Abstract:
... Since its emergence as a pest of grapevine about 150 years ago, studies on the life cycle and mode of reproduction of grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch) (Homoptera: Phylloxeridae) have been of considerable scientific interest and importance for applied viticulture. The life cycle of grape phylloxera, as described in the mid to late nineteenth century, is still subject to discussion ...

Traps baited with Z11-16: Ac, Z11-16: Ald, Z11-16:OH, and Z13-18: Ac, singly or in mixtures, were tested for their attractivity for males of microlepidoptera in an apple orchard, a mixed deciduous forest, and a coniferous forest. In particular, Z11-16: Ac and Z111-16: Ald attracted some Crambinae, one Glyphipteryx species, and several species of Argyresthia, including the injurous species A. funde ...

Abstract:
... (Z)-3-nonenol, (Z,Z)-3,6-nonadienol and (S,S)-(-)epianastrephin proved active as male-produced pheromones which elicited behavioral responses from virgin female Mexican fruit flies (Anastrepha ludens) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in laboratory bioassays. All three chemicals elicited attraction and/or locomotor arrest when tested individually. When tested together, (Z)-3-nonenol inhibited the behavioral ...

Abstract:
... Sex pheromones are known for only a few major click beetle (Coleoptera: Elateridae) pests in North America. These pheromones could be used to monitor, as well as control, adult beetles. Our objective was to identify the sex pheromone of female Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown), a predominant elaterid pest species in farmland in the Canadian Prairie provinces. Headspace volatiles from a gro ...

Abstract:
... New techniques are presented on the use of 15N to mark insects. 15N, a stable isotope of nitrogen, was enriched above natural abundance in plant and insect tissues. Two laboratory studies demonstrated that enriched 15N-concentrations could be tracked from plant to insect using mass spectrometry. In the first study, adult Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjimov) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Hippodamia conver ...

Increased 15N-contents were obtained in all aphids with no detrimental effect on survival and fertility. When 15N-marked aphids were transferred to non 15N-enriched seedlings, after a short initial decreasing ...

The allelochemic, 2-tridecanone, which conditions resistance in the wild tomato Lycopersicon hirsutum f. glabratum to Manduca sexta and plays an important role in the resistance to Leptinotarsa decemlineate is shown to induce an enhanced level of tolerance to the carbamate insecticide carbaryl in a third important insect pest of tomato, Heliothis zea. This phenomenon has important implications reg ...
