AB  - In this work we have characterized and compared chitin sourced from exoskeleton of Tenebrio molitor larvae fed with polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap combined with bran in the ratio 1:1 with chitin sourced from larvae exoskeleton fed only with bran. Analysis of the frass by ATR-FTIR showed very similar spectra and confirmed degradation of the plastic feed components, while ATR-FTIR analysis of the exoskeleton verified the absence of any plastic residue. Deproteinization followed by demineralization produced 6.78 -5.29 % chitin, showing that plastic (polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap) in the larvae diet resulted in heavier insect exoskeleton, but yielded slightly less chitin, with the lowest value obtained for plastic kitchen wrap in the insect diet. The deacetylation degree of 98.17-98.61% was determined from measured ATR-FTIR spectra. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of -chitin with a crystallinity index of 66.5-62% and crystallite size 4-5 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis showed similar degradation curves for all chitin samples, with two degradation steps. These results show that chitin sourced from exoskeleton of T. molitor larvae fed with plastic (polystyrene or plastic kitchen wrap) and contributing to significant biodegradation of major polluting materials can be a feasible and alternative source of chitin, further promoting a bio-circular economy.

AB  - Aluminum (Al) is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust. It has a variety of applications in many
branches of industry, medicine, pharmacy and cosmetics. The mechanisms of toxicity of this metal
have not yet been elucidated. So far, the effects of pesticide containing Al have been investigated, while
the results describing the effect of different concentrations of this metal on phytophagous insects are
rare, especially in Serbia. In our experiment, larvae of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L., Erebidae) were
exposed to a chronic effect of dietary aluminum (treatment, T) (T1=50; T2 =250, T3=500 and T4=1000
microg/g of dry food), from hatching until the third day of the fifth larval stage (V3). Fitness traits
(relative growth rate – RGR, larval mass at V3, and development time – DT) were monitored, as the first
indicators of aluminum influence on growth and development.
Statistically significant differences were detected in all fitness traits between T2 and T4. In more detail,
differences were noticed between: Control – and treatments (T1 and T2) for larval mass and DT; Control
– and treatments (T3 and T4) for RGR and DT; as well as between T1 and T4 for RGR and larval mass. On
treatments T1, T2, T3, there are significant positive correlations between larval mass and RGR, while on
T2, T3 and T4, there are significant negative correlations between RGR and DT. Changes in insect fitness
traits can be the first warning signal of the aluminum presence in food.

AB  - Global, unpredictable temperature increases have strong effects on all organisms, especially insects. Elucidating the effects of short-term temperature increases on midgut digestive enzymes (α-glucosidase, lipase, trypsin, and leucine aminopeptidase - LAP) and metabolic macromolecules in the hemolymph (proteins, lipids, and trehalose) of phytophagous pest larvae of Lymantria dispar is important for general considerations of insect adaptation to a warming climate and potential pest control options. We also wanted to determine whether the different adaptations of L. dispar populations to environmental pollution might affect their ability to cope with heat stress using larvae from the undisturbed, Kosmaj forest and disturbed, Lipovica forest. Heat treatments at 28 °C increased α-glucosidase activity in both larval populations, inhibited LAP activity in larvae from the polluted forest, and had no significant effect on trypsin and lipase activities, regardless of larval origin. The concentration of proteins, lipids, and trehalose in the hemolymph of larvae from the disturbed forest increased, whereas the population from the undisturbed forest showed only an increase in proteins and lipids after the heat treatments. Larval mass was also increased in larvae from the undisturbed forest. Our results suggest a higher sensitivity of digestive enzymes and metabolism to short-term heat stress in L. dispar populations adapted to pollution in their forest habitat, although climate warming is not beneficial even for populations from unpolluted forests. The digestive and metabolic processes of L. dispar larvae are substantially affected by sublethal short-term increases in ambient temperature.

AB  - In this study, responses of carboxylesterases, acetylcholinesterase, and stress protein Hsp70 were examined in the midgut and midgut tissue, and brain of fifth instar larvae of Lymantria dispar L. and Euproctis chrysorrhoea L. following chronic exposure to dietary fluoranthene. Specific carboxylesterase activity increased significantly in the midgut tissue of E. chrysorrhoea larvae treated with a lower fluoranthene concentration. The specific patterns of isoforms expression, recorded in larvae of both species, enable efficient carboxylesterase activity as a significant part of defense mechanisms. Increased Hsp70 concentration in the brain of L. dispar larvae points to a response to the proteotoxic effects of a lower fluoranthene concentration. Decreased Hsp70 in the brain of E. chrysorrhoea larvae in both treated groups can suggest induction of other mechanisms of defense. The results indicate the importance of the examined parameters in larvae of both species exposed to the pollutant, as well as
their potential as biomarkers.

