Abstract:
... Purple locoweed, Astragalus mollissimus Torrey, a native rangeland weed, is considered one of the most destructive weeds in the western United States. The chemical swainsonine, a secondary plant compound found in A. mollissimus, causes physiological and morphological abnormalities in domestic cattle, sheep, and horses. In 1991, Cleonidius trivittatus (Say), a weevil native to North America, was fo ...

Abstract:
... Grasshopper and plant community relationships in southern Idaho were examined within a life-history context. Plant species composition (by weight) and density and species composition of grasshoppers were estimated at 52 sites in south-central Idaho, representing a range of plant communities from native sagebrush-bunchgrass to exotic annual grasslands. The plant community at each site was evaluated ...

Abstract:
... Three leaf-color variants of Coleus blumei 'Bellevue' (Bentham) were studied to determine the effects of variegation-induced changes in host-plant quality on life history and population growth of citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso). Compared with green counterparts, both red- and yellow-variegated plants of C. blumei grew more slowly, had lower rates of photosynthesis, and produced more lea ...

Life-history parameters of Mononychellus progresivus Doreste and Oligonychus gossypii (Zacher), 2 major mite pests of cassava in Africa, were determined in the laboratory at 3 constant relative humidities (30, 60, and 90% RH) obtained with saturated salt solutions. Experiments were carried out in airtight boxes placed in an air-conditioned room at 26 +/- 1 degrees C and a photoperiod of 12:12 (L:D ...

Abstract:
... Life history of immature Lyctocoris campestris (F.), a predator of stored-product insects, was investigated at 17, 21, 25, and 29 degrees C and approximately 43, approximately 58, and approximately 75% RH in the laboratory. Most life history traits of L. campestris were influenced by temperature, but none of the traits was influenced by relative humidity. The egg incubation period was approximatel ...

Abstract:
... Female and male Amblyseius longispinosus (Evans) and A. womersleyi (Schicha) were reared in an incubator at 28 degrees C and a photoperiod of 13:11 (L:D) h. They were supplied with eggs of Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida for food. A. longispinosus matured in 5.02 and 5.0 d, and consumed 13.84 and 11.2 spider mites eggs, respectively A. womersleyi matured in 4.92 and 4.67 d, and consumed 15.32 and 11. ...

Life-history characteristics of four populations of Coccinella septempunctata L. were quantified and compared at 26 degrees C and 18:6 (L:D) h on a diet of pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris). Populations were from two locations in the United States (Iowa and Delaware) and two locations in Eurasia (France and Ukraine/Moldavia/Crimea). Large intrapopulation variation was observed in preoviposi ...

Abstract:
... The host-alternating life cycle of Myzus lythri, an aphid of European origin that feeds on purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), is detailed. The complex life cycle and low availability of primary host plants are hypothesized as limiting early-season development of aphid populations on purple loosestrife. Experiments were undertaken in 1993 to determine if large populations of this aphid could i ...
