[Abstract: The 2012 southern pine beetle (SPB) outbreak on the Homochitto National Forest in SW Mississippi was the first since 1995. The outbreak produced over 900 separate multi-tree spot infestations across seven counties, with over 800 infestations affecting over 1,300 acres on the Homochitto itself. Cut & Leave was implemented on 350 separate spots (including 37 breakouts), covering nearly 1,000 acres throughout the forest, with 11 spots treated by cut & remove. Early detection of initial spot activity followed by rapid implementation of suppression treatments protected thousands of acres of pine forests on the National Forests and the surrounding state and private lands. The suppression project cost approx. $1.3 million and included unprecedented funding from Fire, in addition to emergency funds from the Regional and Washington Office. In the fall/winter of 2012, nine active red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees were attacked by SPB, yet only five of these trees eventually died. In preparation for a potential continuation and/or worsening of the outbreak in 2013, a strategic planning document based on varying funding levels was prepared. This document can serve as a guide for other Nationals Forests threatened by SPB activity. The SPB outbreak abated on the Homochitto in 2013, with only 15 new infestations detected by late summer, two of which required control. Beetle activity on the Bienville NF also declined in 2013 (three new spots), but remained steady on the Tombigbee National Forest (34 new spots).] SPB Prevention Program. – John Nowak. Thinning and burning evaluation on National Forests in Mississippi. – John Nowak, Jim Meeker, Chris Steiner, David Coyle, and Cavell Brownie. [Abstract: Since 2003, the Southern Pine Beetle (SPB) Prevention Program has encouraged and provided financial assistance for silvicultural treatments to reduce stand susceptibility through 13 State and 12 National Forest (NF) programs, with more than one million acres treated. These treatments include thinning to reduce stand basal area and prescribed 9 burning to reduce understory competition, both of which increase the openness of the stand. More open stand conditions (e.g. fewer trees per acre and less understory competition) increase light penetration to the forest floor, generating more air flow and turbulence in a stand and, disrupting pheromone plumes important for SPB spot development and growth. Until now, there were no landscape-level tests of the efficacy of this program on forest susceptibility to SPB outbreaks. In 2012, we evaluated past thinning and burning treatments during a SPB outbreak on the Homochitto and Bienville NFs in Mississippi. The study treatments were a) thinned (since 2005) without SPB; b) unthinned without SPB; and c) unthinned with SPB. In the Homochitto NF, only 2 of the 793 SPB spots occurred in thinned stands, while all 76 SPB spots in the Bienville NF occurred in unthinned stands, with no SPB spots occurring in thinned stands. Unthinned stands in both NFs had higher basal area and more trees per acre than thinned stands. Pine diameter (DBH) and height were greater in unthinned stands with SPB compared to unthinned stands without SPB. Additionally, unthinned stands without SPB were more likely to have been burned, or burned more frequently and recently than unthinned stands with SPB. These data indicate

NATURE OF WORK Xylosandrus crassiusculus (granulate ambrosia beetle, GAB) and X. germanus (black stem borer, BSB) are considered the most destructive insect pests to the nursery crop industry. These beetles usually mass attack nursery crops in spring, causing important loss due to the negative effect on the plant growth, aesthetic, economic value and unmarketable tree quality (Ranger et al., 2016). Ambrosia beetles bore sapwood and inoculate the galleries with fungi, which are collectively named as ambrosia fungi. These fungi are derived from plant pathogens in the ascomycete group identified as ophiostomatoid fungi (Farrell et al., 2001). Ambrosial fungus garden is the food source for ambrosia beetles and larvae. According to the field and container nursery growers of southeastern USA, GAB was ranked third as a key pest, 18% nursery growers identified it as prevalent and difficult to control. In Tennessee, Cnestus mutilatus (camphor shot borer, CSB) was found widely distributed and considered a new pest for nursery crops with unknown magnitude of damage (Oliver et al., 2012). Camphor shot borer was first reported from Kentucky in 2013, although a single specimen was found in Whitley Co., it was believed it would be everywhere in the state due to its wide spread in the neighboring states (Leavengood, 2013). The main objective of this study was to determine the phenology of the most abundant invasive ambrosia beetles in western Kentucky.

    Effect of Host Age on Progeny Production of Theocolax Elegans

    Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 48 : 587 - 597 (2014) Effect of Host Age on Progeny Production of Theocolax elegans (Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) Reared on Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Bonginkhosi E. Dlamini* and Weerawan Amornsak ABSTRACT Five host ages of Maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) reared on brown rice were examined for progeny production of Theocolax elegans (Westwood). Brown rice kernels infested with S. zeamais were exposed to a mated female of T. elegans after 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 d following S. zeamais introduction. Host stages were determined by measuring head-capsule widths from all the host ages. There was a signifi cant difference (P < 0.05) in T. elegans progeny production among the different host ages. Total progeny, total female progeny and total male progeny produced by 19-day-old S. zeamais larvae were signifi cantly higher (P < 0.05) compared to the other host ages. Progeny of T. elegans raised on 19-day-old S. zeamais larvae had a higher female to male ratio compared to the other host ages. Sitophilus zeamais larvae after 13, 15–17 and 19–21 d were found to be second, third and fourth instars, respectively. It was concluded that T. elegans can develop on the second, third and fourth instar larvae of S. zeamais. However, 19-day-old (fourth instar) S. zeamais larvae produced more T. elegans progeny with a higher female to male ratio.

