Phenological Attributes and Phylogenetic Relationships of \u3ci\u3eRhagoletis Juniperina\u3c/i\u3e Marcovitch (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the Great Lakes Region [PDF]

, 2018
Rhagoletis juniperina Marcovitch (Diptera: Tephritidae) infests Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) and other North American junipers. While several Rhagoletis species are of interest as orchard crop pests (apple maggot, blueberry maggot, cherry ...

Relationship Between the Host Plant Range of Insects and Symbiont Bacteria

Microorganisms
The evolution of phytophagous insects has resulted in the development of feeding specializations that are unique to this group. The majority of current research on insect palatability has concentrated on aspects of ecology and biology, with relatively ...

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Ecological population dynamics, host preferences, and associated parasitoids of Bactrocera carambolae and Bactrocera papayae on fruits [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fruit flies are a significant pest affecting fruit production in Indonesia. Understanding the species of fruit flies in fruit-growing regions is crucial for evaluating pest risk, establishing effective plant quarantine measures,

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control [PDF]

, 2015
The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

Photoperiod‐Regulated Thermal Tolerance of the Non‐Diapausing Insect Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Developmental photoperiodic exposure (photoacclimation) from egg to adult emergence alters thermal tolerance in Ceratitis capitata. Flies reared under contrasting photoperiods (0:24, 8:16, 14:10, and 24:0 L:D) showed significant shifts in both CTmin and CTmax, whereas adult‐only photoacclimation affected CTmax but not CTmin.
