Raw data - Scopus Lepidoptera Rearing

This systematic literature review investigates the body of research on rearing conditions of Lepidoptera insects in laboratory settings. A bibliometric analysis conducted on 368 documents extracted from the Scopus database reveals a historical overview spanning from 1836 to 2023, highlighting significant trends in publication rates and citation counts. Despite a consistent rise in yearly publication rates, citation frequencies have notably declined over time. The analysis further explores geographic trends, with authors from forty-nine countries contributing to the research landscape. Brazil emerges as the leading contributor, followed by the United States and China. Additionally, the study identifies 159 different journals publishing articles on the subject, with the Journal of Economic Entomology leading in publication frequency. The most cited article focuses on the transgenic enhancement of rice plants against lepidopteran pests. Further examination, with an emphasis on factors influencing rearing conditions and behavioral studies, categorizes research topics into areas such as basic biology, biological control, and ethological control. Clustering analysis reveals distinct research foci, including the study of larval physiology, host-parasite interactions, and the genetic basis of biological control strategies such as Bacillus thuringiensis and transgenic plants. Studies focusing on the most common species of Lepidoptera, Spodoptera frugiperda, are also identified. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the research trends and thematic areas in the field of the rearing of Lepidoptera under laboratory conditions and can be a source of information for researchers interested in this field.

本系统性文献综述针对实验室环境下鳞翅目（Lepidoptera）昆虫的饲养条件相关研究展开调研。研究团队对从Scopus数据库中提取的368篇文献开展文献计量分析，梳理出1836年至2023年的研究历史脉络，并揭示了发文量与被引频次的显著变化趋势。尽管年度发文量呈持续增长态势，但被引频次却随时间推移出现了明显下降。该分析进一步探究了研究的地域分布特征，来自49个国家的学者共同参与了该领域的研究，其中巴西为第一发文大国，紧随其后的是美国与中国。此外，本研究共识别出159种刊载该领域相关论文的期刊，其中《经济昆虫学期刊》（Journal of Economic Entomology）的发文量位居首位。被引频次最高的论文主题为通过转基因技术改良水稻以抵御鳞翅目害虫。研究进一步聚焦于饲养条件影响因素与行为学相关研究，将研究主题划分为基础生物学、生物防治、行为防治等多个领域。聚类分析结果显示出明确的研究热点方向，包括幼虫生理学研究、宿主-寄生虫互作研究，以及苏云金芽孢杆菌（Bacillus thuringiensis）、转基因作物等生物防治策略的遗传基础研究。研究还识别出针对鳞翅目常见物种草地贪夜蛾（Spodoptera frugiperda）的相关研究。综上，本综述全面梳理了实验室条件下鳞翅目昆虫饲养领域的研究趋势与主题范畴，可为该领域的研究者提供参考信息。
