  • Genetics of Foraging Behavior of the Predatory Mite, Phytoseiulus Persimilis
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by K-State Research Exchange GENETICS OF FORAGING BEHAVIOR OF THE PREDATORY MITE, PHYTOSEIULUS PERSIMILIS by BHANU S. KONAKANDLA B.S., Angrau, India, 1999 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Entomology College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2006 Approved by: Major Professor David C. Margolies Co-Major Professor Yoonseong Park ABSTRACT Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is a specialist predator on tetranychid mites, especially on the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). The foraging environment of the predatory mites consists of prey colonies distributed in patches within and among plants. Quantitative genetic studies have shown genetic variation in, and phenotypic correlations among, several foraging behaviors within populations of the predatory mite, P. persimilis. The correlations between patch location, patch residence, consumption and oviposition imply possible fitness trade-offs. We used molecular techniques to investigate genetic variation underlying the foraging behaviors. However, these genetic studies require a sufficiently large amount of DNA which was a limiting factor in our studies. Therefore, we developed a method for obtaining DNA from a single mite by using a chelex extraction followed by whole genome amplification. Whole genome amplification from a single mite provided us with a large quantity of high-quality DNA. We obtained more than a ten thousand-fold amplified DNA from a single mite using 0.01ng as template DNA. Sequence polymorphisms of P. persimilis were analyzed for nuclear DNA Inter Transcribed Spacers (ITS1 & ITS2) and for a mitochondrial12S rRNA.

  • Whiteflies in the Greenhouse Jen White
    Entfact-456 Whiteflies in the greenhouse Jen White General Biology Worldwide, there are over 1500 Whiteflies are “true bugs” (Hemiptera) species of whitefly, most of which are that feed on plant sap, much like aphids. inconspicuous and never reach densities Adults are very small (1/16 - 1/10 inch) high enough to cause damage to their host with powdery white wings. Females lay plants. A few species, however, are major eggs directly on the undersides of plant pests. Here in Kentucky, the most notable leaves. The eggs hatch into tiny are 1) the sweetpotato whitefly (Bemisia “crawlers” that walk a short distance before settling at a tabaci), and 2) the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes feeding location. These nymphs lose their ability walk, and vaporarorium). The former is a confusing complex of remain in the same location for the rest of their development “biotypes” (currently considered multiple species) that are until they pupate and emerge as winged adults (Figure 1). The physically indistinguishable, but which have distinct biological entire whitefly life cycle takes about 3 weeks under favorable differences. For example, B biotype is also sometimes known as conditions, allowing populations to build quickly. Whiteflies do the silverleaf whitefly (also known as Bemisia argentifolii) not have a dormant stage that can withstand freezing because of the distinctive silvering damage it inflicts on plant temperatures. In climates that have winter freezes, such as leaves. B biotype is currently the most common in North Kentucky, whiteflies are year-round pests only in greenhouses. America, but a second biotype, Q biotype, is also present, and of particular concern because Q biotype is highly resistant to many classes of insecticide.

  • Life History of the Honey Bee Tracheal Mite (Acari: Tarsonemidae)
    ARTHROPOD BIOLOGY Life History of the Honey Bee Tracheal Mite (Acari: Tarsonemidae) JEFFERY S. PETTIS1 AND WILLIAM T. WILSON Honey Bee Research Unit, USDA-ARS, 2413 East Highway 83, Weslaco, TX 78596 Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 89(3): 368-374 (1996) ABSTRACT Data on the seasonal reproductive patterns of the honey bee tracheal mite, Acarapis woodi (Rennie), were obtained by dissecting host honey bees, Apis mellifera L., at intervals during their life span. Mite reproduction normally was limited to 1 complete gen- eration per host bee, regardless of host life span. However, limited egg laying by foundress progeny was observed. Longer lived bees in the fall and winter harbored mites that reproduced for a longer period than did mites in bees during spring and summer. Oviposition rate was relatively uniform at =0.85 eggs per female per day during the initial 16 d of adult bee life regardless of season. In all seasons, peak mite populations occurred in bees =24 d old, with egg laying declining rapidly beyond day 24 in spring and summer bees but more slowly in fall and winter bees. Stadial lengths of eggs and male and female larvae were 5, 4, and 5 d, respectively. Sex ratio ranged from 1.15:1 to 2.01:1, female bias, but because males are not known to migrate they would have been overestimated in the sampling scheme. Fecundity was estimated to be =21 offspring, assuming daughter mites laid limited eggs in tracheae before dispersal. Mortality of adult mites increased with host age; an estimate of 35 d for female mite longevity was indirectly obtained.

Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks, 1904) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is among the main species of predatory mites used for this purpose. Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836 (Acari: Tetranychidae) is considered to be one of the most important species of mite pests and has been described as attacking over 1,100 species of plants in 140 families with economic value. The objective of the present study was to investigate, in the laboratory, the reproductive parameters of the predatory mite P. macropilis when fed T. urticae. Experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions at 25 ± 2 °C of temperature, 70 ± 10% RH and 14 hours of photophase. In addition, biological aspects were evaluated and a fertility life table was established. The results of these experiments demonstrated that the longevity of adult female was 27.5 days and adult male was 29.0 days.

Heteroptera, Miridae, Mirinae, Mirini, checklist, key, new species, new record, Korean Peninsula Abstract. An annotated checklist of the tribe Mirini (Miridae: Mirinae) recorded on the Korean peninsula is presented. A total of 113 species, including newly described and newly recorded species are recognized. Three new species, Apolygus hwasoonanus Oh, Yasunaga & Lee, sp. n., A. seonheulensis Oh, Yasunaga & Lee, sp. n. and Stenotus penniseticola Oh, Yasunaga & Lee, sp. n., are described. Eight species, Apolygus adustus (Jakovlev, 1876), Charagochilus (Charagochilus) longicornis Reuter, 1885, C. (C.) pallidicollis Zheng, 1990, Pinalitopsis rhodopotnia Yasunaga, Schwartz & Chérot, 2002, Philostephanus tibialis (Lu & Zheng, 1998), Rhabdomiris striatellus (Fabricius, 1794), Yamatolygus insulanus Yasunaga, 1992 and Y. pilosus Yasunaga, 1992 are re- ported for the fi rst time from the Korean peninsula.

  • Common Greenhouse Insects and Mites Identification and Management the List of Common Greenhouse Insects and Mites in Colorado Is a Fairly Short One
    Common Greenhouse Insects and Mites Identification and Management The list of common greenhouse insects and mites in Colorado is a fairly short one: • Aphids (several species) • Whiteflies (one species) • Thrips (two common species) • Twpspotted spider mite • Fungus gnats • Tomato/potato psyllid Aphids Hemiptera: Aphididae Primary aphid species found in greenhouses Green peach aphid Cotton-melon aphid Potato aphid Body plan of a typical, wingless aphid All aphids go through three feeding stages, each punctuated with a molting event “Cast skins”, the discarded remnants of the exoskeleton after molting Diagnostic: “Cast Skins” remain after aphids molt Live birth and asexual reproduction are the norm with aphids Aphid populations can increase rapidly Adults may be winged or wingless Wing pads of late stage aphid nymph Adults may be winged or wingless Piercing-sucking mouthparts of Hemiptera (aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, leafhoppers, etc.) Probocis (primarily the labium) of an aphid Stylet bundle (mandibles and maxillae) meandering through plant en route to phloem Aphids use their mouthparts to access the fluids of the phloem Little, if any, cell injury is produced by most aphids Important Note: Presence of aphids does not always equate to occurrence of plant injury! Honeydew production Uptake of phloem fluids here Emergence of “honeydew” here Leaf with sparkles of honeydew – and cast skins The leaf above the honeydew – an aphid colony Leaf with sparkles of honeydew – and cast skins Some non-aphid honeydew producing insects Whiteflies Mealybugs