AB  - Natural selection has significant effect on phenotypic changes in organisms exposed to chronic environmental stress induced by pollutants such as cadmium. The adaptation to such a stress comes as a direct result of natural selection in traits that will induce the evolution of tolerance to stressful environment both directly and indirectly. A statistic method was used in this experiment to determine the standard linear selection gradients (β’) and standard linear selection differentials (i’) used to estimate the intensity of the natural selection to certain traits of the adaptive values (LD – larval development; PM – pupae mass; PD – pupae development) in control group (C) and treatments ((T1 – 10 μg/g Cd; T2 – 30 μg/g Cd; iT3 – 50 μg/g Cd) where adults lifespan (AL) was considered to be the measure of the adaptive value. Significant negative selection gradients and differencials in males to LD in group T3 were determined in our experiment, as well as positive selection gradients and differentials in females to PM in groups C, T1 and T2. Females showed significant selection gradients and differentials to PM in grpoups C, T1 and T2 while the same occured with males from group C. Positive selection gradients and differencials to PD were determined in females from group T1 and males from groups C and T2. When exposed to stressful enviroments, larger females and males with shorter larval and pupal development seem to be favoured by natural selection.

Significant negative selection gradients and differencials in males to LD in group T3 were determined in our experiment, as well as positive selection gradients and differentials in females to PM in groups C, T1 and T2. Females showed significant selection gradients and differentials to PM in grpoups C, T1 and T2 while the same occured with males from group C. Positive selection gradients and differencials to PD were determined in females from group T1 and males from groups C and T2. When exposed to stressful enviroments, larger females and males with shorter larval and pupal development seem to be favoured by natural selection.",

AB  - Increased environmental temperature is one of the most frequent stresses effecting metabolic rate in herbivorous insect species. Our goal was to compare the influence of increased environmental temperature and induced thermotolerance on the activity of midgut phosphatases and brain tissue hsp70 concentration in 5th instar Lymantria dispar larvae originating from an unpolluted and polluted forest. Induced thermotolerance (larval pre-treatment at high, sub-lethal temperature) increases the species ability to overcome the negative effects of thermal stress, therefore we monitored the effect of this regime in larvae originating from both forests. Thermal regimes in this experiment predominantly influenced the alkaline phosphatases  activity and it was affected by temperature, population origin, and their combined effect. Total acid phosphatases activity was changed only by the joint effect of temperature and population origin. Brain hsp70 concentration was under a significant individual and joint effect of temperature and population. In both populations, brain tissue hsp70 concentration and alkaline phosphatases activity should be taken under consideration as a battery with biomarker potential for thermal stress in L. dispar larvae as a bioindicator species.

AB  - Life on Earth exists under the influence of natural magnetic field (geomagnetic field – 25 to 65 μT). Nowadays, this is not the only magnetic field (MF) whose effects we find and endure in nature. Human activities (electrification, industrial and technological development) are sources of several strong artificial MFs. These MFs have a stressful impact on the life processes in the organisms and should be treated as a kind of environmental pollutant that deserves constantly growing attention. Insects are sensitive to Mfs, showing considerable changes in development, neuroendocrine system, genome, metabolism, antioxidative defence, daily activities, orientation, behavior etc. Static magnetic field (SMF) extensively changes free radical production, increases peroxidation processes of lipid bilayers of cell membranes and expresses a negative influence on insect tissues. Prooxidative stressogenic effect of SMF on insect tissues includes modification of activity of antioxidative enzymes and production of non-enzymatic antioxidants.
The aim of our research was to evaluate differences in fitness components (survival rate, larval mass, development duration) and antioxidative defence strategy (activity of superoxide dismutase - SOD, catalase - CAT, glutathion S-transferase - GST and whole amount of glutathione - GSH) of male and female Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar Linnaeus, 1758) larvae, after the long-term exposure to SMF (230mT).
Newly hatched male and female larvae of L. dispar were exposed to a magnetic field of approximately 230 mT generated by a static double U-shaped magnet (Raytheon, model 6002). It consists of two symmetric halves. Magnetic field has relatively homogenous strength and field was measured by a gausmeter (HIRST – GAUSSMETER GM 05, with probe PT 2837 – Hirst Magnetic Instruments LTD, Tesla House, Tregoniggie, Cornwell, UK). Determination of the differences in activities of antioxidative enzymes and the amount of GSH was done in whole larvae homogenates. SOD was conducted according to the methods described by Mistra & Fridovich (1972). CAT activity was determined according to the method by Beutler (1982). GR activity was measured according to Glatzle et al. (1974). GST (antioxidative function) activity was determined according to the method by Habig et al. (1974). Determination of the concentrations of reduced GSH was conducted according to Griffith (1980). We also evaluated fitness components daily.
The study provides information on the effects of the long-term exposure of male and female L. dispar larvae to the SMF. Such exposure induces significant alterations in their strategy of antioxidative defence that are strikingly sex-specific. Increasing the knowledge of effects of SMF exposure in evolutionary simpler organisms may be the basis for understanding its action in higher organisms and humans.

