Het behalen van deze eindstreep liep niet altijd over een even effen parcours en zou nooit gelukt zijn zonder de steun en hulp van vele mensen. Aan al deze mensen: een dikke merci!!! Toch zijn er enkele personen die ik extra in de aandacht wil zetten. Als eersten wil ik mijn beide promotoren bedanken: Patrick De Clercq en Luc Tirry. Zij waren het die mij de kans gaven aan dit project te starten en mij het volle vertrouwen gaven om dit tot een goed einde te brengen. Verder wil ik hun ook danken voor het geduld dat ze opbrachten en de raad die ze meegaven telkens wanneer ik voor hun deur stond met de woorden: ‘k heb een vraagske? Daarnaast kon ik op jullie steun en raad blijven rekenen na het spruitkoolproject. Zonder al te veel te pushen, herinnerden jullie mij tijdig aan het schrijven van mijn doctoraat. Merci voor alles! Dan hebben we Leen, collega/vriendin, bureaugenoot, labo-genoot, veldwerkster, luisterend oor en nog zoveel meer. Bedankt om samen met mij aan dit project te starten en niet op te geven. Ook al was de stapel (vieze, vuile) potjes nog zo hoog, met een babbel en een lach sloegen we ons er wel door. Nick, met de lieveheersbeestjes van jou ben ik in de wereld van de kleine beestjes terecht gekomen en er nog niet uitgeraakt. Tijdens en na het spruitkoolproject kon ik op je rekenen, niet alleen voor de gewone losse babbels, maar ook voor het gespecialiseerd statistisch werk. Zoals Maarten het verwoorde, nen crème van nen kerel! Ook je vader, Prof. Dr. ir. Dirk Berkvens, wil ik danken voor de hulp in tijden van statistische nood. Allebei, nen dikke merci! Bedankt Jochem, voor de morele steun, het verzorgen van de vrolijke noot in de soms wel moeilijke tijden en de emmers zever (gezever) die we samen hebben verzameld. Naast deze personen zijn er nog een heleboel andere personen die de dagen op den unief in het labo aangenaam maakten: Leen, Nick, Jochem, Maarten, Sara, Thijs, Bjorn, Veronic, Brecht, Tung, Annelies, Dominiek, Rik en Didier. Zonder jullie zou de sfeer op het labo, niet zijn geweest zoals ze was. Bedankt allen! Verder wil ik mijn zwemcollega’s: Jochem, Ruben, Brecht en Astrid bedanken voor de wekelijkse (of toch bijna wekelijkse) zwemsessies die we hielden om toch een beetje beweging te hebben gedurende onze middagpauzes. De thesisstudenten: Stef, Stefanie, Dieter en Lies voor hun dagelijkse opofferingen die ze soms moesten maken. Daarnaast gaat mijn dank ook uit naar de mensen van de proefcentra voor de hulp en babbels tijdens het veldwerk: Sofie, Nathalie, Hilde, Liesbet(h), Tijl, Leen, Dominiek, Christel. Ook de collega’s van de Hogeschool (Lucien, Véronique, Anneleen, …) wil ik danken voor de vrijheid die ze me gaven als ik af en toe eens weg moest voor mijn doctoraat en de steun en luisterbereidheid de voorbije drie jaren. Ook de leden van de examencommissie (prof. Dr.ir. Stefaan De Smet [voorzitter], prof. Dr. ir. Kris Verheyen [secretaris], prof. Dr. ir. Marie-Christine Van Labeke en prof. Dr. Felix Wäckers) wil ik danken voor de tijd die ze spendeerden aan het zorgvuldig nalezen van dit werk en het maken van aanbevelingen ter aansterking van dit werk. Ook mijn vriend(inn)en wil ik danken voor het telkens moeten aanhoren van: “sorry, maar dat zal niet gaan want ik moet werken voor mijn …” Dit zal nu veranderen! Broers ook jullie wil ik bedanken voor het altijd aanwezig zijn in mijn leven, voor de morele steun (en soms afbraak) en het inspringen in het labo/veldwerk wanneer nodig. Bedankt! De laatste dankbetuigingen gaan uit naar mijn ouders en vriendin: Mama en papa: bedankt voor alles! Moeilijk samen te vatten in enkele woorden, Bedankt! Mijn liefste Evelinetje!!! Zonder al je steun en liefde, je opofferingen (weekends, avonden,…), al het huishoudelijk werk (en al het andere) dat je deed, zou het me nooit gelukt zijn om het tot nu vol te houden. Een supergrote, mooie medaille voor moed en zelfopoffering ligt voor jou klaar! Verder wil ik je ook nog danken om mij er altijd op te wijzen realistisch te blijven met mijn niet altijd even haalbare “life”-lines, (die meestal wel behaald werden mits meer tijd). Voor al de rest schieten woorden soms te kort. Dikke kus!

