Abstract:
... Antilochus coquebertii is one of the most important predators of Dysdercus koenigii. The present study examines for the first time the fitness (using age-stage and two-sex life table parameters), morphometrics and predating potential of A. coquebertii fed on the second instar of D. koenigii under laboratory conditions. Results indicate that female adults of A. coquebertii consumed significantly hi ...

However, the effects of high temperatures on the survival, fecundity, and feeding behavior of these two aphid adults are not clear. This study examined the effect of different temperatures (29 °C, 32 °C, and 35 °C ...

Our purpose is to determine whether extremely low concentrations of imidacloprid (2–8 ppb) typically found in field soil 1–3 yr after a crop is grown using seed with a standard imidacloprid seed-coating could impact the fitness of whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Results of our experiments indicate that imidacloprid-resistant whitefly larvae feeding on cotton seedling ...

A simple and inexpensive method that uses freshly excised green bolls (~10 d old) of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is developed for laboratory rearing of pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders). The adult females of pink bollworm preferred to lay eggs on the bracts and sometimes also on the rind of bolls, either singly or in a group of 2–3 eggs. The larvae fed and pupated within the bo ...

Abstract:
... Apolygus lucorum (Heteroptera: Miridae), an important herbivore feeding on a broad range of cultivated and wild plants, always shows a strong preference for flowering host plants. In a prior study, we found A. lucorum fecundity to be higher on flowering plants than on plants still at the vegetative stage. This led us to hypothesize that ovarian development and vitellogenin (Vg) expression in A. lu ...

Abstract:
... Mutualistic plant–endophyte symbioses can benefit plants by increasing host fitness through reductions in herbivory. The fungus, Chaetomium globosum strain TAMU 520, was previously isolated as an endophyte from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and can be re-inoculated to systemically colonize cotton plants via seed treatment. We evaluated the potential impacts of the endophyte in cotton on plant parasi ...
