Drosophila suzukii; adults; blackberries; blueberries; cages; canopy; field experimentation; foraging; insect behavior; invasive species; mark-recapture studies; monitoring; oviposition; raspberries; sexual maturity; trapping
Abstract:
... Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is an invasive insect that attacks ripe, small fruit such as raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Little is known about its foraging ecology and current trapping methods and monitoring systems are ineffective at commercial scales. In semi-field studies, we evaluated adult alightment and ovipositional preference within and among raspberry plants us ...

Abstract:
... Insect parasitoids are often manipulated to improve biological control programs for various arthropod pests. Volatile compounds can be a relevant cue used by most parasitoid hymenoptera for host or host microhabitat location. Here, we studied olfactory responses of the braconid Asobara japonica Belokobylskij, an Asiatic endoparasitoid of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), toward its ...

Macrosiphum rosae; adults; animals; body weight; corn; evolutionary adaptation; flight; insect behavior; leaves; morphs; walking
Abstract:
... Variations in morphological and behavioral properties of animals are generally considered as evolutionary adaptations to unpredictable environments. At the same time, individuals may present a strong consistency in their expressed behavior. In this study, we investigated inter-individual variations and consistency in walking behavior of both apterous and winged morphs of the rose aphid, Macrosiphu ...

Abstract:
... Mosquito control using different methods remains an integral component of intervention programmes which aim to protect humans from various mosquito-borne diseases. The host seeking behaviour of mosquitoes is essentially guided by odorant receptor neurons housed in the antenna, maxillary palps and proboscis. The odorant receptor neurons are responsible for detecting chemical cues from hosts and als ...

Abstract:
... Gregarious parasitic wasps, which lay more than one egg into or onto a host arthropod’s body, are usually assumed to lay an optimal number of eggs per host. If females would lay too few eggs, some resources may be wasted, but if females lay too many eggs, offspring may develop into substantially smaller-sized adults or may not develop successfully and die. The availability of hosts can further inf ...

Abstract:
... It is empirically well known that adults of both sexes of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus septentrionalis (Kôno) copulate repeatedly under laboratory conditions. However, details of the fertilization success of respective males involved in multiple mating are unknown. To determine the degree of sperm displacement in successive mating in this beetle species, we conducted a male ...

Abstract:
... The giant cicada, Quesada gigas (Olivier) (Hemiptera: Cicadidae), is an important coffee pest and information about the behavior and reproduction of this species, e.g. emergence, senescence and ovarian maturation status, can be valuable to understand giant cicada ecology and to improve the use of a sound trap as a control method. A great number of Q. gigas adult males and females was captured usin ...

Abstract:
... Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a post-harvest pest of grains, milled and processed food, processing plants, warehouses and bakeries. The parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor (Say) is among the most important natural enemies of Pyralidae infesting stored grains and grain products. Many parasitoids use semiochemicals originating from their hosts, or host’s ha ...

Abstract:
... Light intensity significantly affects insect flight behaviour. Mating of butterflies is significantly associated with flight frequency. However, no research has elucidated the effects of light intensity on butterfly flight. Thus, a clear understanding of the effects of light intensity on flight has significant theoretical implications for the cultivation and utilization of butterflies. We observed ...

Abstract:
... The behavioral response of the larval parasitoid Spintherus dubius (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) to volatile compounds derived from its Apion weevil hosts was investigated in two-choice bioassays. Odor source candidates were the larval and adult stages of weevils, clover flowers, and feces from adult weevils. Despite S. dubius being a larval parasitoid, the odor of weevil larvae isolated from the cl ...

Abstract:
... The brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Homoptera: Delphacidae) is a major pest of many rice growing countries worldwide. It has been observed that one rice field is severely infested by BPH while an adjacent field left untouched. We hypothesized that differences in nutrient content in rice plants may explain this behavior. BPH feeding and oviposition behavior was evaluated on rice ...

Abstract:
... The brown marmorated stink bug, or Halyomorpha halys, is an invasive pest in North America and Europe that causes severe agricultural damage and nuisance problems for homeowners; and it is originally from China, Taiwan, and the Republic of Korea. While the natural enemy community of H. halys has been evaluated in several agroecosystems, it has not been examined where H. halys overwinters in anthro ...
