In an attempt to evaluate the insects temperature adaptations that play a significant role in its establishment potential, life table parameters and the effect of temperature on its fecundity, longevity, host-instar choice, superparasitism and host feeding were studied. Tests were conducted at 20, 25 and 30 ± 0.5 °C with 60 ± 10% RH and a 14L:10D photoperiod. S. petiolatus oviposition period was 21.05 ± 2.54 days at 30 °C but as short as 2.25 ± 0.23 days at 20 °C. Fecundity had a maximum value (173.3 ± 27.09) at 30 °C followed by 143.57 ± 22.67 and 5.13 ± 0.81 at 25 and 20 °C, respectively while, 28.57% of the females failed to oviposit at 20 °C. Female longevity averaged between 25.20 and 20.57 days at 30 and 25 °C, respectively but dropped to just 5.77 days at 20 °C.

The galls support species-rich, closed communities of inquilines and parasitoids that have become a model system in community ecology. We review recent advances in the ecology of oak cynipids, with particular emphasis on life cycle characteristics and the dynamics of the interactions between host plants, gall wasps, and natural enemies. We assess the importance of gall traits in structuring oak cynipid communities and summarize the evidence for bottom-up and top-down effects across trophic levels.

A cladistic analysis of known species of both Hemiptarsenus Westwood and Sympiesis Förster (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Hungary was carried out based on 176 morphological characters from adults. Three most-parsi- monious trees (MPTs) were produced, strictly consensused, and rerooted. Monophyly of Sympiesis was sup- ported by all 3 MPTs. A review of the genera Hemiptarsenus Westwood and Sympiesis Förster was made based on the results of the cladistic analysis. Sympiesis petiolata was transferred into Hemiptarsenus.

  • Sex Allocation and Clutch Size in Parasitoid Wasps That Produce Single-Sex Broods
    ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 1999, 57, 265–275 Article No. anbe.1998.0958, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on ARTICLES Sex allocation and clutch size in parasitoid wasps that produce single-sex broods S. A. WEST, K. E. FLANAGAN & H. C. J. GODFRAY Department of Biology & NERC Centre for Population Biology, Imperial College at Silwood Park (Received 12 March 1998; initial acceptance 1 May 1998; final acceptance 8 August 1998; MS. number: 5825) The parasitoid wasp genus Achrysocharoides (Eulophidae) is unusual in that many of its species lay male and female eggs in single-sex clutches. The average clutch size of female broods is always greater than that of male broods, and in some species male clutch size is always one. We constructed models that predicted that severely egg-limited wasps should produce equal numbers of male and female eggs while severely host-limited wasps should produce equal numbers of male and female broods (and hence an overall female-biased sex ratio). Theory is developed to predict clutch size and sex ratio across the complete spectrum of host and egg limitation. A comparison of 19 surveys of clutch composition in seven species of Achrysocharoides showed a general pattern of equal numbers of male and female broods with a female-biased sex ratio (suggesting host limitation) although with considerable heterogeneity amongst collections and with a number of cases of unexpectedly low frequencies of male broods. Using a previous estimate of the relationship between fitness and size in the field, we predicted the maximally productive (Lack) clutch size for female broods of Achrysocharoides zwoelferi to be three.

A. Yefremova & V. D. Kravchenko Abstract The article reports on the quantitative description of the food web structure of the community consisting of 65 species of Lepidoptera leaf miners reared from 34 plant species, as well as 107 species of parasitoid eulophid wasps (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). The study was conducted in the forest-steppe zone of the Middle Volga in Russia over 13 years (2000-2012). Leaf miners have been found to be highly host plant-specific. Most of them are associated with only one or two plant species and therefore the number of links between trophic levels is 73, which is close to the total number of Lepidoptera species (linkage density is 1.12).

  • Previously Unrecorded Damage to Oak, Quercus Spp., in Southern California by the Goldspotted Oak Borer, Agrilus Coxalis Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) 1 2 TOM W
    THE PAN-PACIFIC ENTOMOLOGIST 84(4):288–300, (2008) Previously unrecorded damage to oak, Quercus spp., in southern California by the goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus coxalis Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) 1 2 TOM W. COLEMAN AND STEVEN J. SEYBOLD 1USDA Forest Service-Forest Health Protection, 602 S. Tippecanoe Ave., San Bernardino, California 92408 Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] 2USDA Forest Service-Pacific Southwest Research Station, Chemical Ecology of Forest Insects, 720 Olive Dr., Suite D, Davis, California 95616 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. A new and potentially devastating pest of oaks, Quercus spp., has been discovered in southern California. The goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus coxalis Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), colonizes the sapwood surface and phloem of the main stem and larger branches of at least three species of Quercus in San Diego Co., California. Larval feeding kills patches and strips of the phloem and cambium resulting in crown die back followed by mortality. In a survey of forest stand conditions at three sites in this area, 67% of the Quercus trees were found with external or internal evidence of A. coxalis attack. The literature and known distribution of A. coxalis are reviewed, and similarities in the behavior and impact of this species with other tree-killing Agrilus spp. are discussed. Key Words. Agrilus coxalis, California, flatheaded borer, introduced species, oak mortality, Quercus agrifolia, Quercus chrysolepis, Quercus kelloggii, range expansion. INTRODUCTION Extensive mortality of coast live oak, Quercus agrifolia Ne´e (Fagaceae), Engelmann oak, Quercus engelmannii Greene, and California black oak, Q. kelloggii Newb., has occurred since 2002 on the Cleveland National Forest (CNF) in San Diego Co., California.
