    STUDY GUIDE ENTOMOLOGY & NEMATOLOGY DEPARTMENT DPM COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS The Entomology & Nematology Comprehensive Examinations consist of 3 sections: pest identification (30%), pest biology and management (40%), and core concepts and synthesis (30%). These examinations are limited to information about invertebrate animal pests, principally insects and nematodes, but also plant feeding mites and terrestrial molluscs. A. Pest identification Students will be presented with insects, mites, molluscs, and nematodes that they must identify. Some may be recognizable by sight, but others may require keys for identification. Students will be provided with identification aids (keys), where necessary, and be expected to use them to identify the subjects accurately. The unknowns will be selected from the list of important insect, mite, mollusc, and nematode pests (Table 1) though we will emphasize those with a single or double asterisk [* or **]), as these normally are the more important pests. Included in this list are some that pose a threat but are not currently found in Florida. B. Pest biology and management Students will answer 8-10 questions on insect, mite, mollusc, and nematode pest biology (sampling, distribution, life cycle, damage) and management. The animals for which students are responsible to know biology and management are listed in Table 1 (preceded by double asterisk [**]). C. Core Concepts and Synthesis Section: Students will answer 3 or 4 questions that cover core areas of Entomology/Nematology and demonstrate knowledge of core areas, but also analysis and problem solving. Suggested reference/reading material is listed in Table 2. You might want to read through these in preparation for the Comprehensive Examinations.

  • Spatial Ecology of the Palm-Leaf Skeletonizer, Homaledra Sabelella (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae)
    Spatial Ecology of the Palm-Leaf Skeletonizer, Homaledra sabelella (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) James T. Cronin* Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States of America Abstract Understanding the processes that determine the distribution of populations is a fundamental goal in ecology. In this study, I determined the relative contribution of space and the biotic and abiotic environment to the distribution of the palm-leaf skeletonizer Homaledra sabalella (PLS; Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) among patchily distributed dwarf palmettos (Sabal minor; Arecaceae). Based on surveys conducted at two sites in the Sherburne Wildlife Management Area, Louisiana, I found that the distribution of the PLS was primarily related to local environmental conditions – number of PLS increased with palmetto height, was greater in dry versus wet habitats, and varied in an inconsistent way with the type of understory cover. Spatial structure of the forest and isolation of the host plant were of minor importance to the distribution of the PLS. Based on a series of experiments, the mechanisms underlying the effects of these environmental variables on PLS abundance were elucidated. Tall palmettos have a greater abundance of PLS because they are 2.5 times more likely to be colonized than small palmettos. Tall palmettos do not represent better hosts (in terms of PLS survival to pupation, pupal length, or risk of parasitism). Similarly, an open understory increased colonization by two-fold, relative to a shrub understory, but understory type had no effect on host quality. Wet soils greatly reduced palmetto quality as a host (survival and pupal length), but only for the smallest palmettos (,0.75 m height).

    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

Epimarptis hiranoi sp. n. is described on the basis of specimens collected at several localities in Honshû, Japan. The following characters are illustrated: the habitus, head appendages, wing locking system and venation, thoracic and abdominal skeletons, abdominal vestiture, and genitalia. E. hiranoi is the fourth member of the genus Epimarptis Meyrick, 1914 and the first representative discovered in regions other than South Asia. It can be distinguished from congeneric species in the colouration of the forewing. In the thoracic skeletons, the new species has several characters not found in other genera of Coleophoridae s. !.. Key words. Epimarptis hiranoi sp. n., Japan, head appendages, thoracic skeletons, genitalia, Epimarptis, Coleophoridae s. 1.. Introduction Meyrick (1914) established the genus Epimarptis to describe the type species, Epimarptis philocoma Meyrick, 1914. Up until now the genus had been represented by three species (Meyrick 1914, 1917, 1931, 1936): philocoma was recorded from Bombay, India, E.

  • Moths of Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge
    U.S. Fish Fish & & Wildlife Wildlife Service Service Moths of Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge Established in 1994, the nearly 30,000-acre Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge is a remnant of what was once a much larger, frequently flooded, bottomland hardwood forest. You are still able to view vast expanses of ridge and swale floodplain features, numerous bayous, oxbow lakes, and cypress/tupelo swamps along the Trinity River. It is one of only 14 priority-one bottomland sites identified for protection in the Texas Bottomland Protection Plan. Texas is home to an estimated 4,000 species of moths. Most of the over 600 species of moths listed below were photographed around the security lights at the Refuge Headquarters building located adjacent to a bottomland hardwood forest. Many more moths are not even attracted to lights, so additional surveys will need to be conducted to document those species.

  • Notes on the Winter Lepidoptera of Lake Worth, Florida
    446 ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY NOTES ON THE WINTER LEPIDOPTERA OF LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA. By HARRISON G. DYAR. The strip of land between Lake Worth and the Atlantic Ocean, in Florida, was visited by me in January and February, 1890, and again in 1900. During this interval often years a rail road has been built and two large hotels erected in what, at the time of my first visit, was nearly primitive vegetation. The strip of land is about half a mile wide in the central part in the vicinity of Palm Beach, and is divided longitudinally by an area " " " of swampland into a beach hammock and lake hammock." The former extends the length of the lake, but the latter only for the upper portion, disappearing below and ending in a chain of small islands. This limited area has three different regions : (i) the hammock land or forest, (2) the swamp, and (3) the beach region. The forest covers the crests of the two ridges parallel to the lake. The large trees are the mastic (Sideroxylon palliduni), gumbo-limbo {Bursera gummiferd], palmetto (Sabal palmetto], rubbber trees (JFicus aurea, pedunczilata, etc.), bay (Ncctandra willdenoviand] and poison oak (Rhus metopium), with an undergrowth of Foresticraporulosa, Randia aculeata, Ardisia pickeringia, Condalia ferrea, Coccoloba floridana, Amyris floridana, etc., united by vines of Pisonia aculeata, Chiococca racemosa, Ipomaea spp. etc., all forming a dense and tangled mass of vegetation with no very large or tall trees. The swamp is mainly filled with saw-grass \Spartinajuncca) and a few other marsh plants. In the dryer parts are bushes of swamp cedar (Iva frutescens], and a few mangroves (Rhizo- but these latter are commoner the shore phora mangle) ; along of the lake where white mangrove \Laguncularia raccnwsa) and oak also occur.
