Managing the Sphaeralcea Weevil • Adults are easily found with a sweep net – Regular samples beginning at late bud • If found, take a decision quickly – Thresholds??? – How many flowers can you lose? – How much compensation for lost flowers? – How many eggs per weevil? • Sprays need to be bee-friendly Bee Friendly Insecticide Applications • Pre bloom sprays using pyrethroids • Night time applications during bloom – Use “flash” insecticides w/ no residual – Dibrom is used in seed alfalfa – Moisture must be monitored! • Moisture + insecticides = dead bees Lomatium Seed Weevil Smicronyx sp. Taking a Life History SWAG Smicronyx fulvus: Red sunflower seed weevil Smicronyx sordidus: Gray sunflower seed weevil • Eggs laid late bud to early bud growth stage • Females need pollen to mature eggs – Monitor with DEET, sweep net in Lomatium?? • Larvae are internal developing seed feeders – Lomatium has small seed: different life history? • Pupation in soil after larvae drop from plant – Larvae emerging in storage will die!

Bandung 40391, Indonesia c Indonesian Center for Horticulture Research and Development, Jl. Raya Ragunan Pasar Minggu - Jakarta Selatan 12540, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Introduction General basis and protocol for classical biological control Biological control is defined as "the action of parasites (parasitoids), predators or pathogens in Maintaining another organism's population density at a lower average than would occur in their absence" (Debach 1964). Thus, biological control represents the combined effects of a natural enemy complex in suppressing pest populations. The concept of biological control arose from the observed differences in abundance of many animals and plants in their native range compared to areas in which they had been introduced in the absence of (co-evolved) natural enemies. As such, populations of introduced pests, unregulated by their natural enemies may freely multiply and rise to much higher levels than previously observed. Biological control is a component of natural control which describes environmental checks on pest buildup (Debach 1964). In agriculture, both the environment (i.e. farming systems) and natural enemies may be manipulated in an attempt to reduce pest pressure. Classical biological control concerns the search for natural enemies in a pest's area of origin, followed by quarantine and importation into locations where the pest has been introduced.

  • Of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
    Belgian Journal ofEntomology 5 (2003) : 89-102 A review of the Oedemeridae (Coleoptera) of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador Stewart B. PECK and Joyce COOK Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, K1S 5B6, Canada (e-mail: ste'[email protected]). Abstract Extensive new collections contribute new information on the identity and distribution of the oedemerid beetles of the Galiipagos Islands. Specimens previously recorded as near Oxacis pilosa CHAMPION are descn'bed as Oxycopis galapagoensis sp. n. Oxacis pilosa CHAMPION of Guatemala and Nicaragua is transferred to the genus Oxycopis. Hypasclera collenettei (BLAIR) is the most common and widespread species in the islands, and is variable in that it shows significant differences in aedeagus morphology between separate islands. Alloxacis hoodi V AN DYKE is found be a synonym of H. collenettei. H. seymourensis (MUTCHLER) is known only from the central islands. Paroxacis galapagoensis (LINELL) is also widespread. All four Galapagos species are presently considered to be endemic, and each represents a separate ancestral colonization of the archipelago. Keywords: · Hypasclera, Oxycopis, Paroxacis, island insects, endemic species, colonization. Introduction Members of the beetle family Oedemeridae are commonly called the false blister beetles. Adults are found frequently at lights or by sweeping vegetation, and they are obligate pollen feeders (AR.NETT, 1984). Larvae may feed on plant roots or may be inhabitants of moist decaying wood and some may live in salt-soaked driftwood (ARNETT, 1984, KrusKA, 2002). Oedemerids have been described and reported from the Galapagos by several workers: BLAIR (1928; 1933); F'RANZ (1985); LINELL (1898); MUTCHLER (1938); and VAN DYKE (1953).

  • 197 Section 9 Sunflower (Helianthus
    SECTION 9 SUNFLOWER (HELIANTHUS ANNUUS L.) 1. Taxonomy of the Genus Helianthus, Natural Habitat and Origins of the Cultivated Sunflower A. Taxonomy of the genus Helianthus The sunflower belongs to the genus Helianthus in the Composite family (Asterales order), which includes species with very diverse morphologies (herbs, shrubs, lianas, etc.). The genus Helianthus belongs to the Heliantheae tribe. This includes approximately 50 species originating in North and Central America. The basis for the botanical classification of the genus Helianthus was proposed by Heiser et al. (1969) and refined subsequently using new phenological, cladistic and biosystematic methods, (Robinson, 1979; Anashchenko, 1974, 1979; Schilling and Heiser, 1981) or molecular markers (Sossey-Alaoui et al., 1998). This approach splits Helianthus into four sections: Helianthus, Agrestes, Ciliares and Atrorubens. This classification is set out in Table 1.18. Section Helianthus This section comprises 12 species, including H. annuus, the cultivated sunflower. These species, which are diploid (2n = 34), are interfertile and annual in almost all cases. For the majority, the natural distribution is central and western North America. They are generally well adapted to dry or even arid areas and sandy soils. The widespread H. annuus L. species includes (Heiser et al., 1969) plants cultivated for seed or fodder referred to as H. annuus var. macrocarpus (D.C), or cultivated for ornament (H. annuus subsp. annuus), and uncultivated wild and weedy plants (H. annuus subsp. lenticularis, H. annuus subsp. Texanus, etc.). Leaves of these species are usually alternate, ovoid and with a long petiole. Flower heads, or capitula, consist of tubular and ligulate florets, which may be deep purple, red or yellow.
