Annual mid-May, June, July, and September basal soil drenches, basal broadcast applications, and basal trunk spray applications of imidacloprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran used alone, imidacloprid + clothianidin, dinotefuran + clothianidin, and trunk injections of emamectin benzoate were evaluated. Imidacloprid applied alone at 0.57 g a.i./2.54 cm dbh or greater, clothianidin and dinotefuran alone at 0.93 g a.i./2.54 cm dbh or greater, imidacloprid + clothianidin at 0.57 g a.i. + 0.28 g a.i.2.54 cm dbh or greater, dinotefuran + clothianidin at 0.47 g a.i. + 0.46 g a.i./2.54 cm dbh or greater, or emamectin benzoate applied at 0.2 to 0.6 g a.i./2.54 cm dbh provided good protection of ash trees up to 61 cm mean dbh. Canopy thinning was strongly correlated with the number of larval galleries/m2 (R2 = 0.95; P < 0.001) and adult EAB exit holes per m2 of branch surface area (R2 = 0.94; P = 0.002). Severe drought conditions may have contributed to a differential PCL response for treated large green ash trees growing in narrow residential parkways compared to trees growing in open park-like-landscape settings. Choice of active ingredient(s), product formulation(s), application methods and timing, EAB pressure, host susceptibility, and abiotic factors, and their role in implementing an EAB pest management plan are discussed.

  • Artificial Laboratory Breeding of Xylophagous Insect Larvae and Its Application in Cytogenetic Studies 2)
    Eos, t. LXII, págs. 7-22 (1986). Artificial laboratory breeding of xylophagous insect larvae and its application in cytogenetic studies 2) BY J. R. BARAGAÑO, A. NOTARIO y M. G. DE VIEDMA. INTRODUCTION HAYDAK, in 1936, managed to rear Oryzaephilus surinantensis (L.) in the la- boratory using an artificial diet. Many researchers have followed in his footsteps, so that since then, approximately 260 species of Coleoptera have been raised on nonnatural diets. Among these species there are 121 which are eminently xylophagous. They belong to seven families (Buprestidae, Elateridae, Bostrychiclae, Lyctidae, Myc- teridae, Cerambyciclae and Curculionidae). Their importance, from the economic point of view, varies widely : some of them attack living trees making them a pest ; others feed on dead or decaying wood so that they may be considered harmless or even beneficial (for example in the decomposition of tree stumps in forests) ; finally, a few cause damage to seasoned timber. Therefore, specialists in artificial breeding have been motivated by different objectives, and so have chosen the insect or insects in each case which were most suitable for obtaining specific desired results. It is clear that in the majority of cases the choice was not made at random. Generally, the insect studied was either recently established as a pest or well documented as such. •With these laboratory breeding experiments it is possible on the one hand to draw conclusions about the insects' nutritive requirements, parasitism, ethology etc ; and on the other to obtain enough specimens to try out different phytosanitary treatments with them. Both of these achievements are applicable to effectiye control of the insect problem.

  • The Potential Conservation Value of Unmowed Powerline Strips for Native Bees
    BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION Biological Conservation 124 (2005) 133–148 www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon The potential conservation value of unmowed powerline strips for native bees K.N. Russell a,*, H. Ikerd b, S. Droege c a Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West, 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, USA b Bee Biology and Systematics Laboratory, Utah State University, 5310 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322-5310, USA c USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, 12100 Beech Forest, Laurel, MD 20708-4083, USA Received 17 February 2004 Abstract The land area covered by powerline easements in the United States exceeds the area of almost all national parks, including Yel- lowstone. In parts of Europe and the US, electric companies have altered their land management practices from periodic mowing to extraction of tall vegetation combined with the use of selective herbicides. To investigate whether this alternate management practice might produce higher quality habitat for native bees, we compared the bee fauna collected in unmowed powerline corridors and in nearby mowed grassy fields at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (MD). Powerline sites had more spatially and numerically rare species and a richer bee community than the grassy fields, although the difference was less pronounced than we expected. Powerline sites also had more parasitic species and more cavity-nesting bees. Bee communities changed progressively through the season, but differences between the site types were persistent. The surrounding, non-grassland landscape likely has a strong influence on the bee species collected at the grassland sites, as some bees may be foraging in the grasslands but nesting elsewhere.

In this study, two new genera of Desmiphorini (Lamiinae) are proposed: Cleidaria gen. nov., to include Cleidaria cleidae sp. nov. from the state of Chiapas in Mexico, and Obscenoides gen. nov. for Desmiphora (D.) compta Martins & Galileo, 2005. The shape of tarsal claws of Cleidaria cleidae sp. nov. (abruptly narrowed from basal half) is so far, not found in any current genera of the tribe. With respect to Obscenoides compta (Martins & Galileo, 2005) comb. nov., the genitalia of males have an unusual shape with non-retractile parameres. The character combination related to this genital structure is unknown to us in other species in the family, and hypotheses about its function are suggested. Key-Words.
