  • Numbers and Types of Arthropods Overwintering on Common Mullein, Verbascum Thapsus L

    Numbers and Types of Arthropods Overwintering on Common Mullein, Verbascum Thapsus L

    J. ENTOMOL. SOC. BRIT. COLUMBIA 100, DECEMBER 2003 79 Numbers and types of arthropods overwintering on common mullein, Verbascum thapsus L. (Scrophulariaceae), in a central Washington fruit-growing region DAVID R. HORTON and TAMERA M. LEWIS USDA-ARS, 5230 KONNOWAC PASS Rd., WAPATO, WA, UNITED STATES 98951 ABSTRACT Densities and types of arthropods overwintering on common mullein, Verbascum thapsus L., in a fruit-growing region of Central Washington were determined. Over 45,000 arthropods were collected from 55 plants (5 plants from each of 11 sites), dominated numerically by Acari and Thysanoptera. Insects representing 8 orders and 29 families were identified, distributed both in the basal leaf rosettes and in the stalk material of the plants. One specialist insect herbivore of mullein, the mullein thrips, Haplothrips verbasci (Osborn), was abundant at all sites. Several pest and predatory taxa that commonly occur in orchards were also collected, suggesting that mullein may be a source of overwintered pests or predators moving into orchards in early spring. Pest taxa included primarily western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)), Lygus spp., and tetranychid spider mites. Common predators included phytoseiid mites and minute pirate bugs (Orius tristicolor (White)). Sites that were geographically close to one another were not more similar (in taxonomic composition of overwintering arthropods) than more distantly separated sites. Key words: common mullein, overwintering, orchard pests, predatory arthropods, mullein thrips, western flower thrips, Orius tristicolor, mites INTRODUCTION Common mullein, Verbascum thapsus L. (Scrophulariaceae), is a biennial herb native to Eurasia (Munz 1959) but now common throughout North America. The species occurs in open waste areas, along fence lines, in overgrazed pastures, and along river bottoms, often found growing in large single-species stands.

In Europe, it is an indige- nous species, commonly found on various plants, including conifers. The present study examined whether A. andersoni can develop and reproduce while feeding on two key pests of ornamental coniferous plants, i.e., Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) and Pentamerismus taxi (Haller). Pinus sylvestris L. pollen was also tested as an alternative food source for the predator. Both prey species and pine pollen were suitable food sources for A. andersoni. Although higher values of population parameters Citation: Puchalska, E.; were observed when the predator fed on mites compared to the pollen alternative, we conclude that Zagrodzki, S.K.; Kozak, M.; pine pollen may provide adequate sustenance for A.

(eds) Acarology XIII: Proceedings of the International Congress. Zoosymposia, 6, 1–304. Abstract Damages caused by pests to leaves can indirectly affect populations of other associated arthropods. The relative abun - dance of mites was compared across young healthy leaves, mature healthy leaves and mature leaves damaged by the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton, on grapefruit in Florida and Texas. The spider mite Eotetranychus sex - maculatus (Riley) (Tetranychidae) was significantly more abundant on mined leaves in Florida, whereas in Texas tetranychids were found sporadically. Predaceous phytoseiid mites (Phytoseiidae) were significantly more abundant on mature mined leaves than on mature leaves without mines. Iphiseiodes quadripilis (Banks) (n= 139), Typhlodromalus peregrinus (Muma) (n= 122) and Euseius mesembrinus (Dean) (n= 18) were the most abundant phy - toseiids in Florida; E. mesembrinus was the dominant species in Texas [>90% of identified specimens (n=13)]. Although relatively high numbers of predaceous stigmaeid mites (Stigmaeidae) were found in some occasions in Florida, they had a patchy distribution, resulting in no significant differences between mined and unmined leaf types in most sampling dates.

Viticulture is characterized by relatively high pesticide inputs, which could decrease arthropod populations and biological pest control in vineyards. This problem could be counteracted with management practices such as the implementation of diverse vegetation cover in the vineyard inter-rows, reduced pesticide input in integrated or organic vineyards, and a di- verse landscape with trees and hedges.