AB  - Magnetic fields are all around us: in the Universe, on the Earth, among and within organisms, cells, molecules, and single atoms. Fast technological development and modernization of life, increase the level of artificial magnetic fields, thus affecting every living beings. Hence, exposure of organisms to omnipresent magnetic field could represent important stressogenic factor for them. Magnetic sensitivity is very well documented in insects, but there is little research of the effects of magnetic fields on antioxidative defense during their development. The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF, 230 mT) on antioxidative defense, as well as life history traits of larval instars (from 1st to 4th) of Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera). The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), and glutathione-S transferase (GST) in each larval instar was measured spectrophotometrically. Life history traits (mortality, larval mass and development duration) were monitored daily. Magnetic field increased the activity of SOD, CAT, GR, and GST in all larval instars, but these changes were significant only in older larval instars (3rd and 4th), except CAT. During the larval development, mortality was higher in SMF group than the control. Also, we observed a significant increase in mass of 4th larval instar in magnetic field compared to the control. On the other hand, we did not detect a significant influence of SMF on duration of larval instars. The obtained results demonstrate differences in MF susceptibility of younger and older larval instars of L. dispar. In conclusion, the applied magnetic field could be considered as a potential stressor influencing life history traits, as well as examined antioxidative biomarkers.

uslovima, ali i u prisustvu stresora,3 ukazuju i specifične aktivnosti i
ekspresije izoformi fosfataza srednjeg creva larvi gubara i žutotrbe,
detektovane u ovom radu., Флуорантен припада групи полицикличних ароматичних угљоводоника (PAH), перзистентних органских полутаната животне средине. Један је од доминантних PAH у лишћу биљака1 оптималних у исхрани полифагних врста инсеката Lymantria dispar L. и Euproctis chrysorrhoea L. Штетни ефекти PAH описани код различитих биљака,2 могу утицати на фитофагне инсекте. Циљ рада је испитивање активности алкалних (ALP) и укупних киселих (ACP) фосфатаза средњег црева ларви ових врста, хронично излаганих средински релевантним концентрацијама флуорантена додатог храни. Разлике у експресији изоформи фосфатаза, и зависност интензитета експресије појединих изоформи од примењене концентрације полутанта, омогућиле су ефикасне специфичне активности ових ензима код ларви губара третираних група. Разлике специфичних активности ALP и већи интензитет експресије изоформе ензима, уочени су код ларви жутотрбе излаганих флуорантену. Значајно повећање специфичне активности ACP и експресија 4 изоформе ензима, детектовани су код ларви жутотрбе излаганих мањој концентрацији флуорантена. Изоформа ензима детектована само у овој групи ларви могла би бити носилац специфичне активности ACP и узрок разлика у одговору овог ензима код ларви испитиваних врста на присуство флуорантена. На значај метаболичких и других улога ових ензима код инсеката у нормалним условима, али и у присуству стресора,3 указују и специфичне активности и експресије изоформи фосфатаза средњег црева ларви губара и жутотрбе, детектоване у овом раду.",

AB  - In this paper, we analyzed the effects of chronic exposure (5 months) to static magnetic field (110 mT; SMF) and extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF MF; 10 mT, 50 Hz) on Blaptica dubia nymphs. We have examined acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) level, two sensitive biomarkers of stress in terrestrial insects. Relative growth rate (RGR), as a life history trait, was estimated. AChE activity was determined spectrophotometrically and HSP70 levels were quantified using indirect non-competitive ELISA and Western blotting. Calculated RGR was significantly changed upon exposure to both types of ambiental MFs. The effects of chronic exposure of B. dubia nymphs to SMF and ELF MF (50 Hz) were observed as decreased activity of AChE. The increased level of HSP70 was present only after exposure to SMF. The strength of ELF MF was most likely below the energy level needed to induce the expression of this stress protein. Different patterns of the expression of two HSP70 isoforms, where isoform 2 was sensitive only to SMF, are most likely a possibly switch - off in the expression of constitutive and/or inducible HSP70 isoforms.

