While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

  • Erythrina Gall Wasp, Quadrastichus Erythrinae Kim, in Florida

Bronson, Commissioner of Agriculture Erythrina Gall Wasp, Quadrastichus erythrinae Kim, in Florida James Wiley, [email protected], Taxonomic Entomologist, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Divsion of Plant Industry Paul Skelley, [email protected], Taxonomic Entomologist, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry INTRODUCTION: Galls of the eulophid erythrina gall wasp, Quadrastichus erythrinae Kim 2004, were first collected in Florida by Edward Putland and Olga Garcia (Florida Department of Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry) on Erythrina variegata L. in Miami-Dade County at the Miami Metro Zoo on October 15, 2006. Erythrina variegata, also known as coral tree, tiger’s claw, Japanese coral tree, Indian coral tree, and wiliwili-haole, is noted for its seasonal showy red flowers and variegated leaves. It is an ornamental landscape tree widely planted in the southern part of the state. Erythrina is a large genus with approximately 110 different species worldwide. In addition to Erythrina variegata, the erythrina gall wasp has been collected on E. crista-galli L., E. sandwicensis Deg., and E. stricta Roxb. It is uncertain at this time how many species of Erythrina the erythrina gall wasp may attack in Florida. DISTRIBUTION: The erythrina gall wasp is believed to have originated in Africa, but this remains uncertain. It was described (Kim et al 2004) from specimens from Singapore, Mauritius, and Reunion. In the past two years, it has spread to China, India, Taiwan, Philippines, and Hawaii (Heu et al 2006; Schmaedick et al 2006; ISSG 2006).

  • Wiliwili Gall Wasp Invasion Length: One Class Period with Optional Homework Assignment
    Activity #6 Invasive Species Unit 3 Activity #6 Wiliwili Gall Wasp Invasion Length: One class period with optional homework assignment Prerequisite Activity: None Objectives: • Trace the path of the 2005 wiliwili gall wasp invasion on Maui using real-life data. • Identify vectors ad pathways that facilitate the spread of invasive species. • Devise strategies for stopping an invasive pest. • Predict the efficacy of control strategies, based on existing and plausible environmental factors. Vocabulary: biological control (or biocontrol) Erythrina gall wasp (EGW) deciduous vector dormancy ••• Class Period One: Exploring the Gall Wasp Invasion on Google Earth In Advance This exercise requires access to Google Earth (free software available for download at www.earth. google.com) and the Wiliwili Gall Wasp Hoike.kmz file (included with this curriculum and available for download at www.hoikecurriculum.org). It’s best to pre-load computers with the program and file, rather than use class time to do so. Ideally students will work in small groups at their own computers as you lead them through the lesson, using a projector and screen. If that’s not possible, a single computer and projector will suffice. Prior to teaching the lesson, open Google Earth. If you’re using the software for the first time, take a few moments to learn how zoom, pan, search, etc. using the “Navigating Google Earth” tutorial avail- able at www.earth.google.com. It is best, though not necessary, to use Google Earth while connected to the Internet. Explore the Wiliwili Gall

    1 Erythrina sandwicensis Demography and Spatial Patterns of Erythrina gall wasp, Quadratichus erythrinae Infestation in Waikoloa, Hawai‘i Couch, C.S., J.S. Simonis, R.Q. Thomas, M. Manuel, D. Faucette, J.P. Sparks Abstract: Hawai‘i’s tropical dry forests are unique and highly endangered ecosystems that are currently being degraded by human development and invasive species. The Wiliwili tree, Erythrina sandwicensis (Fabaceae), a dominant species in Hawaiian tropical dry forests is now critically threatened due to the destructive impacts of invasive species, in particular the Erythrina gall wasp, Quadratichus erythrinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Here, we investigated the spatial and size distribution patterns of E. sandwicensis and potential effects of Q. erythrinae on population demographics by surveying a 310 ha parcel of dry forest in Waikoloa, Hawai‘i. This population of E. sandwicensis is comprised of 119 live trees, all of which are large adults that were spatially clumped to a radius of 400 meters.. In addition, the level of infestation of individual trees by Q. erythrinae was highly spatially autocorrelated, with the greatest correlation occurring within 100 m. Individual trees with higher gall wasp infestation had less tree leaf cover and a lower probability of seeds being present. The results of this study demonstrate that the largest population of E. sandwicensis on Hawai‘i is currently threatened by an invasive insect that alters the ability of trees to photosynthesize and decreases reproductive output. The clumped distribution of individuals likely facilitates the spread of the gall wasp but may allow for spatially focused conservation efforts. Thus a greater understanding of the severity of 2 invasive species impacts on plant physiology and reproductive fitness is necessary for the proper management of E.

Numerous species were present in the royal and private botanical gardens of the region, but their number has decreased today. The purpose of this work was to verify which species occur nowadays in the public areas of Naples and associate them with the historical information about their introduction. The identification was carried out also by molecular methods, by means of sequencing nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers. The comparison of the sequences obtained for the specimens present in Naples with those present in the literature, together with a morphological examination, allowed us to identify with accuracy the species anciently introduced or nowadays cultivated in Naples.

Department of Biotechnology, A.N. College, Magadh University, Patna Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Traditional Health System recommends use of plant extract which continues to provide health coverage to a large population especially in developing countries. In recent year, interest in formulating plant based medicine has grown rapidly. The global medicine markets have high demand of herbal plants extract and this demand is increasing day by day. Medicinal Plants are source of many noble drugs compounds. Secondary metabolites are a source of biological active natural products with high potential in various ailments. Erythrina variegata L. commonly called “Coral plant” show the presence of alkaloids, flavanoids, glycosides, steroids, phenols, tannins, saponins and resins in different solvent leaf extract. 50 numbers of Farmers/ Natives were interviewed with a structural questionnaire in order to understand the utilization of this plant in different areas. Most of the participants (85%) responded positively for the medicinal use of the coral plant, especially its leaves, roots and barks whereas some respondents are not clear. This plant is also utilized for general shade and shade tree (63%), Fence making (39%), food (22%), animal feed (28%) and burning wood (68%). Overall the tree is in general regarded as a beautiful, ornamental, green canopy, highly useful plant by Patnaites.
