Fifty-nine species are new records for Panama and 12 of them are new records for Central America. Eleven species are of Neotropical origin and 17 are of Nearctic origin. Forty-four species own their presence in Panama to direct or indirect anthropogenic introduction. The catalogue records 227 “aphid species/host-plant species” relationships, with 25 new records “aphid species/host-plant genus”. KEY WORDS: Aphid, Phylloxerid, Central America RESUMEN - Se establece el catálogo de los áfi dos y fi loxéridos de Panamá, respectivamente con 71 y one especies. Se citan por vez primera en Panamá 59 especies de áfi dos y 12 de ellas por primera vez en América Central. Once especies son de origen neotropical y 17 tienen origen neártico; 44 especies tienen otros orígenes y su presencia en Panamá se ha de deber directa o indirectamente a introducciones antrópicas. -
New Zealand's Genetic Diversity
1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial. INTRODUCTION Article 10b of the CBD calls for signatories to ‘Adopt The original brief for this chapter was to review New Zealand’s measures relating to the use of biological resources [i.e. genetic genetic resources. The OECD defi nition of genetic resources resources] to avoid or minimize adverse impacts on biological is ‘genetic material of plants, animals or micro-organisms of diversity [e.g. genetic diversity]’ (my parentheses). -

Henry 2 Corymbia citriodora is a member of the predominantly Southern Hemisphere Myrtaceae family, which includes the eucalypts (Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora; ~800 species). 1234567890():,; Corymbia is grown for timber, pulp and paper, and essential oils in Australia, South Africa, Asia, and Brazil, maintaining a high-growth rate under marginal conditions due to drought, poor-quality soil, and biotic stresses. To dissect the genetic basis of these desirable traits, we sequenced and assembled the 408 Mb genome of Corymbia citriodora, anchored into eleven chromosomes. Comparative analysis with Eucalyptus grandis reveals high synteny, although the two diverged approximately 60 million years ago and have different genome sizes (408 vs 641 Mb), with few large intra-chromosomal rearrangements. -

The Mechanism by Which Aphids Adhere to Smooth Surfaces
J. exp. Biol. 152, 243-253 (1990) 243 Printed in Great Britain © The Company of Biologists Limited 1990 THE MECHANISM BY WHICH APHIDS ADHERE TO SMOOTH SURFACES BY A. F. G. DIXON, P. C. CROGHAN AND R. P. GOWING School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ Accepted 30 April 1990 Summary 1. The adhesive force acting between the adhesive organs and substratum for a number of aphid species has been studied. In the case of Aphis fabae, the force per foot is about 10/iN. This is much the same on both glass (amphiphilic) and silanized glass (hydrophobic) surfaces. The adhesive force is about 20 times greater than the gravitational force tending to detach each foot of an inverted aphid. 2. The mechanism of adhesion was considered. Direct van der Waals forces and viscous force were shown to be trivial and electrostatic force and muscular force were shown to be improbable. An adhesive force resulting from surface tension at an air-fluid interface was shown to be adequate and likely. 3. Evidence was collected that the working fluid of the adhesive organ has the properties of a dilute aqueous solution of a surfactant. There is a considerable reserve of fluid, presumably in the cuticle of the adhesive organ. Introduction The mechanism by which certain insects can walk on smooth vertical and even inverted surfaces has long interested entomologists and recently there have been several studies on this subject (Stork, 1980; Wigglesworth, 1987; Lees and Hardie, 1988). The elegant study of Lees and Hardie (1988) on the feet of the vetch aphid Megoura viciae Buckt. -

Quambalaria Leaf and Shoot Blight on Eucalyptus Nitens in South Africa
CSIRO PUBLISHING www.publish.csiro.au/journals/app Australasian Plant Pathology, 2006, 35, 427–433 Quambalaria leaf and shoot blight on Eucalyptus nitens in South Africa J. RouxA,B, Z. L. MthalaneA, Z. W. de BeerA, B. EisenbergA and M. J. WingfieldA ADepartment of Microbiology and Plant Pathology, Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP), Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. BCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Quambalaria spp. cause leaf and shoot dieback diseases on young Eucalyptus trees in Australia, Thailand, South America and South Africa. The disease was first recorded in South Africa in the early 1990s but has been restricted to nurseries in the subtropical north-east coastal area of the country, without resulting in great effect. Recent disease surveys in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa have revealed extensive shoot and leaf dieback, as well as stem cankers on 1-year-old E. nitens trees. Some symptoms of the disease resembled Quambalaria leaf and shoot blight. However, this was the first time it had occurred on the stems of larger trees, on E. nitens or in the cold temperate region of the country. The aim of this study was to identify the causal agent of the disease and to test different Eucalyptus spp. and clones of relevance to the South African forestry industry for their susceptibility to the pathogen. Comparisons of DNA sequence data for the ITS and 5.8S regions were used to identify the fungus. Results showed that the pathogen represented Q. eucalypti. Inoculation trials showed that all the material tested was susceptible to infection by Q. -

The adult of Pauropsylla buxtoni (Laing, 1924) comb. nov. is redescribed and the previously unknown immatures are described. Illustrations are provided for both adults and immatures. Immatures of P. buxtoni infest leaves of Ficus carica and induce conspicuous galls. The species is a pest on cultivated figs in the Palestinian Territories. Four successive phases in the formation and development of the galls can be recognised in which the five immature instars ofP. buxtoni develop. The gall size increased significantly when the instar length increased and there were significant differences in the susceptibility of fig cultivars to psyllid infestation. The life cycle ofP. buxtoni is univoltine with no significant differences between cultivars. Key words: Triozidae, description, immatures, life cycle, cultivar, susceptibility, gall development.
