  • Changes of Cuticular Structures of Ischnodemus Caspius (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Blissidae) from the Fifth Instar to the Adult
    © Entomologica Fennica. 5 December 2007 Changes of cuticular structures of Ischnodemus caspius (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Blissidae) from the fifth instar to the adult Huai-jun Xue and Wen-jun Bu Xue, H. & Bu, W. 2007: Changes of cuticular structures of Ischnodemus caspius (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Blissidae) from the fifth instar to the adult. — Ento- mol. Fennica 18: 218–225. The fine cuticular structures of adult and 5th instar nymph of Ischnodemus caspius Jakovlev 1871 (Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Blissidae) are described, com- pared and illustrated using 32 SEM photos. The cuticular structures of I. caspius go through great changes during the metamorphosis from the 5th-instar nymph to the adult. The cuticular morphology of the nymph is much more complicated than that of the adult, especially the abdomen, but the long hairs on body of nymph are much more sparse and simple than those of the adult. This study will stimulate further investigations on the development and systematics of Blissidae.

  • Presenter Bios
    A closer look at our presenters Mark Barrett is currently a Wildlife Biologist at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge in Boynton Beach, Florida. In 2004, he received a Ph.D. in ecology from the University of South Florida in Tampa. His professional interests include plant-animal interactions, community ecology, biodiversity and conservation, and invasive exotic management. Christine Bennett has a BS in Entomology from the University of Florida. Christine has worked for the University of Florida, Department of Entomology at the Florida Biological Control laboratory,Gainesville, from 1973 until the present on biological control of invasive plants. She worked with Dr. G. Buckingham, now retired USDA-ARS, on biological control agents of water hyacinths, hydrilla and Eurasian water milfoil. She is presently working with Dr. Bob Pemberton, USDA-ARS, Ft. Lauderdale, on biological control of Old World Climbing Fern with insects from Australia and Thailand. Scott Blackwood is a postdoctoral research associate at the USDA-ARS Invasive Plant Research Laboratory in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He has a B.S. in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Entomology from Oregon State University. His graduate and postdoctoral research has involved behavioral ecology, population modeling, acarology, ecological education and biological control. During his graduate studies, Scott was awarded the Ernst Mach Stipendium and spent a half year conducting part of his dissertation research at the Universität für Bodenkultur in Vienna, Austria, and serving as a TA at the Free University of Bolzano in Bolzano, Italy. Following completion of his Ph.D., he spent 15 months as an adjunct teaching and research faculty member at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon before joining ARS in March of 2005.

As a consequence, I have decided to nominate him for the ESA SEB Recognition Award in IPM and believe he is deserving of your strongest consideration. Jim has developed an internationally recognized program in biocontrol of invasive weeds and has become a globally recognized authority in identifying and evaluating potential biocontrol agents of invasive weeds. He has made significant contributions to the successful management of important invasive weed species in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. He also has made important discoveries in understanding the attributes of successful introduction of exotic biocontrol agents in a manner that successfully mitigates the invasion without disruption of native species. Information from this work has been critical to the management of important invasive plant species such as the tropical soda apple.

  • Hemiptera: Blissidae), a Herbivore of West Indian Marsh Grass
    PHYSIOLOGICAL,BIOCHEMISTRY, AND TOXICOLOGY Temperature-Dependent Development, Survival, and Potential Distribution of Ischnodemus variegatus (Hemiptera: Blissidae), a Herbivore of West Indian Marsh Grass 1,2 1 3 4 5 RODRIGO DIAZ, WILLIAM A. OVERHOLT, J. P. CUDA, PAUL D. PRATT, AND ALISON FOX Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 101(3): 604Ð612 (2008) ABSTRACT The bug Ischnodemus variegatus (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Blissidae) is an adventive herbivore, native to South America that feeds in the invasive grass Hymenachne amplexicaulis (Rudge) Nees (Poaceae). This grass is a problematic weed in Florida and Australia, but it is a highly valued forage in Mexico, Cuba, and Venezuela. We studied the inßuence of nine constant temperatures (8Ð38ЊC) on the developmental time and survival of I. variegatus. Complete egg and nymphal mortality occurred at temperatures Յ20.5ЊC and at 38ЊC. Developmental time decreased linearly with tem- perature until 28Ð30ЊC and then increased at 33ЊC. Mortality of Þrst, second, and third instars was high across all temperatures. Developmental time across all temperatures was greatest for eggs, Þrst and Þfth instars compared with other stages. Linear and Brie`re-1 nonlinear models were used to determine the lower temperature threshold at which the developmental rate (1/D) approached zero. The lower thresholds to complete development (egg to adult) estimated with the linear and nonlinear model were 14.6 and 17.4ЊC, respectively. The total degree-days required to complete development estimated by the linear model was 588. Using temperature data from Florida, a map was generated to project a prediction grid of I. variegatus generations per yr. Based on these predictions, the insect can complete three to Þve generations per year in areas currently invaded in Florida.

  • 2008 Annual Meeting Abstracts
    FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 2008 ANNUAL MEETING ABSTRACTS PIONEER LECTURE The Florida Entomological Society pioneer lecture committee selected Freddie Johnson to honor Charlie and Madeline Mellinger of Glades Crop Care as pioneers in Florida entomology. Dr. Freddie A. Johnson was born on August 5, 1938, in Tampa, Florida. According to Freddie, as a child, “bugs were his baby sitters.” When his mother was busy, she would catch a bug and he would watch it for hours. He reminisces that “Bugs in jars saved her a million hours.” Freddie graduated from Jennings High School near the Florida-Georgia border in 1957 and earned all three of his graduate degrees from the University of Florida: B.S. (1962), M.S. (1964) and Ph.D. (1975). While pursuing his graduate education, he served as a crop consultant and Extension entomologist, becoming an Assistant Professor in the UF Entomology and Nematology Department in 1975. He achieved tenure and promotion to Associate Professor in 1979 and became Professor & Coordinator of the Agriculture Information and Retrieval System (FAIRS) in 1984. As an Extension entomologist, Dr. Johnson was responsible for obtaining, analyzing and preparing the most useful and practical information relating to insects, including their biology, behavior, management, control and associated information needed by clientele. This information was delivered through a variety of communication means, e.g., slide sets, tapes, radio, television, magazines, newsletters, computers, telephones, workshops, classes, clientele meetings, schools, and numerous forms of written publications. He worked with the Extension, teaching and research faculty and staff of the Entomology and Nematology Department as well as other UF/IFAS departments, research and education centers, agricultural leaders, farmers and growers, food and agriculture related industries, county Extension faculty and many segments of the general public to provide pest management information.

MOCK (Under the Direction of Alan Harvey) ABSTRACT Anelosimus studiosus (Theridiidae) is a subsocial spider that has a diverse arthropod fauna associated with its webs. From south Georgia, I identified 1006 arthropods representing 105 species living with A. studiosus , and 40 species that were prey items from 250 webs. The arthropods seen in A. studiosus webs represented a distinct community from the arthropods on the tree. I found that Barronopsis barrowsi (Agelenidae) and Frontinella pyramitela was similar to A. studiosus in web structure and that B. barrowsi webs contained multiple arthropods. Also, previously known as asocial, B. barrowsi demonstrated sociality in having multiple adults per web. Lastly, the inquiline communities in the webs of A.studiosus and B.barronopsis contained many different feeding guilds, including herbivores, omnivores, generalist predators, kleptoparasites, and aranievores.