AB  - Cadmium (Cd) presence in terrestrial ecosystems is a serious threat that requires continuous development of biomonitoring tools. Ideally, a suitable biomarker of exposure should respond to the toxicant consistently in different populations regardless of previous exposure to pollution. Here we considered the activities and isoform patterns of certain proteases and acid phosphatases (ACP) in the midgut of Lymantria dispar larvae as well as the integrated biomarker response (IBR) for application in Cd biomonitoring. We compared the responses of caterpillars originating from unpolluted and polluted localities after they had been chronically subjected to dietary Cd (50 and 100 μg Cd/g dry food). The population inhabiting the unpolluted forest was far more sensitive to Cd exposure as the activities of total proteases, trypsin (TRY) and leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) were mostly reduced while the activities of total and non-lysosomal ACP were increased. Non-lysosomal ACP activity was elevated in larvae from the contaminated site in response to the higher Cd concentration. Exposure to the metal resulted in numerous alterations in the pattern of enzyme isoforms, but the responses of the two populations were similar except that larvae from the polluted locality were more tolerant to the lower Cd concentration. Non-lysosomal ACP activity and the appearance of ACP isoforms 4 and 5 together with the IBR index are the most promising indicators of Cd presence, potentially applicable even in populations with a history of exposure to pollution. TRY and total ACP activities could be used to monitor populations at uncontaminated localities.

