Effect of the Eucalypt Lerp Psyllid Glycaspis Brimblecombei On
DOI: 10.1111/eea.12645 16TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON INSECT-PLANT RELATIONSHIPS Effect of the eucalypt lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecombei on adult feeding, oviposition-site selection, and offspring performance of the bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus Gonzalo Martınez1,2* ,Andres Gonzalez3 & Marcel Dicke1 1Laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands, 2Laboratory of Entomology, National Forestry Research Program, Instituto Nacional de Investigacion Agropecuaria, Tacuarembo, Uruguay, and 3Laboratory of Chemical Ecology, Faculty of Chemistry, Universidad de la Republica, Montevideo, Uruguay Accepted: 5 October 2017 Key words: preference-performance, Thaumastocoridae, Aphalaridae, intraguild competition, Eucalyptus forestry Abstract Oviposition-site selection may be greatly affected by competitive plant-mediated interactions between phytophagous insects but these interactions have been poorly investigated on trees. Here, we evalu- ated the potential interaction between two invasive pests of Eucalyptus trees, the red gum lerp psyllid, Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha: Aphalaridae), and the bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero et Dellape (Heteroptera: Thaumastocoridae). We assessed the effect of the co-occurrence of G. brimblecombei on the selection of feeding and oviposition sites by T. peregrinus females using dual-choice bioassays. We compared developmental time and survival of the first instar of nymphs reared on healthy Eucalyptus tereticornis Smith (Myrtaceae) leaves and on leaves infested with the lerp psyllid, either with or without lerps (i.e., white conical sweet-tasting structures, secreted during the nymphal stage). Bronze bug females prefer to oviposit on lerp-carry- ing leaves but we found no difference in feeding preference when compared to healthy leaves. Infesta- tion with the lerp psyllid hampered nymphal performance in terms of developmental time and survival, although the presence of lerps reverted the effect in survival and shortened the duration of the initial instar. -

Checkered Beetles Moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) – Hazardous Phytophags of Arboreal and Shrubby Plants of Botanical Gardens and Plantings of Kiev M
UDC 632.634.791.937 (477.75) © 2017 Checkered beetles moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) – hazardous phytophags of arboreal and shrubby plants of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev M. Lisovyi, O. Sylchuk Natsional University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Heroev Oborony str., 13, Kyiv, 03041, Ukraine P. Chumak, V. Kovalchuk, Botanichny Garden of Acad. O. Fomina The purpose. To carry out probes on revealing and specification of species composition of checkered moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in conditions of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev. Methods. Standard methods of faunistic research in entomology, population ecology, and protection of plants. Results. It is determined that 24 kinds of checkered moths are eating 54 kinds of plants which are widely used for gardening in Kiev. For the first time the following kinds are revealed: Phyllonorycter issikii, Phyllonorycter platani, and Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella. At calculation of Palii-Kovnatski indexes they specified that in city plantings the dominant phytophags are Cameraria ohridella (94,11%), Phyllonorycter populifoliella (86,37%) and Gracillaria syringella (59,14%). They consider that in formation of the secondary areal of invasion kinds of checkered moths the great value has an areal of spread of the host-plant. Environmental analysis is carried out of checkered moths of family Gracillariidae which is spread in cities of the Europe and which are absent in fauna of cities of Ukraine. That has important theoretical and practical value for ecology, entomology and protection of plants against hazardous checkered moths. Conclusions. All the probed kinds of checkered moths by their trophic specialization may be distributed into polyphages (6 kinds), oligophages (14 kinds) and monophages (3 kinds). -

An island so large and distant from the other lands, except for its “sister” Corsica, has inevitably developed an autochthonous flora and fauna over such a long period of time. Organisms from other Mediterranean regions have added to this original contingent. These new arrivals were not randomly distributed over time but grouped into at least three great waves. The oldest two correspond with the Messinian salinity crisis about 7 million years ago and with the ice age, when, in both periods, Sardinia was linked to or near other lands due to a fall in sea level. The third, still in progress, is linked to human activity. -

Jeff Garnas, PhD Department of Natural Resources and the Environment jeff[email protected] University of New Hampshire, Durham mypages.unh.edu/garnaslab Durham, NH 03824 (603) 862-2094 Profile I am a population and community ecologist and evolutionary biologist focused on questions related to insects and fungi that interact with plants, primarily forest trees. I use a variety of approaches and tools, including observational studies, field and lab experiments, modeling and molecular analyses to test hypotheses and search for strong inference in the systems I study. I approach ecological and evolutionary questions using a strong theoretical framework while producing and communicating products with applied value to conservation and to land and forest managers. In particular, I am interested in the drivers of host use and community overlap in fungi and insects colonizing native and exotic tree species, and in understanding the evolutionary, population genetic and ecological consequences of invasion of plants, fungi and insects.

A revisited analysis was carried out on data collected in eastern Sicily soon after the psyllid introduction in 2012/13. G. brimblecombei has been sampled by two different methods on Eucalyptus camaldulensis in nine different sites, where the main climatic data (air temperature, relative humidity, and precipitation) have been registered. G. brimblecombei population showed a similar trend in all nine sites, positively correlated only with air temperature. A negative correlation has emerged with precipitation and relative humidity. The results show the need for a deeper understanding of the role played by environmental factors as well as by the sampling methods based on the random collection of a fixed number of leaves, compared to methods based on the collection of infested leaves in a fixed time interval. -
