A variety of problems associated with the traditional use of non- selective insecticides for its control include: untoward environmental effects, insecticide resistance, negative impacts on natural enemies, and safety for pesticide applicators and the food supply. Concerns about these consequences have increased the interest in and development of alternative means for CM control that have little or no impact on humans, beneficial organisms and sensitive ecosystems. An effective and selective alternative to chemical insecticides for CM control is the CM granulovirus (CpGV). The virus was first isolated in Mexico and subsequently studied and evaluated in Europe and North America. A variety of research including pathology, pathogenesis and histo- pathology of the virus, determination of virulence, development of production methods, field use, factors that influence efficacy, commercial development, formulation, and CM resistance to the virus has been conducted. Commercial products of CpGV are now produced in Europe and North America and used by orchardists worldwide. In this paper we present a comprehensive review of the CpGV literature and the role of the virus in integrated pest management.

CM is regarded as the most injurious insect pest of apple in most countries where apple is grown (Barnes 1991). It is usually controlled in conventional orchards with broad-spectrum insecticides such as azinphos-methyl † (Guthion ). Extensive use of broad spectrum pesticides has resulted in a variety of problems including negative environmental effects, insecticide resistance, outbreaks of secondary pests due to disruption of natural controls, and safety of pesticide applicators and the food supply.

An effective alternative to non- selective chemical insecticides with no impact on beneficial organisms is the CM granulovirus (CpGV). In this review, we will provide comprehensive background on the virus and its potential for incorporation into integrated pest management (IPM) in orchard agroecosystems. Description, pathogenesis, histopathology and transmission of CpGV CpGV was originally isolated from infected CM larvae collected near Valle de Allende, Chihuahua, Mexico and described by Tanada (1964). CpGV is the type species for the genus Granulovirus within the family Baculoviridae (Theilmann et al. 2005; Jehle et al. 2006), and as such has a circular, double-stranded DNA genome and has both budded and occluded virus phenotypes (Crook, Spencer, Payne, and Leisy 1985; Crook 1986; Tanada and Hess 1991; Federici 1997). Granuloviruses are so named because of their granular appearance under high magnification in light microscopy. The granules, also referred to as occlusion bodies (OBs), consist of a viral encoded protein (granulin) matrix in which a single rod-shaped, enveloped virion is occluded (Federici 1986; Tanada and Hess 1991). The nucleocapsid consists of a protein coat containing the viral DNA genome (Figure 1). CpGV OBs are ovocylindrical and approximately 360 190 nm wide (based on measure of micrographs in Tanada 1964). Electron microscopy studies of the fine structure of the virus have also been reported by Stairs, Parrish, Briggs, and Allietta (1966), Tanada and Leutenegger (1968), and Hess and Falcon (1987) and its structure is typical of other granuloviruses (Federici 1986). CpGV is one of the most virulent granuloviruses, categorised as a type 2 granulovirus which is faster acting than types 1 or 3, with a broader range of tissues infected and resulting rupture of the integument.

When neonate larvae ingest a lethal concentration of the virus, death ensues in as few as 3 days (Glen and Clark 1985; Brain and Glen 1989; Ballard, Ellis, and Payne 2000b; Lacey, Vail, and Hoffmann 2002). The LD50 has been estimated as low as 1.2Á5 OBs per neonate larva (Sheppard and Stairs 1977; Harvey and Volkman 1983; Huber 1986) with higher estimates for number of OBs/mm2 of artificial diet (Laing and Jaques 1980; Huber 1981; Eastwell, Cossentine, and Bernardy 1999; Lacey et al. 2002). Older instars require higher doses of the virus (Keller 1973; Sheppard and Stairs 1977; Camponovo and Benz 1984). When older CM larvae are fed low dosages of the virus, they have a higher and longer rate of weight increase than uninfected larvae (Jans and Benz 1985). Following ingestion, the proteinaceous coat or granulin is dissolved in the alkaline pH of the midgut liberating the nucleocapsids. The nucleocapsids pass through the peritrophic membrane and then fuse with the microvilli of the midgut epithelium. After entering the cells, the nucleocapsids are transported to the nuclear membrane where the viral DNA genome appears to enter the nucleus by way of the nuclear pore.

  • Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs
    20182018 Green RoofsUrban and Naturalist Urban Biodiversity SpecialSpecial Issue No. Issue 1:16–38 No. 1 A. Nagase, Y. Yamada, T. Aoki, and M. Nomura URBAN NATURALIST Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs Ayako Nagase1,*, Yoriyuki Yamada2, Tadataka Aoki2, and Masashi Nomura3 Abstract - Urban biodiversity is an important ecological goal that drives green-roof in- stallation. We studied 2 kinds of green roofs designed to optimize biodiversity benefits: the Harappa (extensive) roof and the Biotope (intensive) roof. The Harappa roof mimics vacant-lot vegetation. It is relatively inexpensive, is made from recycled materials, and features community participation in the processes of design, construction, and mainte- nance. The Biotope roof includes mainly native and host plant species for arthropods, as well as water features and stones to create a wide range of habitats. This study is the first to showcase the Harappa roof and to compare biodiversity on Harappa and Biotope roofs. Arthropod species richness was significantly greater on the Biotope roof. The Harappa roof had dynamic seasonal changes in vegetation and mainly provided habitats for grassland fauna. In contrast, the Biotope roof provided stable habitats for various arthropods. Herein, we outline a set of testable hypotheses for future comparison of these different types of green roofs aimed at supporting urban biodiversity. Introduction Rapid urban growth and associated anthropogenic environmental change have been identified as major threats to biodiversity at a global scale (Grimm et al. 2008, Güneralp and Seto 2013). Green roofs can partially compensate for the loss of green areas by replacing impervious rooftop surfaces and thus, contribute to urban biodiversity (Brenneisen 2006).

Received: 27 March 2014; in revised form: 20 May 2014 / Accepted: 23 May 2014 / Published: 19 June 2014 Abstract: Female moths are known to detect their own sex pheromone—a phenomenon called “autodetection”. Autodetection has various effects on female moth behavior, including altering natural circadian rhythm of calling behavior, inducing flight, and in some cases causing aggregations of conspecifics. A proposed hypothesis for the possible evolutionary benefits of autodetection is its possible role as a spacing mechanism to reduce female-female competition. Here, we explore autodetection in two species of tortricids (Grapholita molesta (Busck) and Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris)). We find that females of both species not only “autodetect,” but that learning (change in behavior following experience) occurs, which affects behavior for at least 24 hours after pheromone pre-exposure. Specifically, female calling in both species is advanced at least 24 hours, but not 5 days, following pheromone pre-exposure.

We evaluated the species concept for a common generalist moth occurring in New Guinea and Australia, Homona mermerodes, in light of host plant records and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I haplotype diversity. Genetic divergence among H. mermerodes moths feeding on different host tree species was much lower than among several Homona species. Genetic divergence between haplotypes from New Guinea and Australia was also less than interspecific divergence. Whereas molecular species identification methods may reveal cryptic species in some generalist herbivores, these same methods may confirm polyphagy when identical haplotypes are reared from multiple host plant families. A lectotype for the species is designated, and a summarized bibliography and illustrations including male genitalia are provided for the first time.

  • DNA Barcoding in Floral and Faunal Research
    22 DNA barcoding in floral and faunal research S. E. MILLER 22.1 Introduction As I write this chapter in mid 2012, the context in which floral and faunal research is done is changing rapidly. Demand for biodiversity information, especially to under- stand global change, is increasing. The technologies that are available for carrying out biodiversity research and for disseminating the results are changing dramati- cally. The funding processes and organisational cultures of the institutions that have been the traditional homes of such research are evolving. This creates new chal- lenges and opportunities for floral and faunal research. This chapter will focus on the intersection of DNA barcoding with floral and faunal research, the opportunities that DNA barcoding offers for increasing the quality and quantity of such work, and its connectivity with related activities. I will discuss the opportunities for DNA barcoding and then provide an example from my own research. The essay focuses on plants and animals, but will include some reference to other organisms. Because of the rapid evolution of the underlying technologies, and the related social changes, this essay represents a ‘slice of time’, and I expect some of the conclusions will be out of date before it is published. While challenges remain, I believe this is an exciting time of renaissance for taxonomy (Miller, 2007). A DNA barcode is a short gene sequence taken from standardised portions of the genome, used to identify species. Being DNA based, it can be used for specimens Descriptive Taxonomy: The Foundation of Biodiversity Research, eds M. F. Watson, C. H.

Mitochondrial pseudogenes in insect DNA barcoding: differing points of view on the same issue. Biota Neotrop. 12(3): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v12n3/en/abstract?thematic-review+bn02412032012 Abstract: Molecular tools have been used in taxonomy for the purpose of identification and classification of living organisms. Among these, a short sequence of the mitochondrial DNA, popularly known as DNA barcoding, has become very popular. However, the usefulness and dependability of DNA barcodes have been recently questioned because mitochondrial pseudogenes, non-functional copies of the mitochondrial DNA incorporated into the nuclear genome, have been found in various taxa. When these paralogous sequences are amplified together with the mitochondrial DNA, they may go unnoticed and end up being analyzed as if they were orthologous sequences. In this contribution the different points of view regarding the implications of mitochondrial pseudogenes for entomology are reviewed and discussed. A discussion of the problem from a historical and conceptual perspective is presented as well as a discussion of strategies to keep these nuclear mtDNA copies out of sequence analyzes.