Volatiles emitted by the host’s food would be the first signals used by parasitoids in the host location process and are thought to play an important role in host habitat location. In this study, the olfactory responses of Theocolax elegans (Westwood), a Pteromalid wasp that parasitizes immature stages of stored-product insect pests developing inside cereal or leguminous grains, to volatiles emitted by healthy wheat grains, their hexane extracts, and different doses of three individual compounds previously identified in cereal grain odors were investigated in Y-tube olfactometer and Petri dish arena behavioral bioassays and electroantennogram recordings. In Y-tube olfactometer bioassays, odors from healthy wheat grains and their hexane extracts were attractive to both sexes of T.

    Protection of Stored Maize from Insect Pests Using a Two-Component

    ARTICLE IN PRESS Journal of Stored Products Research 42 (2006) 218–225 www.elsevier.com/locate/jspr Protection of stored maize from insect pests using a two-component biological control method consisting of a hymenopteran parasitoid, Theocolax elegans, and transgenic avidin maize powder$ P.W. FlinnÃ, K.J. Kramer, J.E. Throne, T.D. Morgan Grain Marketing and Production Research Center, USDA-ARS, Manhattan, Kansas 66502, USA Accepted 17 February 2005 Abstract The hymenopteran parasitoid, Theocolax elegans (Westwood), and transgenic avidin maize powder were tested to determine if their individual or combined use would protect stored grain from infestation by both internal and external insect pests. Small-scale tests were conducted in plastic jars containing 3 kg of non- transgenic maize. We tested treatments of 0.3% powdered avidin maize, the parasitoid wasp, and the combination of the parasitoid plus 0.3% powdered avidin maize. One pair each of Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), and Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) was added to each jar. After 8 weeks, the entire contents of each jar were examined for adult insects. Control and avidin maize powders had no detrimental effects on the beneficial insect parasitoid T. elegans. The parasitoid suppressed populations of the internal feeder S. zeamais. The avidin maize powder treatment had no effect on S. zeamais because these larvae developed inside the maize kernels where no avidin maize powder was present. For S. zeamais, the combination treatment was not significantly different from the parasitoid treatment. In contrast, populations of the external feeder T. castaneum were not suppressed by the parasitoid but were suppressed by the avidin maize powder treatment.
  • Current State of Knowledge on Wolbachia Infection Among Coleoptera: a Systematic Review

    Current State of Knowledge on Wolbachia Infection Among Coleoptera: a Systematic Review

    Current state of knowledge on Wolbachia infection among Coleoptera: a systematic review Łukasz Kajtoch1 and Nela Kotásková2 1 Institute of Systematics and Evolution of Animals Polish Academy of Sciences, Krakow, Poland 2 Faculty of Science, University of Ostrava, Ostrava, Czech Republic ABSTRACT Background. Despite great progress in studies on Wolbachia infection in insects, the knowledge about its relations with beetle species, populations and individuals, and the effects of bacteria on these hosts, is still unsatisfactory. In this review we summarize the current state of knowledge about Wolbachia occurrence and interactions with Coleopteran hosts. Methods. An intensive search of the available literature resulted in the selection of 86 publications that describe the relevant details about Wolbachia presence among beetles. These publications were then examined with respect to the distribution and taxonomy of infected hosts and diversity of Wolbachia found in beetles. Sequences of Wolbachia genes (16S rDNA, ftsZ) were used for the phylogenetic analyses. Results. The collected publications revealed that Wolbachia has been confirmed in 204 beetle species and that the estimated average prevalence of this bacteria across beetle species is 38.3% and varies greatly across families and genera (0–88% infected members) and is much lower (c. 13%) in geographic studies. The majority of the examined and infected beetles were from Europe and East Asia. The most intensively studied have been two groups of herbivorous beetles: Curculionidae and Chrysomelidae. Coleoptera harbor Wolbachia belonging to three supergroups: F found in only three species, and A and B found in similar numbers of beetles (including some doubly infected); however Submitted 14 November 2017 the latter two were most prevalent in different families.

Similar to dry Life Histories grains, these commodities are typically maintained and Behavior at such low moisture levels that preserving quality by minimizing insect damage can be a significant chal- lenge. Stored commodities may become infested at the processing plant or warehouse, in transit, at the store, or at home. Many arthropod pests of stored commodities are relatively abundant outdoors, but natural host plants before preadaptation to stored products remain unknown. Capable of long flight, they migrate into unprotected warehouses. Adults (larvae) crawl through seams and folds or chew into sealed packages and multiply, diminishing product quality and quantity. Infestations may spread within a manufacturing facility through electrical conduit Figure 1. Adult of the cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne and control panels.
