AB  - Controlling the number of ticks as carriers of infectious diseases is very important. The process is sometimes compromised by activating the protective mechanisms of the tick itself. Glutathione-S-transferases activity (GSTs) was the subject of our investigation of tick abundance after pyrethroid treatment. We determined GSTs activity in ticks collected from six locations in Belgrade before and after pyrethroid treatment and correlated it with the number of ticks in the locations. The results showed that tick abundance correlated with GSTs activity. On the other hand, treatment efficiency was location-dependent, being similar in each particular location in both April (spring) and October (autumn). Our results suggest that GSTs activity reflects the influence of both present local allelochemicals from different environmental seasonal vegetation and applied pyrethroid. We can conclude that by evaluating GSTs activity in ticks from particular locations as well as during the treatment with acaricides tick removal practice could be improved.

AB  - One long-term studied local population of Bufo bufo situated in the outskirts of
southeastern Belgrade (Serbia) was assessed for changes in body size and age over a
17 years period, at different moments: A (2005: n=47), and B (2013-2014: n=74) for
females, and A (2005: n=94), B (2013-2014: n=151) and C (2020-2021; n=302) for
males. The snout-vent length of the females did not change over time (Mann Whitney
U: Z=-0.89; p>0.05), but their body mass was higher in moment B (Mann Whitney U:
Z=-4.7; p<0.05). The snout-vent length of the males increased over the study period
(Kruskal-Wallis: Chi-sq=26.82; p<0.05), but their body mass remained similar
(Kruskal-Wallis: Chi-sq=26.82; p>0.05). We observed a sexual dimorphism, females
being larger than males (SD =1.31, Mann Whitney U: Z=-16.08; p<0.05). The median
age increased over time in both females (moment A - 4 years old; moment B - 5 years
old; Mann Whitney U; Z=-6.97; p<0.05), and males (moment A - 4 years old, B - 5 years
old, C - 5 years old, Kruskal-Wallis: Chi-sq=40.68; p<0.05). Age of sexual maturity (i.e.,
minimum age observed) remained similar over the study period in both females (3
years old) and males (2 years old). Longevity (i.e., maximum age observed) increased
over the study period, from 6 to 7 years old in females, and from 6 to 9 years old in
males. We revealed positive changes in both body size and age of the studied
population over a 17-years period of monitoring. Thus, our study provides a baseline
that will help monitor and quantify the impact of habitat changes that were only
recently observed in the area (i.e., deforestation, since 2019).

AB  - The goal of this work was to examine interpopulation patterns in the reproductive behavior of populations of bean weevil (Acanthoscelides obtectus Say; Coleoptera: Bruchidae) that had different levels of specialization on their native host plant - the bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), as well as on a novel host plant - the chickpea (Cicer arietinum Thorn). The obtained pattern of interpopulation mating behavior seemed exactly as if the males on chickpea had evolved a specific odor and/or a courtship ritual that females of populations on bean found repulsive. Unlike females, the males of bean populations seemed to be willing to mate with females from the population on chickpea equally as with their own females. Such an asymmetric pattern of reproductive isolation between populations of a species has been often considered an initial phase of a process of speciation. Thus, our results could be a good starting point for further, thorough examination of both the role of the level of host specialization in females and the role of biochemical characteristics of male pheromone (and/or their cuticular hydrocarbones) in the evolution of pre-reproductive isolation between insect populations. As the results of this study, together those of previous studies on A. obtectus, suggest great evolutionary potential for invasions of and fast specialization on novel host plants, they could provide valuable information for the development of long-term strategies under the programmes of Integrated Pest Management.
AB  - Cilj ovog eksperimenta je bio da se u populacijama pasuljevog žiška (Acanthoscelides obtectus Say; Coleoptera: Bruchidae) koje su imale različit nivo specijalizacije na prirodnog domaćina - pasulj (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) i novog domaćina - naut (Cicer arietinum Thorn), ispitaju obrasci reproduktivnog ponašanja u njihovom međusobnom ukrštanju. Dobijeni obrazac ukrštanja izgledao je tačno kao da su mužjaci iz populacije sa nauta vremenom razvili specifičan miris, i/ili ritual, pri parenju koji je za ženke iz populacija sa pasulja bio odbojan. Za razliku od ženki, mužjaci iz populacja sa pasulja bili su jednako voljni da se pare, kako sa ženkama iz svojih, tako i sa ženkama iz populacije sa nauta. Ovakav, asimetrični obrazac reproduktivnog ponašanja različitih populacija jedne vrste često se smatra početnom fazom u procesu nastanka novih vrsta. Stoga, naši rezultati mogu biti značajni kao polazna osnova za dalja, temeljna ispitivanja, kako uloge nivoa specijalizacije na biljku domaćina kod ženki, tako i uloge biohemijskih karakteristika muškog seksualnog feromona (ili kutikularnih hidrokarbona) u procesu evolucije pre-reproduktivnih mehanizama reproduktivne izolacije kod insekata. Takođe, s obzirom da ovi i rezultati prethodnih studija sprovedenih na A. obtectus govore u prilog velikog evolucionog potencijala ovog insekta za invaziju i brzu specijalizaciju na nove biljke domaćine, oni mogu poslužiti kao vredna informacija pri razvoju dugoročnih strategija u okviru programa integrativne borbe protiv štetočina.