We report, for the first time, the occurrence of Paecilomyces niveus as an entomopathogen of the aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri in Pinhais, Paraná, Brazil. Samples of mummified aphids were collected from lettuce crops. The fungus P. niveus (PaePR) was isolated from the insect bodies and identified by macro and micromorphology. The species was confirmed by sequencing Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA. We obtained a sequence of 528 bp (accession number HQ441751), which aligned with Byssochlamys nivea strains (100% identities). In a bioassay, 120 h after inoculation of N.

  • Natural Enemies of the Currant Lettuce Aphid, Nasonovia Ribisnigri (Mosely) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Their Population Fluctuations in Ahvaz, Iran
    J. Crop Prot. 2014, 3 (4):487-497_______________________________________________________ Research Article Natural enemies of the currant lettuce aphid, Nasonovia ribisnigri (Mosely) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and their population fluctuations in Ahvaz, Iran Afrooz Farsi1*, Farhan Kocheili1, Mohammad Saeed Mossadegh1, Arash Rasekh1 and Mehrzad Tavoosi2 1. Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Ahvaz, Iran. 2. Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Center of Khuzestan-Ahvaz. Abstract: Nasonovia ribisnigri (Mosely) is one of the most important pests of the lettuce plant and it was reported for the first time in Ahvaz in 2008. In order to investigate the dominant species of its natural enemies and their population fluctuations, sample were taken arbitrarily from fifty plants twice a week during the growing season in 2010-2012. In this study, ten species of predators, three species of parasitoids and two species of hyperparasitoids were collected and identified. Hoverflies with a relative frequency of 55% were the dominant predators. Peaks of lacewings and subsequently ladybird beetles were more coincident with peaks of aphid population in mid-March in the first year of studies. But their densities in the second year were very low. Also, hoverflies and parasitoids were mainly observed in the high densities in late March-early April, in both years. Regression analysis indicated that populations of aphids were mainly affected by ladybird beetles and lacewings in the first year of study, as well as by ladybird beetles, hoverflies and parasitoids in the second year. Therefore, additional studies are required for further evaluation on the potential abilities of these natural enemies being a good candidates for the future biological control programs.

  • The Syrphid Fly, Mesogramma Marginata, and the Flowers of Apocynum.* *
    THE SYRPHID FLY, MESOGRAMMA MARGINATA, AND THE FLOWERS OF APOCYNUM.* * RAYMOND C. OSBURN. The flowers of the various species of the dogbane, Apocynum spp., have long been known to catch some of the weaker sorts of insects attracted by them, but as far as I am aware, no such wholesale slaughter of a particular species as that herein •described has been noted. In fact, if I may judge by the con- versations which I have held with both botanists and entomol- ogists, the capacity of the dogbane for trapping insects has pretty generally escaped notice. My own attention was drawn to the subject last summer "when Miss Edith Weston, a young student of botany at the Ohio State University Lake Laboratory at Put-in-Bay, brought in some flowers of Apocynum androscemifolium and called my attention to the fact that the flowers had "bugs" in them. A glance at the flowers showed that there were insects in nearly all of them and that these were all of one species, the common little Syrphid fly, Mesogramma marginata (Say). Many of these were still alive, though evidently held in such a manner that they could not escape. As the flowers are open bells, my curiosity was aroused and I began a careful examination. Having in mind the related milkweed, Asclepias, whose flower clusters sometimes entangle the legs of insects by a sticky secretion, I was a little surprised to find that all of the flies in the Apocynum flowers were held by the proboscis. As many as four were present in some of the flowers, the little bell being as full as it would hold.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e57331. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e57331 Abstract Syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a cosmopolitan group of flower-visiting insects, though their diversity and importance as pollinators is understudied and often unappreciated. Data on 1,477 Syrphid occurrences and floral associations from three years of pollinator collection (2017-2019) in the Southern Illinois region of Illinois, United States, are here compiled and analyzed. We collected 69 species in 36 genera off of the flowers of 157 plant species. While a richness of 69 species is greater than most other families of flower-visiting insects in our region, a species accumulation curve and regional species pool estimators suggest that at least 33 species are yet uncollected.

