Subject:
Nilaparvata lugens; acclimation; adults; cold; cold tolerance; coma; females; heat; heat tolerance; males; nymphs; rearing; temperature
Abstract:
... The influence of acclimation on the cold and heat tolerance of Nilaparvata lugens was determined by measurements of the critical thermal minimum and maximum (CTₘᵢₙ and CTₘₐₓ), chill and heat coma temperature (CCT and HCT) and lower and upper lethal temperature (LLT₅₀ and ULT₅₀). First‐instar nymphs were acclimated for 5 days at 15 °C and for 2 days at 30 °C and compared with a population maintaine ...

Subject:
Hylobius abietis; adults; air; air temperature; chemical control; climate; climate change; climate models; conifers; economic impact; geographical variation; microhabitats; pest management; simulation models; trees; United Kingdom
Abstract:
... Hylobius abietis develop in conifer root‐stumps and emerging adults attack replanted trees. Development is largely semi‐voltine and this is an important determinant of economic impact, influencing the length of a fallow period or the frequency of chemical control. A simulation model followed a generation of weevils through the life cycle to predict voltinism based on temperature in the root‐stump ...

Abstract:
... Field and laboratory studies were performed to determine the phenology of flight activity and the thermal requirements for adult emergence of Sirex noctilio. Degree‐day (DD) accumulation from egg to adult was measured in bolts of Pinus sylvestris infested with eggs from laboratory‐reared adults. Adult emergence was similarly monitored in bolts from trees that were naturally infested in the field b ...

Abstract:
... The red clover casebearer Coleophora deauratella Leinig and Zeller is an invasive pest of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) grown for seed production in Canada. Drastic yield losses (80–99.5%) have been reported in several growing regions over the last 30 years as a result of larval feeding damage. Field trials conducted in red clover seed production fields in Alberta, Canada, during the summers ...

Abstract:
... The new world screwworm [Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel)] was eradicated in North America, Libya and other locations using the sterile insect technique (SIT). To examine the role of weather in its eradication, a physiologically‐based demographic model was developed and used to characterize its range of year‐round persistence. Published data on developmental times, fecundity and mortality rates ...

Abstract:
... In a single stand, the colonization of 128 girdled Scots pine trees (Pinus sylvestris L.) by bark‐ and wood‐boring beetles was examined during two vegetation periods after treatment. The trees were girdled on four different dates in April, July, October and January. The time elapsed from girdling to the first attack of bark‐ and wood‐boring beetles was 1–19 months (mean = 10.7) and differed signif ...

Abstract:
... Temperature is probably the most important driver of insect response to climate change and has many implications at both individual and population levels. The present study explored how elevation, as a proxy for temperature, affects the abundance and diversity of bark and wood‐boring beetles associated with Norway spruce (Picea abies) along its southern range. We selected three elevational gradien ...

Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer) (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae), the pinewood nematode and the causal agent of the pine wilt disease, is a globally important invasive pathogen of pine forests. It is phoretic in woodborer beetles of the genus Monochamus (Megerle) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) and has been able to exploit novel indigenous species of Monochamus (but only Monochamus) in newly‐ ...

Abstract:
... Pollinating insects provide crucial and economically important ecosystem services to crops and wild plants, but pollinators, particularly bees, are globally declining as a result of various driving factors, including the prevalent use of pesticides for crop protection. Sublethal pesticide exposure negatively impacts numerous pollinator life‐history traits, but its influence on reproductive success ...
