Abstract
Honeydew is a nutrient rich excretion of aphids. This substance also emits kairomones, serving as a signal that attracts aphid predators and thereby influences the interaction among plants, aphids, and other predators. The overall aim of this study was to investigate the role of honeydew from two aphids species, Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763 and Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris 1776) in the predatory behavior of Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus 1758) and Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer 1776). Specifically, we aimed to (1) evaluate the impact of honeydew on A. bipunctata and (2) E. balteatus and on intraguild interactions (IGI) among them. Our results showed that the presence of honeydew enhanced the mobility of predators by stimulating foraging behavior. In addition, the number of aphids consumed was significantly higher in the presence of honeydew. Interestingly, the predators were more attracted to A. fabae in the presence of A. pisum honeydew. These findings highlight the key role of honeydew in intraguild relationships, altering the prey’s perception from being less preferred to becoming more appealing to predators, akin to their favored prey. These results provide interesting perspectives to improve aphid biological control.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