AB  - Fluoranthene is one of the most abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants in the environment and it may accumulate in plant leaves which are the main food source for phytophagous insect species. The aim of this study was to establish the effects of dietary fluoranthene on specific activities of digestive enzymes and expression of their isoforms in the midgut, and the relative growth rates of Lymantria dispar and Euproctis chrysorrhoea larvae. Exposure to fluoranthene led to significantly decreased trypsin activity in the midgut of larvae of both species. Leucine aminopeptidase activity decreased significantly in the midgut of L. dispar larvae exposed to the lower concentration of fluoranthene, but that enzyme activity showed the opposite trend in E. chrysorrhoea larvae. There was no pollutant induced changes in lipase activity in L. dispar, while elevated enzyme activity was recorded in the midgut of E. chrysorrhoea larvae exposed to the lower concentration of fluoranthene. Different patterns of expression of enzyme isoforms were noticed. Relative growth rates of both species significantly decreased in fluoranthene treated larvae. These responses indicate to the significance of relationships between physiological changes and fitness-related traits in L. dispar and E. chrysorrhoea larvae affected by pollutant, and contribute to understanding the mechanisms of their adjustment to stressful conditions.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Intense anthropogenic influence led to a significant increase in pollution of the biosphere, in which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, especially benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) made a major contribution. Wet and dry deposition gets atmospheric B[a]P on the vegetation, an important sink, and a crucial link for B[a]P bioaccumulation in animals1. The gypsy moth is a phytophagous polyphagous insect that inhabits wide forest areas. Due to its vast appetite, it can pile great amounts of pollutants making it a suitable model system for biomonitoring the adverse effects of B[a]P. The larval midgut is the central metabolic place where trypsin and lipases provide efficient digestion of protein and lipids-rich food, showing sensitivity to chemical pollutants2,3. Molecular parameters can be affected by physiological and environmental factors, so different adaptations of insects to the contaminants should be considered during the assessment of biomarker potential. OBJECTIVES: The aim was to investigate chronic effects of dietary treatment with B[a]P on midgut enzyme activities of trypsin and lipase, as well as the content of total proteins and lipids in hemolymph in gypsy moth larvae from two populations - one from an unpolluted oak forest and the other from a polluted oak forest. Furthermore, we used the method of Integrated Biomarker Response (IBR) to summarize responses of multiple molecular parameters across different tissues to estimate their sensitivity to B[a]P exposure in terms of population origin. METHOD / DESIGN: Gypsy moth egg masses were gathered in two mixed oak forests – Đerdap National Park forest, free of industrial pollution (unpolluted population of larvae, UP), and Bor forest contaminated by various byproducts of the mining industry (polluted population of larvae, PP). From hatching until the sacrifice (third day of the 5th instar) larvae were fed with a diet containing 0 ng (UP 0 ng and PP 0 ng), 5 ng (UP 5 ng and PP 5 ng), or 50 ng (UP 50 ng and PP 50 ng) of B[a]P in 1 g of dry diet. Spectrophotometric assays were used for the determination of specific enzyme activities of trypsin and lipase in the homogenates of the midgut, as well as for the evaluation of total proteins and lipids in the hemolymph of larvae4-8. Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test was used for statistical analyses, conducted in GraphPad Prism 8 (GraphPad Software, Inc., USA). Statistical significance was determined at probability (p)<0.05. Excel software (Microsoft, USA) was used to calculate IBR values and to generate star plots9. RESULTS: The specific activity of trypsin has significantly inhibited after the treatment with lower B[a]P concentration in UP (F=9.412, p=0.0004), while a higher concentration of B[a]P significantly induced lipase activity in the same population of larvae (F=8.382, p=0.0007). These enzymes showed no statistically significant changes in the PP. Hemolymph protein content was significantly affected by the chronic dietary exposure to the higher concentration of B[a]P in both populations of larvae, showing a decrease in the UP, and the elevation in the PP (F=10.16, p=0.0002). Lipid concentration was not significantly changed under the B[a]P influence regarding the control groups (UP/PP 0 ng) but there was a meaningful difference between B[a]P treated larvae among two populations (F=7.16, p=0.019). IBR index increased in a concentration-dependent way only in UP after the chronic exposure to B[a]P and the values were higher than the corresponding ones in the PP (IBR index values - UP 0 ng=0; UP 5 ng=1.62; UP 50 ng=4.84; PP 0 ng=2.01; PP 5 ng=1.10; PP 50 ng=3.08). CONCLUSIONS: Gypsy moth population from the unpolluted forest showed higher sensitivity to the chronic dietary exposure to B[a]P comparing to the population from the polluted forest, especially in terms of trypsin and lipase activity. Hemolymph protein level expressed well correspondence to B[a]P concentration in both populations but with inverse trends. The selected set of Gypsy moth larvae molecular parameters possess a good potential for B[a]P biomonitoring in the populations from unpolluted forest ecosystems.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Environmental temperature has a direct impact on the development of phytophagous insects, and an indirect, through influence on their host plant composition. Alkaline phosphatases (ALP) and total acid phosphatases (tot ACP) are midgut enzymes included in metabolic processes. Previous contact of population with various stressors, but also their ability to overcome the effects of the raised temperature (thermotolerance), can modify the response of these enzymes to increased environmental temperature.
OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to compare the differences in responses of midgut ALP and tot ACP and expression of their isoforms to increased environmental temperature with and without induced thermotolerance, in gypsy moth 5th instar caterpillars from unpolluted and polluted habitats.
METHOD / DESIGN: Caterpillars were hatched from egg masses collected in unpolluted (UP population) and polluted forest (PP population). They were reared at 23°C (PP23 and UP 23) and 28°C (PP28 and UP28) until 3rd day of 5th instar. In both populations a group of individuals were exposed to 28°C for 24 h (induced thermotolerance) at the beginning of the 4th instar. Afterwards they were returned to 23°C until the sacrification (PP23In and UP23In) or exposed to 28°C for 72h before sacrification on the 3rd day of 5th instar (PP28In and UP28In). The activity of enzymes was measured spectrophotometrically, using p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) as substrate, under alkaline conditions for ALP and acid conditions for tot ACP. Isoforms of both enzymes were detected on 12% polyacrylamide gel native PAGE. 
RESULTS: In UP groups, midgut ALP showed increased activity upon exposure to 28°C, with and without induced thermotolerance, while in PP caterpillars induced thermotolerance was the only factor that elevated ALP activity. Two way ANOVA analysis revealed that the interaction of temperature treatments and population origin (unpolluted vs polluted forest) was extremely significant (F3,67=27.6, p<0.0001) for changes in midgut ALP activity, as well as the individual influence of increased temperature (F3,67=30.9, p<0.0001) and the origin of the population (F1,67=28.6, p<0.0001). Three ALP isoforms were detected. Isoform 1 was present only in PP groups exposed to 28°C, second is present in all experimental groups, and the third showed lower band density in PP treatments in comparison to UP. In UP23In tot ACP activity was elevated, while in PP treatments it was decreased. The interaction of temperature and population origin was extremely significant for tot ACP activity (two way ANOVA, F3,72=10.48, p<0.0001), while their individual influence was not. Four isoforms of tot ACP were detected on gel. Isoform 1 was present only in PP groups, isoform 2 has higher density in both populations and all treatments in comparison to controls. High band density of isoform 3 is present in all experimental groups, while induced thermotolerance and increased temperature, in both population, increased band density of isoform 4.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased environmental temperature and induced thermotolerance have different effects on the activity of both enzymes in caterpillars from unpolluted and polluted habitats. ALP activity was more sensitive to thermal treatments in individuals originating from unpolluted forests, in comparison to those from polluted habitats, where, on the other hand, completely new isoform was detected upon exposure to increased temperature. Tot ACP activity was decreased in all treatments in caterpillars from polluted habitats and a new isoform band was detected on native gels, while in those from unpolluted forest, induced thermotolerance had the effect on the activity of tot ACP. Obtained results indicate the differences in sensitivity to increased environmental temperature between populations with different histories of exposure to pollution and that they must be considered as well.

