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.

Ant–Treehopper Associations Deter Pollinators and Reduce Reproduction in a Tropical Shrub

Indirect effects of mutualism: ant– treehopper associations deter pollinators and reduce reproduction in a tropical shrub Javier Ibarra-Isassi & Paulo S.

Oliveira1 Received: 22 September 2017 / Accepted: 10 December 2017 / Published online: 15 December 2017 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2017 Abstract Animal-pollinated plants can be susceptible to changes in pollinator availability. Honeydew-producing treehoppers fre- quently occur on inforescences, potentially enhancing ant-mediated negative efects on pollination services. However, the efect of ant-attended, honeydew-producing insects on plant reproduction remains uncertain. We recorded the abundance of treehoppers and ants on Byrsonima intermedia (Malpighiaceae), and monitored foral visitors in a Brazilian cerrado savanna. We manipulated the presence of ants and ant–treehopper associations on inforescences to assess their efect on pollination and fruit formation. We used dried ants pinned to inforescences to evaluate the efect of ant presence and ant identity on potential pollinators. Results show that the presence of treehoppers increases ant abundance on fowers and disrupts pollination by oil-collecting bees, decreasing the frequency and duration of foral visits and reducing fruit and seed set. Treehopper herbivory has no direct efect on fruit or seed production, which are independent of treehopper density.

Treehoppers Several Species Order Hemiptera, Family Membracidae; Treehoppers Native Pests

Pests of Trees and Shrubs Treehoppers Several species Order Hemiptera, Family Membracidae; treehoppers Native pests Host plants: Treehoppers are found on many tree species and are most commonly on young trees and perennial weeds. Oviposition damage caused by treehopper adult females. (241) Description: Treehoppers are small insects, usually less Photo: John Davidson than one-half inch long. They are called “treehoppers” because upon being approached they jump or hop away with a loud snap. They have a pronotum that is enlarged and developed into horns, knobs and other strange shapes. Males and females of the same species, however, can sometimes have very different pronotal shapes or colors. Life history: Adult females deposit eggs singly or in masses, either inserted directly into living tissue or on the surface of the plant. Females of some species cover their eggs with a frothy substance that hardens when dry. The eggs of most species remain in the plant through the winter and hatch in spring. Some adult females guard their eggs and remain with their young throughout their Treehopper adult. (242) development. Nymphs molt five times prior to reaching Photo: John Davidson the adult stage. Treehoppers usually have one or more generations per year. Overwintering: Eggs on host plants. Damage symptoms: Primary injury is caused by the females cutting into the bark to lay their eggs. Nymphs and adults also feed on plant tissue and suck cell fluids with their sharp, needle-like mouth parts. Monitoring: Monitor by hand sweeping young trees and shrubs with a net. Monitor for adults from early July to the end of October, or until the first frost.
Spissistilus Festinus

ESTABLISHMENT OF THREECORNERED ALFALFA HOPPER (SPISSISTILUS FESTINUS) AS A PEST OF PEANUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA) by BRENDAN ALLEN BEYER (Under the Direction of Mark R. Abney) ABSTRACT Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the economic injury level of the threecornered alfalfa hopper, Spissistilus festinus, (Say), using early and late season infestations, and increasing levels of nymphal infestation rates in cages to isolate the plants from outside S. festinus populations. Significant yield and plant biomass losses in both field and greenhouse settings were recorded only when using damage as a metric. Greenhouse observations noted a significant preference of feeding based on instar and plant maturity. A second experiment was implemented to establish the foundation for a comprehensive sampling program of S. festinus in peanut using the sweep net and beat sheet as relative samples of adults and nymphs, respectively, to compare to absolute samples of nymphs and the progression of damage. Sampling indicates the possibility of using sweep nets and beat sheets to estimate the true population and damage based on the time of season.

BENNETT2 1University of Florida, Tropical Research and Education Center, 18905 S.W. 280th Street, Homestead, FL 33031 2University of Florida, Department of Entomology and Nematology, 970 Hull Road, Gainesville, FL 32611 ABSTRACT Two hundred and ninety-six species of arthropods are associated with Annona spp. The genus Bephratelloides (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) and the species Cerconota anonella (Sepp) (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae) are the most serious pests of Annona spp. Host plant and distribution are given for each pest species. Key Words: Annona, arthropods, Insecta. RESUMEN Doscientas noventa y seis especies de arthrópodos están asociadas con Annona spp. en el Neotrópico. De las especies mencionadas, el género Bephratelloides (Hyme- noptera: Eurytomidae) y la especie Cerconota anonella (Sepp) (Lepidoptera: Oecopho- ridae) sobresalen como las plagas mas importantes de Annona spp. Se mencionan las plantas hospederas y la distribución de cada especie. The genus Annona is conﬁned almost entirely to tropical and subtropical America and the Caribbean region (Safford 1914). Edible species include Annona muricata L. (soursop), A. squamosa L. (sugar apple), A. cherimola Mill. (cherimoya), and A. retic- ulata L. (custard apple). Each geographical region has its own distinctive pest fauna, composed of indigenous and introduced species (Bennett & Alam 1985, Brathwaite et al. 1986, Brunner et al. 1975, D’Araujo et al. 1968, Medina-Gaud et al. 1989, Peña et al. 1984, Posada 1989, Venturi 1966). These reports place emphasis on the broader as- pects of pest species. Some recent regional reviews of the status of important pests and their control have been published in Puerto Rico, U.S.A., Colombia, Venezuela, the Caribbean Region and Chile (Medina-Gaud et al.

L. (Rosaceae)] for consumption from continental Spain into the continental United States. Based on the scientific literature, port-of-entry pest interception data, and information from the government of Spain, we developed a list of all potential pests with actionable regulatory status for the continental United States that are known to occur in continental Spain and that are known to be associated with the commodity plant species anywhere in the world. From this list, we identified and further analyzed 9 organisms that have a reasonable likelihood of being associated with the commodity following harvesting from the field and prior to any post-harvest processing. Of the pests
