(iii) (iv) ABSTRACT A plant-insect allomonal system was investigated, involving seed bugs (Lygaeidae) on milkweeds (Asclepias spp.). The ability of the insects to sequester secondary compounds from host plants was studied in detail in central California. A colorimetric assay was used to quanitify the amount of cardenolides (cardiac glycosides) in the lygaeid bugs Oncopeltus fasciatus and Lygaeus kalmii kalmii and nine species of milkweed host plants.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

Analyses conducted using repetitive DNAs have contributed to better understanding the chromosome structure and evolution of several species of insects. There are few data on the organization, localization, and evolutionary behavior of repetitive DNA in the family Lygaeidae, especially in Brazilian species. To elucidate the physical mapping and evolutionary events that involve these sequences, we cytogenetically analyzed three species of Lygaeidae and found 2n (♂) = 18 (16 + XY) for Oncopeltus femoralis; 2n (♂) = 14 (12 + XY) for Ochrimnus sagax; and 2n (♂) = 12 (10 + XY) for Lygaeus peruvianus. Each species showed different quantities of heterochromatin, which also showed variation in their molecular composition by fluorochrome Genetics and Molecular Research 13 (1): 2186-2199 (2014) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Physical mapping in Lygaeidae 2187 staining.

After finishing my doctoral work I was an Instructor in the Biology Department of the University of Buffalo for one year before returning to my native city in 1961 to be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Saint Louis University. In 1964 I be- came an Associate Professor and in 1967 a Professor in that De- partment. Some of my professional activities in the last few years include Chairman of the Biochemistry and Physiology Section of the XV International Congress of Entomology, Editor of Environ- mental Entomology, Chairman of the Physiology and Toxicology Section of the Entomological Society of America, President of Saint Louis University Chapter of Sigma Xi, and member of the National Institutes of Health Tropical Medicine and Parasitology Study Sec- tion. My current interests include a rather broad spectrum of insect physiology studies. My graduate students and I are investigating the mechanism of action of juvenile hormone in the milkweed bug and the use of maggots in determining time of death for forensic pathologists. My other interests include invertebrate “immunolog- ical” reactions and the biology and physiology of the large milk- weed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus. 101 101 101 102 Antiallatotropin Action Introduction For many years hormone action has been studied by surgically removing the gland that produces the hormone and seeing what physiological or bio- chemical changes occur.

ECOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENT Gargaphia decoris DRAKE (HEMIPTERA: TINGIDAE) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Science at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand Cecilia María Falla 2017 ABSTRACT The Brazilian lace bug (Gargaphia decoris Drake (Hemiptera:Tingidae)) was released in New Zealand in 2010 for the biological control of the invasive weed woolly nightshade (Solanum mauritianum Scopoli (Solanaceae)). Currently there is scarce information about the potential effect of ecological factors on the establishment of this biological control agent. This study investigated: 1) the effect of maternal care and aggregation on nymphal survival and development; 2) the effect of temperature, photoperiod and humidity on G. decoris performance; and 3) the effect of light intensity on S. mauritianum and G. decoris performance. Maternal care and aggregation are characteristic behaviours of G. decoris. These behaviours have an adaptive significance for the offspring and are key determinants for the survival of the species under natural conditions. Maternal care is reported to increase the survival and development of offspring under field conditions, and higher aggregations to increase the survival of the offspring. However, in this study, maternal care negatively affected the survival and development of the offspring, and higher aggregations had no significant impact on offspring survival.

The cardenolide content of the dorsolateral space, gut, wings and fat body of Oncopeltus fasciatus was examined. The results indicate that the majority of cardenolides sequestered in the insect are concentrated in the dorsolateral space, which confirms the basic pattern of quantitative distribution of cardenolides in fJ.

  • Hemiptera: Lygaeidae: Oncopeltus Fasciatus) by Jumping Spiders (Araneae: Salticidae: Dendryphantina: Phidippus)
    Peckhamia 143.1 Learned avoidance of Oncopeltus by Phidippus 1 PECKHAMIA 143.1, 12 June 2016, 1―25 ISSN 2161―8526 (print) ISSN 1944―8120 (online) Learned avoidance of the Large Milkweed Bug (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae: Oncopeltus fasciatus) by jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae: Dendryphantina: Phidippus) David E. Hill 1 1213 Wild Horse Creek Drive, Simpsonville, SC 29680-6513, USA, email [email protected] Abstract: In the laboratory, Phidippus jumping spiders often attacked, but seldom fed upon nymphs and adult milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) when these were reared on milkweed (Asclepias) seeds. Spiders readily attacked and fed upon Oncopeltus reared on sunflower (Helianthus) seeds. Phidippus were shown to reject flies treated with either hemolymph, or with fluid from the lateral thoracic compartment, of Oncopeltus. They also rejected flies treated with β-Ecdysone, but accepted flies treated with lethal doses of the cardenolides g- Strophanthin (Ouabain) and Digitoxin. Single encounters with Oncopeltus significantly reduced the probability of attack in a subsequent encounter for less than two hours. Repeated encounters with Oncopeltus led to greater avoidance than did a single encounter. In the absence of repeated experience with these bugs, however, Phidippus recovered their tendency to attack over a period of several days. More satiated spiders were more discriminating in their choice of prey. Negative experience with Oncopeltus did not necessarily impact their predation on other insects, including flies (Diptera). Impact of measurement techniques on results in prey avoidance and acceptance studies are discussed. A preliminary model for selective avoidance and attraction to potential prey, the defenses of Oncopeltus fasciatus, and salticid contact chemoreception in general, are also reviewed.