AB  - Accumulation of organic pollutants in the environment calls for sensing physiological parameters adequate to
indicate the presence of contaminants and their effects on ecosystems. Evidence points to the importance of
insect adaptations in their habitats for the assessment of sensitive biomarkers so we examined the influence of
origin and multigenerational adaptations of the Lymantria dispar larvae to chronic benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P)
treatment under laboratory conditions. The main aim was to compare reactions of larvae from unpolluted and
polluted forests using alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), and carboxylesterase (CE) specific
activities in the midgut, including electrophoretic isoform patterns; midgut expression levels of Hsp70, larval
development time (DT), and midgut mass (MM), after chronic exposure to 5 and 50 ng of B[a]P/g dry food
weight. The biomarker potential of these parameters regarding larval pre-exposure history to pollution was
estimated by principal component analysis (PCA). B[a]P treatment resulted in inhibition of ALP activity, a rise of
CE activity, and reduction of MM in larvae from the unpolluted forest, while the population from the polluted
forest showed significant elevation of Hsp70 expression in the midgut, prolonged DT, and reduction of MM. PCA
confirmed variations in responses of the selected parameters regarding population origin. The obtained results
provide insight into insect population variability concerning physiological responses to pollutants. It is indicative
that all investigated physiological parameters of L. dispar larvae showed origin-dependent responses to long-term
presence of B[a]P, which may be of great importance in ecotoxicological research.

activities in the midgut, including electrophoretic isoform patterns; midgut expression levels of Hsp70, larval
development time (DT), and midgut mass (MM), after chronic exposure to 5 and 50 ng of B[a]P/g dry food
weight. The biomarker potential of these parameters regarding larval pre-exposure history to pollution was
estimated by principal component analysis (PCA). B[a]P treatment resulted in inhibition of ALP activity, a rise of
CE activity, and reduction of MM in larvae from the unpolluted forest, while the population from the polluted
forest showed significant elevation of Hsp70 expression in the midgut, prolonged DT, and reduction of MM. PCA
confirmed variations in responses of the selected parameters regarding population origin. The obtained results
provide insight into insect population variability concerning physiological responses to pollutants. It is indicative
that all investigated physiological parameters of L. dispar larvae showed origin-dependent responses to long-term
presence of B[a]P, which may be of great importance in ecotoxicological research.",

AB  - A crucial enzyme in feeding and survival of Lymantria dispar (gypsy moth) caterpillars is β-glucosidase. Considering that this herbivorous species is one of the most damaging pests, a study of the enzyme that hydrolyzes plant polysaccharides is of invaluable significance. The knowledge of glucosidase alterations helps clarify our understanding of the insect pest feeding strategy in highly polluted environments. We sought to find out whether acute and chronic exposures to cadmium (10 and 30 μg Cd/g dry food), as well as the recovery from long-term treatment, influence the specific activity of midgut β-glucosidase. Cadmium ingestion did not alter enzyme activity compared to control, regardless of the treatment duration and metal concentration. The only statistically significant increase in enzyme activity was detected during the recovery after chronic treatment at 10 μg Cd/g dry food compared to the chronic cadmium effect at the same metal concentration. During chronic treatment at a lower cadmium concentration (10 μg Cd/g dry food), the phenotypic plasticity index was higher than at the recovery from the same concentration, while the variability of plasticity among these treatments was higher after recovery. Only one enzyme isoform was detected, which indicates its ability to hydrolyze several substrates. We concluded that this enzyme is probably essential for larval nutrition and survival in the presence of high amounts of cadmium in the food.

AB  - Purpose: This study deals with a comparative analysis of the effects of chronic exposure to a static magnetic field (SMF) and an extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF MF) in Blaptica dubia nymphs. The outcome of such treatment on insect and fat body mass, glycogen and total lipid content in the fat body and locomotion, as an energy demanding process, were examined. Materials and methods: One-month-old nymphs of B. dubia were exposed to an SMF (110 mT) or ELF MF (50 Hz, 10 mT) for 5 months. Their locomotion was monitored in the 'open-field' test for 10 min and expressed as travel distance, time in movement and average speed while in motion. After that, fat body mass and content of its main components (glycogen and total lipids) were determined. Nymph body mass was also estimated after 1 and 5 months of MF treatment. Results: Chronic exposure to the SMF and ELF MF decreased nymph body mass and glycogen content in the fat body but increased all examined parameters of locomotion. In addition, chronic SMF treatment elevated total lipid content in the fat body, while chronic ELF MF treatment reduced fat body mass and total lipid content. Conclusions: These findings indicate that B. dubia nymphs are sensitive to the applied MFs and possess different strategies for fuel usage in response to the SMF and ELF MF in order to satisfy increased energy demands and to overcome stressful conditions.

