1. Preferred technique for adult sex determination of the boll weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Author:
Sappington, T.W.; Spurgeon, D.W.

Annals of the Entomological Society of America 2000 v.93 no.3 pp. 610-615

Subject:
Anthonomus grandis; adults; anatomy and morphology; sex determination; methodology
Abstract:
... Determining the sex of boll weevil adults is complicated by the lack of a discreet, gender-specific, externally visible character. However, the posterior edge of the male's 8th tergite is distinctively notched and can be revealed by gentle probing. Although completely accurate as originally described 35 yr ago, this method has not gained wide acceptance because of the perception that it is too slo ...

Abstract:
... Occurrence of Anthocoris tomentosus Péricart, A. antevolens White, A. whitei Reuter, and Deraeocoris brevis (Uhler) in non-orchard habitats is described for areas adjacent to the pear growing regions of Yakima, WA. The four species were found on a number of tree and shrub species, especially willow, cottonwood, oak, alder, aspen, poplar, and bitterbrush. The four predators differed in degree of s ...

Abstract:
... To monitor aphid parasitism by Aphelinus hordei (Kurdjumov) and Aphidius colemani Viereck, we developed specific ribosomal DNA markers to distinguish them from several other cereal aphid parasitoid species and two important host species, the Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), and the greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani). Ribosomal DNA sequences for the internal transcribed spacer ...

4. Effect of diet and mating status on ovarian development in a predaceous stink bug Perillus bioculatus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Abstract:
... A method is presented to quantitatively score the degree of ovarian maturation in a predacious pentatomid with asynchronous follicle development. The effects of artificial diet and mating status on ovarian maturation rates were examined. Ovarian scores were not influenced by mating status but were significantly lower in females fed the artificial diet. Ovarian follicles start forming when females ...

Abstract:
... Females of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), show a strong mating preference for males that have fed previously on methyl eugenol, a compound occurring naturally in various plant families. The current study compared fecundity and fertility (proportion of eggs hatching) of individual females mated to methyl eugenol-deprived males (control) or methyl eugenol-fed males (treated). ...

Abstract:
... The hive beetle Aethina tumida Murray is a new pest of honey bee colonies in North America. Specimens of A. tumida were collected throughout its current range in the southeastern United States, and from several sites in South Africa. A 1018-bp section of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene was amplified and sequenced in 26 beetles collected from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Nort ...

Abstract:
... We found evidence of a symbiotic relationship between Fusarium solani (Martius) and Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari). Females of H. hampei colonizing coffee beans infested with F. solani produced significantly more progeny than those colonizing sterile beans. Beans infested by F. solani had significant amounts of ergosterol, which was not present in sterile beans. Fecundity and survival of H. hampei ...
