ANALYSIS OF VARIATIONS IN SUSCEPTIBILITY AND TRANSCRIPTOME RESPONSES IN TOMATO TO TWO-SPOTTED SPIDER MITE FEEDING [PDF]

, 2011
The two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a pest of tomatoes (Solarium lycopersicum) worldwide. The aim of this study was to generate data for comparison of spider mite resistant and susceptible tomato cultivar transcriptiome responses to

Competition for food affects the strength of reproductive interference and its consequences for species coexistence

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Competition for food and reproductive interference (negative interspecific sexual interactions) have been identified as major drivers of species exclusion. Still, how these biotic interactions jointly determine competitive dominance remains largely unknown.

Spider mite on walnuts: Promising results obtained with three miticides tested in control experiments in infested walnut orchard at San Jose

California Agriculture, 1957
The most destructive species of spider mites—found in localities where experimental investigations were conducted in 1956—was the European red mite. Infestations of the Pacific spider mite and the two-spotted spider mite were limited and noneconomic.

Mythogeographies of anthropological knowledge: writing over the lines and footsteps of history in Southwest China

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In this article, I delve into the field diary of Ma Changshou – a major Chinese ethnohistorian and social anthropologist active between the 1930s and 1960s – to show how his journeys through Liangshan, a mountainous land in Southwest China inhabited by the Nuosu‐Yi, led to a new kind of anthropological knowledge.

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 ...

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

Does behaviour matter? The role and feasibility of research into arthropod behavioural syndromes to inform invertebrate translocation efforts

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Animal personality plays a key role in translocation success in both wild‐to‐wild and captive‐to‐wild translocations, with important implications for the success of conservation projects. However, the majority of studies so far have explored the link between personality and translocation success in vertebrate translocations, and there has been less ...

Effect of drive row ground covers on hop (Rosales: Cannabaceae) yard arthropod pests in Vermont, USA [PDF]

, 2017
Alternatives to pesticides are necessary for the management of hop (Humulus lupulus L.) arthropod pests. The three major arthropod pests in northeastern US hop production include two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, hop aphid Phorodon ...

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.