AB  - This study examined the effect of long-term exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of dietary fluoranthene (6.7 and 67 ng / g dry food weight) on defense mechanisms of the polyphagous forest insects Lymantria dispar L. and Euproctis chrysorrhoea L. The activities and expression of isoforms of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), the activities of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR), and total glutathione content (GSH) were determined in the whole midgut and midgut tissue, while SOD and CAT activities were assessed in hemolymph of the larvae. The results showed significant changes of enzyme activities, with more pronounced responses in larval midgut tissues, and between-species differences in patterns of response. Significantly increased activity of SOD was recorded in the whole midgut and midgut tissue of L. dispar larvae, as well as in midgut tissue of E. chrysorrhoea larvae. Fluoranthene increased CAT activity in midgut tissue of L. dispar larvae, and in the whole midgut and midgut tissue of E. chrysorrhoea larvae. Different expression patterns were detected for enzyme isoforms in tissues of larvae exposed to dietary fluoranthene. Total GSH content and GST activity increased in E. chrysorrhoea larval midgut tissue. Significantly decreased SOD activity in hemolymph of L. dispar larvae, and opposite changes in CAT activity were recorded in the hemolymph of larvae of two insect species. The tissue-specific responses of enzymes to dietary fluoranthene, recorded in each species, enabled the larvae to overcome the pollutant induced oxidative stress, and suggest further assessment of their possible use as early-warning signals of environmental pollution.

AB  - During the evolution, all organisms are exposed to the constant action of different environmental
factors, biotic and abiotic, which are variable in time and space. Life on Earth is formed in a natural
magnetic field (geomagnetic field). Therefore, magnetic field (MF) is classified as abiotic factor that
help maintain different life processes of plants, animals and humans, as well as their biological and
physiological functions. Organisms are exposed to new type of artificial MFs, due to the increasing
electrification and technological development. So, MF is growing environmental pollutant and as a
consequence of response and/or adaptation of organisms on new, stressful conditions, changes could
be observed on all levels of the biological organization. So, the aim of this study was to evaluate the
long – term effect of a static MF (SMF) and an extremely low frequency MF (ELF MF) on the motor
behaviour in Blaptica dubia nymphs, as well as on their fat body glycogen concentration and total
lipid content. One month old nymphs were randomly divided into three experimental groups:
control, exposed to SMF (110 mT) and exposed to ELF MF (50 Hz, 10 mT). The cockroaches were
exposed to these MFs for 5 months, while the control ones were kept outside the reach of the
magnetic field. Fat body glycogen concentration, as well as total lipid content, was measured
spectrophotometrically according to Wyatt and Kalf (1957) and Stone and Mordue (1980),
respectively. Also, we monitored nymphal behaviour for 10 minutes in “open – field” test and
analyzed several behavioural parameters (travel distance, average speed while in motion, time
mobile, travel distance of the head, number of body rotations, immobility time) using ANY – maze
software. Exposure to SMF and ELF MF affected the all examined behavioural parameters. Namely,
in comparison to control cockroaches, all parameters, except immobility time, were significantly
higher in B. dubia nymphs exposed to both MFs. The difference between the MF groups was no
statistically significant. In SMF and ELF MF groups, fat body glycogen concentration was
significantly lower compared to control group. Between the MF groups significant differences were
not observed. The lipid concentration in the fatty body of B. dubia nymphs depended on the applied
MF. In nymphs exposed to SMF, total lipid content was significantly higher compared to control. ELF
MF caused its decrease compared to control and SMF group. These differences were significant only
for SMF group. This study provides evidences that long – term exposure of B. dubia nymphs to
magnetic fields induces important alterations in their motor behaviour, and consequently examined
parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

control, exposed to SMF (110 mT) and exposed to ELF MF (50 Hz, 10 mT). The cockroaches were
exposed to these MFs for 5 months, while the control ones were kept outside the reach of the
magnetic field. Fat body glycogen concentration, as well as total lipid content, was measured
spectrophotometrically according to Wyatt and Kalf (1957) and Stone and Mordue (1980),
respectively. Also, we monitored nymphal behaviour for 10 minutes in “open – field” test and
analyzed several behavioural parameters (travel distance, average speed while in motion, time
mobile, travel distance of the head, number of body rotations, immobility time) using ANY – maze
software. Exposure to SMF and ELF MF affected the all examined behavioural parameters. Namely,
in comparison to control cockroaches, all parameters, except immobility time, were significantly
higher in B. dubia nymphs exposed to both MFs. The difference between the MF groups was no
statistically significant. In SMF and ELF MF groups, fat body glycogen concentration was
significantly lower compared to control group. Between the MF groups significant differences were
not observed. The lipid concentration in the fatty body of B. dubia nymphs depended on the applied
MF. In nymphs exposed to SMF, total lipid content was significantly higher compared to control. ELF
MF caused its decrease compared to control and SMF group. These differences were significant only
for SMF group. This study provides evidences that long – term exposure of B. dubia nymphs to
magnetic fields induces important alterations in their motor behaviour, and consequently examined
parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.",

