AB  - This work examines the effects of cadmium on changes to the index of phenotypic plasticity
during the larval development in gypsy moth. Control group without cadmium supplements and three
cadmium-fed groups were formed: C1 (10 μg Cd/g dry weight), C2 (30 μg Cd/g dry weight) and C3
(50 μg Cd/g dry weight). Evaluation of the index of phenotypic plasticity was performed according to
Cheplick’s and Lee’s method. Index comparison according to Lee has determined the statistically
significantly higher value in group C1 in relation to C2 during the larval development until third
instar, and in group C3 in relation to C1 during third instar. Additionally, higher values in group C1 in
relation to C2 have also been determined until the fourth instar. Phenotypic index value comparison
according to Cheplick has determined significantly higher values in group C1 larvae in relation to C3
during the larval development until the third instar, whereas groups C2 and C3 yielded values higher
until the fourth instar. Aforementioned traits and their values in group C3 were recorded as negative
which suggests that cadmium presence in the environment during certain stages of larval development
can be of significant effect to direction of changes in phenotypic plasticity.

AB  - Cadmium, like many other pollutants, is nondegradable and can be accumulated by Lymantria dispar at a level that affects fitness components, physiology, and development, which could indicate presence of environment pollution by heavy metals. The cadmium effect on fitness-related traits in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth instar of L. dispar L. was determined. Furthermore, activities of the following antioxidative defense components after the larvae had been fed on the artificial cadmium-supplemented diet (50 mu g Cd/g dry food) were assessed: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APOX), total glutathione amount (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), and the amount of free sulfhydryl (SH) groups. Statistically significant delay of development in the fourth, fifth, and sixth instar and decrease of the larval mass in the third and fourth instar were estimated after the exposure to cadmium through food in comparison to the control. There were no changes in SOD activity of cadmium-treated larvae. Significantly lower CAT, APOX, and GR activities were recorded in the third, fifth, and in the third instar, respectively. At the same time, higher activity was recorded in the sixth instar, while GST activity was higher in the third. GSH content was significantly lower during all instars after treatment but the amount of SH groups was higher in older larvae. The strategy of antioxidative defense and the adjustment or modulation of fitness-related traits in presence of cadmium was dependent on the age of larvae in L. dispar, which might be used in early metal risk assessment in Lepidoptera and other insects.

AB  - The effects of tannic acid on mean values and genetic variation in fitness-related traits (mass, relative growth rate) and specific activities of digestive enzymes (total proteases, alpha-glucosidase and lipase), and genetic variation in their plasticity, were investigated in fifth instar larvae of Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) originating from two populations with different host use histories (oak and locust-tree). The two populations did not differentiate with respect to fitness-related traits, i.e. adverse effects of tannic acid were similar in both populations. However, Robinia larvae, which originated from the locust-tree forest, were characterized by higher total protease and lipase activity and lower alpha-glucosidase activity than Quercus larvae, which originated from the oak forest. Higher plasticity of lipase and lower plasticity of alpha-glucosidase in response to tannic acid were also recorded. Quantitative genetic analysis revealed mostly significant expression of genetic variation in the examined traits and trait plasticity, suggesting the potential for evolution of adaptive plastic responses to new environmental conditions and presence of a stressor. The genetic correlations observed between the environments significantly differed from "one", which indicates there are no constraints on the evolution of trait plasticity.

AB  - This study aimed to determine the effect of magnetic fields on the antioxidative defense and fitness-related traits of Baculum extradentatum. Following exposure to magnetic fields, antioxidative defense (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities, and total glutathione (GSH) content) and fitness-related traits (egg mortality, development dynamics, and mass of nymphs) were monitored in nymphs. The experimental groups were: control (kept out of influence of the magnets), a group exposed to a constant magnetic field (CMF) of 50mT, and a group exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) of 50Hz, 6mT. We found increased SOD and CAT activities in animals exposed to constant and AMFs, whereas GSH activity was not influenced by experimental magnetic fields. No differences were found in egg mortality between control and experimental groups. Significant differences in the time of development between the control and the CMF group were observed, as well as between the CMF and the AMF group. No differences were found in the mass of the nymphs between the three experimental groups. In conclusion, CMF and AMF have the possibility to modulate the antioxidative defense and some of the fitness-related traits in B. extradentatum. Bioelectromagnetics 33:265273, 2012.

