    Can Trapping Control Asian Paper Wasp (<I>Polistes Chinensis

    TOFT, HARRIS: ASIAN PAPER WASP CONTROL 279 SHORT COMMUNICATION Can trapping control Asian paper wasp (Polistes chinensis antennalis) populations? Richard J. Toft and Richard J. Harris Landcare Research, Private Bag 6, Nelson, New Zealand (E-mail: [email protected]) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Asian paper wasps reach very high densities in some areas of the far north of the North Island, and concerns about their impact on native biota have led to a search for potential control methods. We simulated the effects of kill-trapping adults by manually removing either 50% or 75% of adults from nests and comparing subsequent counts of adults and capped pupal cells with paired untreated nests. Five weeks after treatment, the 50% removal group had an average of c. 29% fewer wasps than the untreated group, while the 75% removal group had c. 34% fewer than the untreated group. The rate of growth of both the 50% and 75% treatment groups after manipulation was similar to the untreated nests. We conclude that trapping is unlikely to be viable as a control tool unless it can be targeted at early-season queens, and that other options are better pursued at this stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Asian paper wasp; control; Polistes; trapping.

Silambarasan2 · K. Senthil2 · John Prasanth Jacob2 · Modhumita Ghosh Dasgupta1 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins with wide array of functions including plant defense against pathogens and insect pests. In the present study, a putative mannose-binding lectin (WsMBP1) of 1124 bp was isolated from leaves of Withania somnifera. The gene was expressed in E. coli, and the recombinant WsMBP1 with a predicted molecular weight of 31 kDa was tested for its insecticidal properties against Hyblaea puera (Lepidoptera: Hyblaeidae) and Probergrothius sanguinolens (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae). Delay in growth and metamorphosis, decreased larval body mass and increased mortality was recorded in recombinant WsMBP1-fed larvae. Histological studies on the midgut of lectin-treated insects showed disrupted and difused secretory cells surrounding the gut lumen in larvae of H. puera and P. sanguinolens, implicating its role in disruption of the digestive process and nutrient assimilation in the studied insect pests. The present study indicates that WsMBP1 can act as a potential gene resource in future transformation programs for incorporating insect pest tolerance in susceptible plant genotypes.

Forschler Received: 8 March 2017; Accepted: 6 June 2017; Published: 9 June 2017 Abstract: We investigated the role of floral odors from cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.), in mediating oviposition of the bean pod borer moth, Maruca vitrata, a serious pest of grain legumes that flies to host plants at the flowering stage and oviposits onto flowers and buds. The flower of the host plant V. unguiculata was a stimulus for egg-laying by M. vitrata in an oviposition bioassay. Commercial longifolene, β-caryophyllene, linalool, geraniol, and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate were used as stimulus. Each one elicited dose-dependent electroantennogram responses in female M. vitrata, and all but longifolene stimulated oviposition, when presented singly. Beta-caryophyllene was the most active stimulant, similar to that of the flower of V. unguiculata, and eliciting a dose-dependent oviposition response. Either olfaction or gustation was sufficient to mediate an oviposition response to V. unguiculata floral volatiles: intact M. vitrata responded to β-caryophyllene whether or not they could contact the source of the volatiles, and females with amputated antennae responded if allowed to contact the source.

    Bidirectional Plant‐Mediated Interactions Between Rhizobacteria and Shoot‐Feeding Herbivorous Insects

    Ecological Entomology (2020), DOI: 10.1111/een.12966 INVITEDREVIEW Bidirectional plant-mediated interactions between rhizobacteria and shoot-feeding herbivorous insects: a community ecology perspective JULIA FRIMAN,1 ANA PINEDA,2 JOOP J.A. VAN LOON1 , and MARCEL DICKE1 3 1Laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen University & Research, Wageningen, The Netherlands, 2Department of Terrestrial Ecology, Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), Wageningen, The Netherlands and 3Marcel Dicke, Laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen University & Research, Wageningen, The Netherlands Abstract. 1. Plants interact with various organisms, aboveground as well as below- ground. Such interactions result in changes in plant traits with consequences for mem- bers of the plant-associated community at different trophic levels. Research thus far focussed on interactions of plants with individual species. However, studying such inter- actions in a community context is needed to gain a better understanding. 2. Members of the aboveground insect community induce defences that systemically influence plant interactions with herbivorous as well as carnivorous insects. Plant roots are associated with a community of plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). This PGPR community modulates insect-induced defences of plants. Thus, PGPR and insects interact indirectly via plant-mediated interactions. 3. Such plant-mediated interactions between belowground PGPR and aboveground insects have usually been addressed unidirectionally from belowground to aboveground. Here, we take a bidirectional approach to these cross-compartment plant-mediated interactions. 4. Recent studies show that upon aboveground attack by insect herbivores, plants may recruit rhizobacteria that enhance plant defence against the attackers. This rearranging of the PGPR community in the rhizosphere has consequences for members of the aboveground insect community.

They display remarkable social organization that has enabled them to be ubiquitous throughout the world. They make up approximately 10% of the world’s animal biomass. Ants provide ecosystem services in agrosystems by playing a major role in plant pollination, soil bioturbation, bioindication, and the regulation of crop-damaging insects. Over recent decades, there have been numerous studies in ant ecology and the focus on tree cropping systems has given added importance to ant ecology knowledge.

The combination of glacial history, climate and relief has allowed the development of the richest and most unusual temperate forests in the world. Compared to other temperate ecosystems, the level of endemic plants and invertebrates present in the region is extraordinarily high which has resulted in unusual assemblages of plants and animals. For example, subtropical species such as tiger and Himalayan bear share the same habitat with species typical of northern taiga such as brown bear and reindeer.

Abstract Red Cotton Bug, Dysdercus koenigii F., (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) also called cotton stainer is a destructive pest of cotton and many other economical crops in Asia. D. koenigii feeds on a variety of hosts including cotton. It damages the crop by sucking sap and staining lint by its faeces. Being important pest of many important crops, the present work was planned to study the comparative biology and biometrics most appropriate word of D. koenigii on cotton, okra and simal under laboratory condition. Significantly lesser nymphal duration was observed in cotton 23.42±1.38 days as compared to okra and simal 28.20±2.08 and 28.39±1.96 days respectively. The longer adult life was observed on cotton (female 20.85±6.17 days and male 16.18±6.11 days) and simal (female 20.11±3.19 days and male 15.41±2.37 days) than the okra (female 17.60±2.58 days and male 10.92±2.49 days). In case of cotton D.

One genus and 27 species (including 3 new species: 52% of the captured material) are new records for the country. In addition, three new species, Chrysis gianassoi sp. nov., Chrysis majidi sp. nov. and Chrysis unirubra sp. nov. are described and illustrated, and diagnostic characters are provided to identify them. Chrysis turcica du Buyson, 1908 is removed from synonymy with Chrysis peninsularis du Buysson, 1887. Chrysis bilobata Balthasar, 1953 is confirmed as valid species and illustrated. The composition of the Iranian Chrysididae fauna is compared with that of South Palaearctic countries. The large proportion of new record and new species (≈52%) indicates that the fauna of Iranian Chrysididae is rich and diverse but has not yet been thoroughly studied. The majority of new record were obtained from mountainous sites above 1000 m above sea level, indicating the rich biodiversity of this biotope.
