  • Personality, Habitat Selection and Territoriality Kathleen Church A
    Habitat Complexity and Behaviour: Personality, Habitat Selection and Territoriality Kathleen Church A Thesis In the Department of Biology Presented in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Biology) at Concordia University Montréal, Québec, Canada July 2018 © Kathleen Church, 2018 iii Abstract Habitat complexity and behaviour: personality, habitat selection and territoriality Kathleen Church, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2018 Structurally complex habitats support high species diversity and promote ecosystem health and stability, however anthropogenic activity is causing natural forms of complexity to rapidly diminish. At the population level, reductions in complexity negatively affect densities of territorial species, as increased visual distance increases the territory size of individuals. Individual behaviour, including aggression, activity and boldness, is also altered by complexity, due to plastic behavioural responses to complexity, habitat selection by particular personality types, or both processes occurring simultaneously. This thesis explores the behavioural effects of habitat complexity in four chapters. The first chapter, a laboratory experiment based on the ideal free distribution, observes how convict cichlids (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) trade-off the higher foraging success obtainable in open habitats with the greater safety provided in complex habitats under overt predation threat. Dominants always preferred the complex habitat, forming ideal despotic distributions, while subordinates altered their habitat use in response to predation. The second chapter also employs the ideal free distribution to assess how convict cichlids within a dominance hierarchy trade-off between food monopolization and safety in the absence of a iv predator. Dominants again formed ideal despotic distributions in the complex habitat, while dominants with lower energetic states more strongly preferred the complex habitat.

  • CYANTRANILIPROLE (263) the First Draft Was Prepared by Mr. David Lunn New Zealand Food Safety Authority, Wellington, New Zealand
    Cyantraniliprole 361 CYANTRANILIPROLE (263) The first draft was prepared by Mr. David Lunn New Zealand Food Safety Authority, Wellington, New Zealand EXPLANATION Cyantraniliprole is a diamide insecticide with a mode of action (ryanodine receptor activation) similar to chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide. It has root systemic activity with some translaminar movement and is effective against the larval stages of lepidopteran insects; and also on thrips, aphids, and some other chewing and sucking insects. Authorisations exist for the use of cyantraniliprole in Canada, Columbia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Vietnam and the CLISS countries in West Africa. Authorisations are also being progressed in Australia, Europe and USA under an OECD Joint Review exercise. Cyantraniliprole was scheduled by the Forty-fourth Session of the CCPR as a new compound for consideration by the 2013 JMPR. Residue and analytical aspects of cyantraniliprole were considered for the first time by the present meeting. The manufacturer submitted studies on metabolism, analytical methods, supervised field trials, processing, freezer storage stability, environmental fate in soil and rotational crop residues. In this evaluation, the values presented in the tables are as reported in the various studies, but in the accompanying text, they have generally been rounded to two significant digits. Abbreviations have also been used for the various cyantraniliprole metabolites mentioned in the study reports. These include: IN-F6L99 3-Bromo-N-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide IN-HGW87

  • Effects of Cyantraniliprole, a Novel Anthranilic Diamide Insecticide, Against Asian Citrus Psyllid Under Laboratory and Field Co

Please cite this article as doi: 10.1002/ps.3468. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry Abstract BACKGROUND:The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is the most destructive pest of citrus in Florida. The development of insecticide resistance in several populations of D. citrihas been documented. There is an urgent need to develop and integrate novel tools for the successful management of D. citri and also to prevent the development of insecticide resistance. RESULTS:We investigated the effects of a relatively newer chemistry, cyantraniliprole, against D. citri. The contact toxicity of cyantraniliprole was 297 fold higher against D. citrithan its primary parasitoid,Tamarixia radiata(Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). D. citrisettled and fed less on cyantraniliprole-treated plants than controls at concentrations as low as 0.025 and 0.125 µg AI mL-1, respectively. D. citri egg production, first instar emergence and adult emergence were significantly reduced on plants treated with 0.25, 0.02 and 0.25 µg AI mL-1of cyantraniliprole, respectively, when compared with control plants.

Resumo Os fungos entomopatogénicos têm-se revelado uma alternativa promissora aos produtos químicos usados na luta contra pragas. Apesar do grande esforço empreendido na sua utilização, o seu efeito num grande número de pragas é ainda desconhecida. O bichado da castanha, Cydia splendana L., é a principal praga do castanheiro no norte de Portugal, causando prejuízos consideráveis. A utilização de meios de luta químicos apresenta limitações devido, por um lado, ao número reduzido de substâncias homologadas, e por outro porque a utilização de pesticidas de síntese não se coaduna com o modo de produção sustentável em que os soutos são conduzidos na região. Adicionalmente os meios de luta culturais e biotécnicos têm-se revelado de difícil implementação e de eficácia reduzida. Com o presente trabalho pretendeu-se avaliar a susceptibilidade de C. splendana ao fungo entomopatogénico Beauveria bassiana. Testou-se o efeito de quatro isolados (A39GF09; A67GF09; LC39GF10 e PA95GF10) da colecção do IPB, obtidos de larvas do lepidóptero Prays oleae recolhidos na região de Trás-os- Montes. Para tal em laboratório, foram inoculadas larvas de C. splendana, pelo método de superfície, com seis concentrações de conídios (1 x 105; 1 x 106; 5 x 106; 1 x 107; 5 x 107; 1 x 108).

We established a chemical-tolerant population via continuous exposure to pirimicarb, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, and examined the effects of pirimicarb concentration on the intrinsic growth rates (r) of tolerant cladocerans. We also explored the association between r and feeding rate and tested the involvement of antioxidant enzymes [peroxidase (PO) and superoxide dismutase] and AChE in pirimicarb sensitivity. S. kingi was continuously exposed to sublethal pirimicarb concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 µg/L) for 15 generations and changes (half maximal effective concentration at 48 h, 48 h-EC50) in chemical sensitivity were investigated. In the F14 generation, the sensitivity of the 10 µg/L group was three times lower than that of the control group, suggesting the acquisition of chemical tolerance. Moreover, r was signicantly and negatively correlated with 48 h-EC50, suggesting a tness cost for tolerance.
