Abstract:
... Hesperolabops nigriceps Reuter feeds on cactus plants of the genus Opuntia (Caryophyllales: Cactaceae) and might damage production of prickly pear fruit and nopalitos -- tender pads of O. ficus-indica L. (Miller) eaten as a vegetable. Despite damage caused by the insect to Opuntia plants, there are no reports on its biology, which is essential for planning management strategies. This work studied ...

Abstract:
... The cold hardiness of arthropods is an important characteristic associated with overwintering success. Cold‐tolerant stages affect overwintering strategy, especially in arthropods that continuously feed on evergreen host plants in temperate regions. However, cold hardiness to mildly low temperature is rarely investigated. In the present study, we estimate the stage‐specific cold hardiness of a pop ...

To more effectively manage walnut husk fly Rhagoletis completa (Diptera: Tephritidae), in California walnut orchards, it is important to understand the factors that affect the timing of adult emergence. In the present study, we examine the effects of incubation temperature, pre‐chill and chill durations, latitude, cultivar and size on the post‐diapause development of R. completa puparia. The lower ...

Abstract:
... Spiders are model systems for exploring proximate and ultimate questions about the evolution of vibratory signals. However, little is known of the sensory response characteristics of receivers, with one exception in Cupiennius spp. Spiders have vibration receptor organs called metatarsal organs on their legs. The organs contain aggregations of slit sensilla that respond to cuticular strain caused ...

Abstract:
... The effect of delayed female mating for the mushroom fungus gnat Lycoriella ingenua is investigated. We examine the effect of delaying female mating on the fertility and egg viability of female flies that have a mating delay of 0–5 days after emergence. Male fly age is held constant. Female age does not impact male acceptance and most flies copulate within seconds of pairing. We find that female f ...

Abstract:
... 1. Visual chromatic cues and contrast effects are widely used by insects in behaviours involving host/prey/mate‐finding and recognition. However, naturally changing light conditions may challenge the visual perception of cues for these organisms. 2. We used the host/parasitoid system Acyrthosiphon pisum/Aphidius ervi to determine if apparent visual preference of the wasp for green over pink host a ...
