- Abstract:
- ... Among the aphidophaga guild present in alfalfa [Medicago sativa L. (Fabaceae)], coccinellids forage on aphids most of the time on the foliage and carabids on the ground. The result of their combined effect can be synergistic, additive, or antagonistic, but this may depend on the prey density and interacting predatory species. In this study, we first determined, under laboratory conditions, the rel ...

- Abstract:
- ... Bois noir is an important grapevine yellows disease in Europe that can cause serious economic losses in grapevine production. It is caused by stolbur phytoplasma strains of the taxonomic group 16Sr-XII-A. Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) is the most important vector of bois noir in Europe. This polyphagous planthopper is assumed to mainly use stinging nettle [Urtica dioica L. (U ...

- Abstract:
- ... The weevil Ceratapion onopordi Kirby (Coleoptera: Apionidae) shows a mutualistic interaction with the rust fungus Puccinia punctiformis (Str.) Röhl (Pucciniaceae). One of the weevil's host plants, the thistle Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (Asteraceae), is also the host of the rust fungus. It has been argued that weevils prefer rust-infected thistle shoots for egg deposition and consequently should be ...

- Abstract:
- ... Mating speed and copulation duration respond rapidly to laboratory selection in Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae), but there is a lack of data on the evolutionary response to natural selection in the wild. Further, it is not clear whether body melanization and mating behavior are correlated traits. Accordingly, we tested whether variation in body color impacts on mating laten ...

- Abstract:
- ... Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) causes yearly losses of 1-2 million Euros to the stockfish industry in Lofoten, Norway. To develop an efficient management program, knowledge of its life cycle and phenology in production areas is needed. Cohort studies in a simulated Lofoten climate showed that field abundance peaks of adults in early spring and midsummer can be explain ...

- Abstract:
- ... The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is an important invasive citrus pest in the USA because it vectors a bacterium responsible for huanglongbing, a devastating disease of citrus. Information was lacking on seasonal aspects of flight activity by D. citri, which could have ramifications on psyllid management as well as our understanding of epidemiology of the ...

- Abstract:
- ... The behaviour of 650 female Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) was examined in a wind tunnel using odour, in combination with six artificial visual stimuli, ranging from a simple black square to a three-dimensional model of a dead mouse. The carcasses of laboratory mice were used to provide a natural odour and visual source, and a blend consisting of dimethyl trisulphide, ...

- Abstract:
- ... Diet has a profound influence on the fitness of adult tephritid flies. Mass-reared flies are provided yeast hydrolysate as a rich source of nutrition that supports rapid sexual development and mating success. In contrast, wild tephritid flies often live in environments where food may be hard to find, and these are the conditions that sexually immature mass-reared sterile males encounter when relea ...

- Abstract:
- ... The success of the current resistance management plan for transgenic maize, Zea mays L. (Poaceae), targeting the rootworm complex hinges upon high rates of mating between resistant and susceptible beetles. However, differences in the fitness of adult beetles could result in assortative mating, which could, in turn, change the rate of resistance evolution. Adult head capsule widths of naturally occ ...