AB  - Many biochemical, physiological and histological criteria have been used as indicators of exposures and effects of the contaminants. These changes can indicate the response of an organism to a specific environmental stressor. In the present paper, the effect of the acute and chronic exposure to cadmium as well as recovery from two cadmium concentrations (10 and 30 μg Cd/g dry food) on gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) midgut esterases was investigated. The influence of cadmium on trait plasticity was also examined. Esterases showed great sensitivity to low metal concentrations during acute and chronic treatments. Their activities during short-term exposure and after recovery significantly depended on cadmium concentrations. The esterases had greater index of plasticity during chronic treatments with 10 and 30 μg Cd/dry food. Five esterase isoforms between 64 and 250 kDa were detected. Isoforms of esterases exposed to any of the two cadmium effects differed among several egg-masses. Isozymes were distinguished in one egg-mass during different cadmium treatments. We conclude that these enzymes could be considered potential and sensitive non-selective biomarkers for the presence of cadmium in food.

AB  - Purpose. To examine the effects of acute exposure to strong static magnetic fields and extremely low frequency magnetic fields, on neurosecretory neurons which synthesise insulin-like neurohormone. Materials and methods: Immunocytochemical detection of bombyxin-like material in the protocerebral neurosecretory neurons of Lymantria dispar caterpillars was performed using a monoclonal antibody directed against a synthetic dekapeptide corresponding to the N-terminus of the bombyxin A-chain. Caterpillars were exposed to strong static magnetic fileds (235 mT) and extremely low frequency magnetic fields (2 mT) for three days after moulting into the 4th instar. Results: We report the presence of immunoreactive molecules in A2 type of medial neurosecretory neurons (nsn) in caterpillars' brain of L. dispar. The three-day exposure of caterpillars to stresogenic external magnetic fields changed the size of A2 type nsn, their nuclei and the intensity of protein band in the region of bombyxin molecular mass (4-6 kD) after exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields in comparison to control group and group treated by strong static magnetic fields. Conclusion: These are the first data on the influence of external magnetic fields on the polyphagous phytophagous forest pest L. dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantridae) indicating an intensive synthesis of insulin-like neurosecretory material.

AB  - Ghrelin is a 28-amino acid peptide which has significant effects on animal appetite, thus influencing body mass. The aim of our study was to examine the effects of ghrelin on the feeding behavior and physiology 4th instar caterpillars of the pest insect, Lymantria dispar L. Treatment of 4th instar caterpillars with four subpicomolar amounts of ghrelin had a positive influence on daily food intake, frass elimination, body mass. Also, locomotor activity increased, while stadium duration decreased in treated caterpillars. The similarity between the effects of ghrelin on caterpillar physiology and those in mammals suggests that using this model system for further studies of neuroendocrinological processes underlying feeding could lead to essential information about more complex organisms.

AB  - U cilju ispitivanja uticaja matičinog mleča na razviće nekih vrsta Coleoptera, koristili smo larve dve vrste: Tenebrio molitor i Morimus funereus. Larve obe vrste, podeljenje su u dve grupe: kontrolnu grupu i grupu kojoj je u hranu dodavan matičin mleč (tretirana grupa). 
Kontrolne larve brašnenog moljca T. molitor, postavljane su na smešu mekinja i kvasca (1%), dok je tretiranoj grupi u ovako spremljenu hranu dodavan mleč (1g matičinog mleča po jedinki). Prosečna težina larvi ove vrste u obe grupe je iznosila po 0.0028 g. 
Kod larvi M. funereus, kontrolna grupa larvi prosečne težine 0.152 g postavljena je na standardnu podlogu za Drosophila sp. Prosečna težina larvi u tretiranoj grupi kojoj je u hranu dodavan mleč (1g matičinog mleča na 200 g podloge, tj. 0.1 g po jedinki), bila je 0.158 g. 
Eksperimentalni postupak je trajao četiri nedelje. Podloga kod larvi obe vrste je menjana jednom nedeljno, kada su vršena i pojedinačna merenja biomase jedinki u okviru svake od eksperimentalnih grupa. 
Na kraju eksperimenta, urađena je statistička analiza dobijenih podataka (ANOVA, Fisher LSD test). Testovi su pokazali da kod obe vrste Coleoptera, postoje statistički značajno povećanje biomasi larvi, gajenih na mleču, u odnosu na kontrolu.
