Development and demographic parameters of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J.E. Smith) when feeding on rice (Oryza sativa)

Timothy Joseph Krupnik (2023, [Artículo])

Fall Armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), native to the Americas, is a polyphagous insect pest feeding on more than 350 plant species. We studied the developmental and demographic parameters of the maize (Zea mays) strain of FAW on rice (Oryza sativa), and compared the results with its prime host, maize. The developmental period from egg to adult among rice varieties did not differ significantly; however, it did differ significantly between rice and maize, as feeding on rice rather than maize extends development duration of FAW larvae by 15.15%. FAW larvae collected and reared on maize were found to be of significantly higher weight than those reared on rice at two sequential dates of their development; pupal weight however was observed as statistically similar between these two host crops. Regardless of the host, female adults always emerged before males; in maize, female FAW appeared 3.36 days earlier than males. Females derived from rice had longer pre-oviposition periods and shorter oviposition ones than those derived from maize. In rice and maize, the age-specific fecundity rate (mx) peaked at 40 days and 33 days, respectively. When the Fall Armyworm consumed maize instead of rice, there was an increase in the reproduction rate (R 0), the intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm), and the finite rate of increase (λ). For instance, when FAW fed on rice, the rm value was 0.121, whereas it rose to 0.173 when FAW fed on maize. Feeding on rice instead of maize resulted in significantly longer mean length of generation (tG) and doubling time (tD) for the fall armyworm (FAW). This suggests that it took a longer time for the FAW population to double when it was fed rice under controlled greenhouse conditions. In summary, our research suggests that FAW can survive and complete its life cycle on rice plants and on multiple varieties of rice in Bangladesh. However, field verification is necessary before drawing strong conclusions as to the risk posed by FAW in rice. This requires additional studies of FAW and associated insect community dynamics under non-controlled conditions and in the context of multi-species interactions in Asian rice fields.

Biodiversidad en las ciudades: el caso de las epífitas vasculares

Demetria Martha Mondragón Chaparro MARTHA PATRICIA MORA FLORES (2022, [Artículo])

Cada vez más hay un reconocimiento del valor de las ciudades como reservorios de biodiversidad. ¿Qué tanto se resguardan las especies?, dependerá del grupo de organismos que se trate; por ello, nos dimos a la tarea de averiguar cuántas especies de epífitas vasculares se encuentran presentes en la ciudad de Oaxaca de Juárez, México, encontrando solo seis especies, todas pertenecientes al género Tillandsia (Bromeliaceae), siendo T. recurvata la más abundante y mejor distribuida dentro de la ciudad. Ahora queda por investigar, que factores pudieran explicar esta baja diversidad.

La flora electrónica de México “eFloraMEX”: un sueño para los botánicos

MARIA VICTORIA SOSA ORTEGA Diego Angulo (2023, [Artículo])

La flora electrónica de México “eFloraMEX” documenta las especies de plantas vasculares nativas. Para iniciarla, se publicó en su portal la lista florística con aproximadamente 29,000 especies, representando el punto de partida del proyecto. La flora electrónica de México contendrá información e imágenes sobre las especies, así como claves de identificación y tratamientos taxonómicos. Taxónomos especialistas en grupos de plantas colaborarán en su desarrollo, coordinados por los comités editorial, ejecutivo y bioinformático. La eFloraMEX es un esfuerzo conjunto, por lo que cualquier taxónomo o institución interesada podrá participar.

Environmental Nanoparticles Reach Human Fetal Brains

"Anthropogenic ultrafine particulate matter (UFPM) and industrial and natural nanoparticles (NPs) are ubiquitous. Normal term, preeclamptic, and postconceptional weeks(PCW) 8–15 human placentas and brains from polluted Mexican cities were analyzed by TEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We documented NPs in maternal erythrocytes, early syncytiotrophoblast, Hofbauer cells, and fetal endothelium (ECs). Fetal ECs exhibited caveolar NP activity and widespread erythroblast contact. Brain ECs displayed micropodial extensions reaching luminal NP-loaded erythroblasts. Neurons and primitive glia displayed nuclear, organelle, and cytoplasmic NPs in both singles and conglomerates. Nanoscale Fe, Ti, and Al alloys, Hg, Cu, Ca, Sn, and Si were detected in placentas and fetal brains. Preeclamptic fetal blood NP vesicles are prospective neonate UFPM exposure biomarkers. NPs are reaching brain tissues at the early developmental PCW 8–15 stage, and NPs in maternal and fetal placental tissue compartments strongly suggests the placental barrier is not limiting the access of environmental NPs. Erythroblasts are the main early NP carriers to fetal tissues. The passage of UFPM/NPs from mothers to fetuses is documented and fingerprinting placental single particle composition could be useful for postnatal risk assessments. Fetal brain combustion and industrial NPs raise medical concerns about prenatal and postnatal health, including neurological and neurodegenerative lifelong consequences."
