Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from Guizhou province

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete mitochondrial genome of the maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais (GenBank accession number: MN905575) from Guizhou Province consists of a circular DNA molecule of 18,421 bp (with 75.69% A + T content), which is longer by 316 bp than that of the ...

Host desiccation and interspecific competition limit reproductive performance of a bark beetle

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
At high and moderate phloem moisture levels, Polygraphus proximus reproductive success was suppressed by sympatric species density. At low phloem moisture, P. proximus reproductive success was suppressed by the low phloem moisture regardless of the Cryphalus laricis hole density. Conspecific density (i.e., attack density of P.

Provisioning patterns and choice of prey in the digger wasp Cerceris arenaria (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae): the role of prey size

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
At a nest site in Northern Italy of females of the weevil-hunting digger wasp Cerceris arenaria L. (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) the provisioning activity and predator-prey relationship were investigated, in particular their specialization in choice of prey.

From glacial echoes to timber pathways: Climatic–historical drivers and timber‐trade influence on the phylogeography of Ips sexdentatus in the Basque Country

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...

Morphological separation of Tomicus piniperda and T. destruens (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae): new and old characters

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Tomicus piniperda and T. destruens are sibling species which are extremely difficult to separate by morphological characters. Although several papers report differences between the two species, many characters need confirmation or better description ...

Where are they now? Establishment and impact reports of bark beetle biocontrol agents with a case study of introduced parasitoids from Southeast Queensland, Australia

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Twenty‐four bark beetle biocontrol programmes involving 41 natural enemy introductions are reported globally. A total of 36.6% of agents were established and 9.8% were reported effective, while many agent establishments and impacts often remained unassessed and incomparable across regions.

Activity of endo-polygalacturonases in mirid bugs (Heteroptera: Miridae) and their inhibition by plant cell wall proteins (PGIPs)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Endo-polygalacturonases (PGs) are hydrolytic enzymes involved in the degradation of pectin, one of the major components of plant cell wall. While PGs from fungi, bacteria and plants have been extensively studied, PGs from insects are much less known ...

Comparing verbenone‐based repellents for ambrosia beetle management in eastern apple orchards

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Non‐native ambrosia beetles (Xylosandrus germanus, X. crassiusculus, Anisandrus maiche) damage high‐density apple orchards across the eastern United States, motivating the search for selective, semiochemical‐based repellent strategies. Across Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, three verbenone formulations, sachets, SPLAT® VERB and a test SPLAT ...
