1. Análisis filogenético del subgénero Phyllophaga (Triodonyx) (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae: Melolonthinae)

Author:

Revista mexicana de biodiversidad 2013 v.84 no.3 pp. 802-817
ISSN:
1870-3453
Subject:
Phyllophaga; adults; female genitalia; males; phylogeny
Abstract:
... A phylogenetic study of the subgenus Phyllophaga (Triodonyx) based on external morphology and male and female genitalia characters of adult specimens is presented. The cladistic analysis included 48 taxa of Melolonthinae and 140 morphological characters. Three equally parsimonious trees were obtained. The results allowed to conclude that the 5 species traditionally included in the subgenus Triodon ...

Beauveria; Metarhizium anisopliae; Phyllophaga; agricultural soils; corn; crops; entomopathogenic fungi; genetic variation; genotyping; larvae; microsatellite repeats; mortality; pests; population structure; surveys; Mexico
Abstract:
... White grub larvae are important soil-dwelling pests in many regions of Mexico as they attack many important crops such as maize. The use of synthetic chemicals is currently the main control strategy, but they are not always effective; thus, other alternatives are needed. Microbial control using entomopathogenic fungi represents an important alternative strategy, and species within the genera Beauv ...

Metarhizium anisopliae; Phyllophaga; adults; bioassays; genetic variation; larvae; mortality; pathogenicity; pest control; pests; soybeans; Brazil
Abstract:
... Phyllophaga capillata (Blanchard) was recently described as a soybean pest in Brazil. The occurrence of Metarhizium spp. associated with adults and their pathogenicity were investigated. Natural prevalence of Metarhizium anisopliae was 0.51% in adults collected by light trap. Most Metarhizium isolates were identified as Metarhizium robertsii, although M. anisopliae sensu stricto and a few unidenti ...

Abstract:
... Fifty-nine sweetpotato cultivars, including 16 heirlooms, 11 near-heirlooms (developed in the 1960s and 1970s), 19 cultivars from the 1980s, and 13 modern varieties (since 1990), were evaluated for resistance to soil insects in field experiments during 2010–2011 at the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agriculture Research Service, U.S. Vegetable Laboratory (USDA-ARS, USVL), Charleston, SC. These exp ...