Hemiptera, Aphidoidea, bio-ecological groups, community structure, protected habitats, loss of biodiversity, human impact, NMDS methods, regional hotspots Abstract. This paper examines the changes in the species composition of aphids living in dry calcareous grasslands in Central Europe over a 25-year period. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fi rst analysis of this type in the world that takes into account both previous and current data on species richness as well as groups of aphids that are distinguishable on the basis of biological and ecological criteria such as host-alternation and feeding types, life cycle, ecological niche, symbiosis with ants and their eco- logical functional groups. Over the period of more than 25 years, there has been a signifi cant decrease in aphid α-diversity, from 171 to 105 species.

Dr. Peær Bailey deserves a very special appreciation for sound supervision, patience and criticism. Special thanks to Dr. Roger Laughlin who spent a lot of time reading and criticising this thesis, even though he had retired.

Indigenous syrphid larvae attack the lettuce aphid and are believed to be effective in the Available online xxxx management of this invasive pest, although there have been no studies on the capacity of the syrphid lar- vae to kill and consume lettuce aphids. We focused on four syrphid species commonly found in central Keywords: coast lettuce fields: Allograpta obliqua (Say), Eupeodes fumipennis (Thomson), Sphaerophoria sulphuripes Biological control (Thomson), and Toxomerus marginatus (Say). Laboratory feeding experiments were conducted to estimate Aphididae the development times of all juvenile stages, the daily growth rate of larvae, the number of third instar Syrphidae Predation potential aphids killed, the aphid biomass killed, and the aphid biomass consumed as measures of predator perfor- Lettuce mance. Results show that during larval development E. fumipennis killed the most third-instar aphids (507 aphids, 88 mg biomass killed) and reached the largest size, followed by A. obliqua (228 aphids, 39 mg killed), S.

  • Development and Survival of Aulacorthum Solani, Macrosiphum Euphorbiae and Uroleucon Ambrosiae at Six Temperatures
    Bulletin of Insectology 64 (1): 63-68, 2011 ISSN 1721-8861 Development and survival of Aulacorthum solani, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Uroleucon ambrosiae at six temperatures 1 1 2 3 Bruno Freitas DE CONTI , Vanda Helena Paes BUENO , Marcus V.

VAN LENTEREN 1Departamento de Entomologia, Universidade Federal de Lavras, MG, Brazil 2Instituto de Ciências Agrárias, Universidade Federal de Uberlandia, MG, Brazil 3Laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen University, The Netherlands Abstract Temperature is one of the most important factors in determining the survival and developmental rate of aphids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the developmental time and survival of the aphid species Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach), Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) and Uroleucon ambrosiae (Thomas) (Rhynchota Aphididae) at six constant temperatures. Tests were con- ducted on lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.) in climate chambers at 16, 19, 22, 25, 28 and 31 ± 1 °C, 70 ± 10% RH and 12 h pho- tophase. At high temperatures these species showed lower rates of survival than at low temperatures, and at 31 °C no aphids reached adulthood. The highest survival rates and the shortest developmental times were observed between 16 and 22 °C. The lower temperature threshold (Tb) and thermal constant (K) for A. solani and M. euphorbiae were 1.09 and 1.05 °C and 142.9 and 144.9 degrees-day (DD), respectively, while for U. ambrosiae these parameters could not be estimated. The highest survival rate and short developmental time found at 22 °C indicate that this temperature is optimal for development of A. solani and M. eu- phorbiae, whereas the optimal temperature for U.
