Abstract:
... Arthropod assemblages form a fundamental part of terrestrial ecosystems, underpinning ecosystem processes and services. Yet, little is known about how invertebrate communities, as a whole, respond to climatic and atmospheric changes, including predicted increases in carbon dioxide concentrations (CO₂). To date, woodland Free Air CO₂ Enrichment (FACE) studies have focused entirely on northern hemis ...

Bemisia tabaci; ammonium; fertilizer application; grafting (plants); greenhouse production; greenhouses; hydroponics; insecticides; instars; nitrates; nitrogen; nitrogen fertilizers; nutrient solutions; nymphs; pests; population density; pupae; rootstocks; tomatoes
Abstract:
... Bemisia tabaci is one of the most damaging pests in tomato greenhouse production. The resistance of B. tabaci to insecticides requires a new approach with respect to the integrated management of this pest. The effect of grafting (nongrafted and tomato grafted on the rootstock Arnold) and nitrogen (N) rates (75, 140 and 205 mg/L) on the density of B. tabaci large nymphs (fourth instar to pupae) was ...

Metaseiulus occidentalis; apples; beans; biological control; biological control agents; cultivars; fecundity; host plants; leaves; oviposition; trichomes; tritrophic interactions; Washington (state)
Abstract:
... Tritrophic interactions may alter the efficacy of biocontrol agents such as Galendromus occidentalis, the primary predator of tetranychids in Washington State apple. Apple cultivars vary in leaf pubescence, which may differentially affect the performance of G. occidentalis. The present study aimed to determine both preference and performance of G. occidentalis on pubescent and glabrous surfaces. C ...

Abstract:
... In many developing countries, commercial oil palm farming supports the livelihood of millions of small‐scale farmers in the rural areas. However, forest conversion into oil palm monocultures has a major impact on tropical biodiversity. In existing oil palm production landscapes, little is known about how different oil palm agricultural practices affect farmland biodiversity, particularly insect bi ...

Abstract:
... Cold hardiness becomes a crucial strategy because temperature change often leads to fluctuations in insect abundance. The present study investigated the relationship between cold‐tolerance ability in overwintering Chinese white pine beetle Dendroctonus armandi Tsai and Li larvae and physiological body indices aiming to determine the possible overwintering strategy from September 2013 to May 2014. ...

Abstract:
... A 2‐year study was conducted aiming to characterize the spatio‐temporal association of spotted alfalfa aphid Therioaphis maculata Buckten (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in alfalfa fields. The present study was conducted in 0.5‐, 3.1‐ and 7.3‐ha alfalfa fields and at two spatial scales. The 0.5‐ha field was divided into 10 × 10 m grid; and the 3. ...

Abstract:
... Diplodia sapinea, an important pathogen of various conifer species, was recently recorded in the northern Baltic region. The pathogen can disperse over short distances via rain or wind, whereas long range dispersal occurs via movement of contaminated plant material and seeds by humans, as well as by insects. Hylobius abietis is one of the most important forest pests over large areas of Europe. Adu ...

Abstract:
... Recent evidence has shown that a consideration of multiple drivers is important if we want to understand how ecosystem functioning will respond to global change. In the present study, we used a substitutive approach to examine how two major components of global change, warming and predator diversity, affect the top‐down control of two phytophagous insect pests. Predator assemblages were created us ...

Abstract:
... Global warming is predicted to enhance the development rate and increase the number of generations in multivoltine insects. For secondary forest pests, such as the pine bark beetle Ips sexdentatus, the resulting increase in population level could trigger more frequent outbreaks. However, this positive effect could be outweighed by a temperature‐dependent decrease in offspring quality. To test thes ...

Abstract:
... Exotic ambrosia beetles have become serious pests in ornamental tree nurseries. However, research on their biology, ecology and behaviour to develop management tactics is hampered by the lack of reliable attacks on experimental trees. Injecting Magnolia virginiana L. with ethanol consistently induced attacks by exotic ambrosia beetles to facilitate research on their biology and management. The abi ...

Abstract:
... Oil palm expansion results in a loss of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. However, there are factors that influence the severity of these impacts and enhancing biodiversity within plantations is important. In the present study, we examined the role of epiphytes for supporting arthropod communities in oil palm plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia. We considered the effects of landscape c ...
