1. Time and the Number of Herbivore Species: The Pests of Sugarcane

Author:

Subject:
Saccharum officinarum; arthropod pests; cultivation area; data analysis; habitats; herbivores; host range; hosts; immigration; models; parasites; regression analysis; species diversity; sugarcane
Abstract:
... Previous analyses have established that host species range in the most important determinant of plant— and animal—associated parasite species richness, and that the age of a host species within a region is, at most, much less important in determining this richness. However, these previous analyses were not able to completely rule out age as a cause, because the available host age estimations were ...

Abstract:
... The influence of four temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 29 C) on the growth of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) seedlings, initially infested with 10 alfalfa bud mites (Eriophyes medicaginis Keifer) per seedling, was studied. Mite infestation caused significant reductions in dry weight of leaves and stems, petiole length, and leaf area of the seedlings at all temperatures. Dry weight reductions of infested ...

Abstract:
... A survey of six Ellis county Kansas wheat (Triticum aestiuum L. em.

Early maturing cultivars tended to escape infestation in cultivar yield trials at Hays, Kans. in 1979. However, ‘Centurk’, ‘Centurk 78’, ‘Rocky’, and ‘Parker’ cultivars had ...

These practices predict first appearance, rate of development, and abundance of pest and beneficial arthropods, which leads to recommendation of selective properly-timed pesticides as the sole ...

Abstract:
... Agents for biological control of arthropod pests have generally come from the trophic level above the pest (predators, parasites, diseases) rather than from the same trophic level (competitors). The rationale behind this approach is twofold. First, interspecific competition among herbivorous arthropods is thought to be weak; populations are kept at low levels through the action of natural enemies. ...

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:
... Sampling protocols for pest management programs often rely on phenology models to predict the time of occurrence of the stage to be sampled. In some cases it may not be possible or practical to predict occurrence with sufficient accuracy to ensure the reliability of a sampling protocol based on a single sampling session. We describe a sequential classification procedure that is useful for such sit ...

Abstract:
... Halotydeus destructor feeding on subterranean clover cotyledons can cause severe damage. The mites live on the soil surface and move up onto plants to feed. Foraging behaviour consists of palpating, probing, and feeding with frequent transitions between them. Sustained feeding is made up of a series of short (1-2 min) feeds separated by periods of palpating. The mites tend to feed in aggregations, ...

Plants protect themselves from arthropod herbivores both directly, by expressing biochemical and morphological traits that interfere with herbivore development or behavior, and indirectly, by facilitating the action of natural enemies of herbivores. These direct and indirect resistance mechanisms are not always expressed at maximal levels by plants, but rather can be induced to higher levels by a ...