    Residual Toxicities of Pesticides to the Predaceous Mite Galendromus Helveolus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on Texas Citrus

    Subtropical Plant Science, 55: 40-45.2003 Residual Toxicities of Pesticides to the Predaceous Mite Galendromus helveolus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on Texas Citrus Tian-Ye Chen1,J.Victor French1,Tong-Xian Liu2 and John V. da Graça1 1Citrus Center, Texas A&M University-Kingsville, 312 N. International Blvd., Weslaco, TX 78596 2Veg etable IPM Laboratory, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, Texas A&M University, 2415 E. Highway 83, Weslaco, TX 78596 ABSTRACT Galendromus helveolus (Chant) is one of the most prevalent predaceous mite species found on Texas citrus. Bioassay experiments were undertaken to assess the residual toxicity of six commonly used citrus pesticides to G. helveolus. Oxamyl (Vydate® L) and pyridaben (Nexter® 75WP) were highly toxic to G. helveolus, with adult mortality recorded until 6 days post-spray. Dicofol (Kelthane® MF) and fenbutatin-oxide (Vendex® 50WP) were moderately toxic to adults, with residual mortality recorded 2 days and 1 day post-spray, respectively. Abamectin (Agri-Mek® 0.15EC) was slightly toxic, with the residual killing effect existing less than 1 day post-spray. Diflubenzuron (Micromite® 25WS) was innocuous to G. helveolus, with no significant adverse effects on adult survival, fecundity and egg viability when exposed to the pesticide residues. RESUMEN Galendromus helveolus (Chant) es una de las especies mas comunes de ácaros predatores que se encuentran en cítricos en Texas. Se realizaron bioensayos para evaluar la toxicidad residual de 6 pesticidas usados comúnmente en cítricos sobre G. helveolus. Oxamyl (Vydate® L) y pyridaben (Nexter® 75 WP) fueron altamente tóxicos a G. helveolus,registrándose mortalidad en adultos hasta 6 días después de la aspersión.

Ce travail de thèse avait donc pour objectif de répondre à de telles questions pour deux genres : Phytoseiulus et Neoseiulella, en utilisant pour la première fois des approches phylogénétiques moléculaires et morphologiques. Ces études phylogénétiques ont été également associées à des études biogéographiques. Les résultats obtenus par ces deux approches sont congruents et semblent montrer que ces deux genres ne sont pas monophylétiques : le genre Phytoseiulus semble au mieux paraphylétique, tandis que le genre Neoseiulella serait polyphylétique.

    Ambulatory and Aerial Dispersal Among Specialist and Generalist Phytoseiid

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Chuleui Jung for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on January 11. 2001. Title: Ambulatory and Aerial Dispersal Among Specialist and Generalist Phytoseiid Mites Redacted for Privacy Abstractap oft Specialist and generalist phytoseiid mites are widely used for biological control of spider mites. Understanding dispersal attributes of these mites is important to implementing more stable, cost-efficient integrated pest management. In this regard, we studied dispersal of phytoseiid mites from a local ambulatory phase of movement within a prey patch to a longer-range phase that includes emigration (aerial take-off and dispersal distance) and immigration to a new plant. Specialist phytoseiids showed higher ambulatory and aerial dispersal than generalist species. Somewhat different dispersal strategies were seen between Neoseiulusfallacis (more specialized predator) and N calfornicus (more generalized predator): The most important difference was earlier and continuous dispersal of N californicus from a prey patch. Cues from spider mite infestation suppressed the dispersal rates for specialists, but either increased or did not change the dispersal rates for generalist phytoseiids. Aerodynamic calculations support the hypothesis that Phytoseiulus persimilis may not require a standing take-off behavior to become airborne. However, with less vertical profile, a mite may become airborne more by standing erect (N fallacis), than a species that does not show standing take-off (N calfornicus). Jumping behavior by P. persimilis was observed for the first time among Phytoseiidae. Falling speed ranged from 0.4 to 0.73 mIs for 13 phytoseiid species and 0.79 to 0.81 for two-spotted spider mite.