AB  - Nowadays, it is of importance to perceive the benefits and costs of enhanced
technological development which implies the presence of various forms of
magnetic fields in the living and working environment. Living organisms are
confronted with that influence and it is useful to find out how we can minimize
costs and reap the benefits. The aim of this research was to consider the pattern
of antioxidant defense in Drosophila subobscura adults exposed at different
developmental stages (embryons or just eclosed adults) to extremely low
frequency magnetic field (ELF MF; 50 Hz, 0.5 mT, 48 h). The consequences of
this treatment were evaluated by measuring the activity of superoxide dismutase
(SOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as the content of total glutathione (GSH).
The obtained results indicated different pattern of antioxidant defense in females
and males after exposure to ELF MF. In females, decreased SOD activity
together with increased CAT activity and GSH content were observed regardless
of whether they were exposed to ELF MF as embryons or just eclosed
individuals. In males, SOD activity was increased after exposure of embryons,
while CAT activity and GSH content were increased after exposure of just
eclosed individuals. In conclusion, ELF MF could be considered as a stressful
factor affecting the pattern of antioxidant defense in D. subobscura.

AB  - Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants which exert detrimental effects on living beings. Considering the health risk associated with exposure to these pollutants, their presence in food increases efforts to establish early-warning indicators of pollution. We aimed to examine the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of fluoranthene (0.2 ng and 18 ng/g dry weight of diet) on the activities of midgut antioxidant and detoxification enzymes in Blaptica dubia. Significant changes of superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, recorded at the higher fluoranthene concentration regardless of the exposure time, suggest that they may be used as biomarkers of PAH pollution. Increased GST activity and decreased total GSH content, detected upon acute exposure to the lower concentration, indicate processes of detoxification. Reorganization of B. dubia mechanisms of defense in response to oxidative stress caused by exposure to dietary PAH point to the necessity for further examination of fluoranthene actions.

AB  - Cadmium (Cd) can display a variety of different effects on living organisms. The objectives of the present study were to investigate Cd bioaccumulation and differences in parameters of oxidative stress (activities of the enzymes: superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, and amounts of non-enzymatic free sulfhydryl groups and total glutathione) and cholinesterase activity in larval brain and midgut tissues of the polyphagous forest insect Lymantria dispar collected from unpolluted and polluted oak forests. Fourth instar L. dispar caterpillars from the unpolluted forest had higher body mass but accumulated more Cd in comparison to caterpillars from the polluted forest. In both populations the midgut was more sensitive than the brain to the prooxidative effects of Cd. Enzyme activities and amounts of non-enzymatic parameters tended to be greater in midgut tissues than in the brain, except for cholinesterase activity. Parameters of oxidative stress had higher values in caterpillar tissues from the polluted than from the unpolluted oak forest. The observed differences between the two natural populations point to the importance of knowing the history of population exposure to environmental pollution when monitoring forest ecosystems.

AB  - Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most prevalent type B trichothecene mycotoxins present in cereals such as: wheat, rye, barley, oats and corn. It initiates a wide range of toxic effects on human and animal health. As an edible insect species for the growing human population, Tenebrio molitor is typically fed on cereal bran or flour. In the present study T. molitor L. larvae were grown for two weeks on wheat bran artificially contaminated with DON at four concentrations: 4.9 μg/g, 8 μg/g, 16 μg/g and 25 μg/g. The effects of DON intake on survival, growth, activity of the antioxidant enzymes - superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and the phase II biotransformation enzyme - glutathione-S-transferase (GST), protein content and locomotor activity were monitored in two-month-old T. molitor larvae. The study revealed that DON at concentrations ranging from 4.9 to 25 μg/g wheat bran reduced larval body weight and protein content. Furthermore, it increased SOD and GST activity, had no effect on CAT activity. Also, this study showed that presence of DON in these concentrations has no direct detrimental effects on larval survival, but reduced locomotor activity. The observed effects were particularly pronounced in the larvae given the highest DON concentration 25 μg/g. These finding reveals that DON in artificially contaminated wheat bran at concentrations up to 25 μg/g is able to induce dose-dependent physiological and behavioral changes in T. molitor larvae.
