Diaprepes Root Weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (Linnaeus) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
EDIS, 1998 This document provides an in-depth profile of the Diaprepes root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, a significant pest in Florida. Native to the Caribbean, it was first reported in Florida in 1964 and has since spread, causing extensive damage to citrus and

Plants use identical inhibitors to protect their cell wall pectin against microbes and insects
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 8, Page 3814-3824, April 2020., 2020 Whether polygalacturonase‐inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) play a role in defense against herbivorous beetles is unknown. Feeding assays with the leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae on Arabidopsis thaliana pgip mutants were performed. Fitness was increased when larvae were fed on mutant plants compared to wild‐type plants.

Subterranean, herbivore-induced plant volatile increases biological control activity of multiple beneficial nematode species in distinct habitats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 While the role of herbivore-induced volatiles in plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions is well documented aboveground, new evidence suggests that belowground volatile emissions can protect plants by attracting entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs ...

Iridovirus infection of cell cultures from the Diaprepes root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2003 We here report the development and viral infection of a Diaprepes root weevil cell culture. Embryonic tissues of the root weevil were used to establish cell cultures for use in screening viral pathogens as potential biological control agents.

Diaprepes in Florida citrus: Past, present, and future.
EDIS, 2023 In response to the recent resurgence of Diaprepes under a scenario where most citrus trees are infected with HLB, we have begun work to develop the needed tools and management recommendations to limit the damage it might cause.

Iridovirus in the root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2003 Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) was evaluated for mode of transmission and ability to cause infection in the root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.). This is the first evidence of IIV6 infection in D.

Metagenomic clustering reveals microbial contamination as an essential consideration in ultraconserved element design for phylogenomics with insect museum specimens. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 We investigate if genomic bacterial and laboratory contamination is introduced into ultraconserved element (UCE) probe design from five novel Coleoptera museum specimens. Our findings indicate that even very clean samples have contamination that is carried into the UCE probe design.
