(HQsing) Without the assistance and encouragement of numerous friends and colleagues during the long course of this study, this project might never have been completed. I owe special thanks to Jerry Powell, majur advisor, tutor, and friend, for his patienee and unstinting assistance in seeing this study through to completion. His guidance was responsible for numerous improvements in the content and presentation of this paper. Robert OmdufiF and Evert Schlinger, as additional members of the dissertation committee, reviewed the manuscript Hieir suggestions and criticisms are gratefiilfy aduiowledged. W. Donald Duckworth and [the lalej Harold Moore gave me valuable experience in the tropics by including me as an assistant on their collecting expeditions. This project was begun under their tutelage, and their unfailing support and interest in my progress will always be remembered and appreciated. Allan Watson was especially helpfid in returning types to me for further study and in answering those inevitable questions that arise in a protracted project where early details have a way of fading from memory. Frederick Rindge kindly reexamined the typt of spitUvatm Fleming for me. [The late] Francisco Femtodez \€peiz helped arrange for my visit to Maracay in 1974-75. His innumerable kindnesses and assistance during that year are warmly remembered. Michael Adams. George Bernard, and Michael Murtaugh suttered the vagaries and frustrations of collecting in the Tropics with me. Their forbearance, humor, and good company in the face of plagues of swarming insects made all bearable. Among those who ccmtributed specimens to this study from their own collecting efforts or searched for material on my behalf are: Yves Barbotfn (Cayenne, French Guiana); Andre Blanchard (Houston, Texas); John Chcmsak (Berkeley); Rosser Garrison (San Juan, Puerto Rico); George Godfrey (Champaign, Illinois); John Hafemik (San Francisco); Daniel Janzen (Riiladelphia); Gerardo Lamas (Lima, Peru); [the late] Harold Moore (Ithaca, New York); Tom Pliske (Coral Gables, Florida); Jerr\ Powell (Berkeley); Don Viers (Pullman, Washington); Philip Ward (Davis, California). Dale Habeck provided inldrmaiion about rearing ctenuchids, and Norman Leppla helped to reassess the artificial diet Their suggestions were us^ul in improving the rearing results. Special thanks are due the following for their assistance during various phases of the study: friends Phillip Guins and Alden Kamikawa helped with labeling: Richard Clarke collated locality data, helped prepare maps, and proofread various versions Copyrighted material Acknowledgments iz of the manuscript: Hinrich Seeba and Martha Bell Dietz translated articles from German; John DeBcncdictis took the SEM photographs; Dean and Chalmers Luckhart took the photographs of the adults; Karen Bailey helped with the typing; Maiy Anne Qarke assisted me in converting hand-drawn griqphs to computer- generated ones. To my mother and late father. Ann and Robert Dietz, I owe special thanks for their generous support and enc()ura<^ement over the course of this study. Their unflagging taith and confidence in me were invaluable morale boosters. This study was aided in part by the following grants and awards: National Science Foundation Grant 6813X (to Jerry A.

Fischer, Hannes Freitag, and Anita Kiesel Forstzoologie und Entomologie, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, D-79085 Freiburg i.Br., Germany and 1Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Subject Editor: Phyllis Weintraub Received 9 August 2019; Editorial decision 5 September 2019 Abstract Scales, exoskeletal features characteristic of the Lepidoptera, occur in enormous structural and functional diversity. They cover the wing membranes and other body parts and give butterflies and moths their often stunning appearance. Generally, the patterns made by scales are visual signals for intra- and interspecific communication. In males, scales and/or bristles also make up the androconial organs, which emit volatile signals during courtship. Here, a structurally and putative functionally novel type of scales and bristles is reported: ‘crystal macrosetae’. These lack trabeculae and windows, are made up by a very thin and flexible envelope only and contain crystallizing material. In ‘crystal scales’, there is a flat surface ornamentation of modified ridges, while ‘crystal bristles’ often show large protrusions. Crystal macrosetae usually cannot be reliably recognized without destruction. Apparently, they serve as containers for large amounts of material that is viscous in living moths, highly hygroscopic, crystallizes when specimens dry up, and can be visualized by scanning electron microscopy. Crystal macrosetae occur in males only, always associated with or making up androconial organs located on various parts of the body, and have numerous forms with diverse surface ornamentation across many species and genera.
  • Predicting Caterpillar Parasitism in Banana Plantations

    Predicting Caterpillar Parasitism in Banana Plantations

    BIOLOGICAL CONTROLÐPARASITOIDS AND PREDATORS Predicting Caterpillar Parasitism in Banana Plantations 1 2, 3 2 LEE A. DYER, ROBERT B. MATLOCK, DARYA CHEHREZAD, AND RACHEL O’MALLEY Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA 70118 Environ. Entomol. 34(2): 403Ð409 (2005) ABSTRACT This paper links ecological theory to the biological control of insect pests in banana plantations. Through an established predictive approach, ecological data on tritrophic interactions from natural systems were used to formulate simple recommendations for biological control in banana plantations. The speciÞc goals were (1) to determine the most effective parasitoid enemies for biological control of lepidopteran larvae in banana plantations and (2) to examine the impact of nematicides on enemy populations. To assess percent parasitism, we reared 1,121 lepidopteran larvae collected from six plantations managed under two nematicide regimens. Attack by parasitoids in the families Tachinidae (Diptera), Braconidae, Eulophidae, and Chalcididae (Hymenoptera) closely paralleled rates reported for species with similar characteristics in lowland wet forests, and statistical models predicted the relative importance of these parasitoids as sources of mortality. We found that tachinid ßies were the most important source of early instar larval parasitism in banana plantations, and their importance increased with more intensive nematicide applications. The statistical models that we derived from data on natural systems were useful in predicting which parasitoids would be important in banana and which larval characteristics they would preferentially attack. This approach could be used in other managed ecosystems where the identiÞcation of effective biological control agents is needed.

Lieneke Bakker 1, Wopke van der Werf 2, Pablo Tittonell 3,4,5, Kris A. G. Wyckhuys 6,7,8 and Felix J. J. A. Bianchi 1 ABSTRACT. Overreliance on synthetic insecticides in global agriculture is the outcome of a “pesticide treadmill,” in which insecticide- induced pest resistance development and the depletion of beneficial insect populations aggravate farmers’ pesticide dependencies. Examples of the pesticide treadmill have been witnessed repeatedly over the past seven decades, prompting the question whether the rapid uptake and usage patterns of neonicotinoid insecticides and their associated environmental impact are in accordance with this recurrent phenomenon. We hypothesize a conceptual framework in which treadmills are enforced by enabling or disabling drivers within four domains: pest management decisions at the farm level, characteristics of farming landscapes, science and technology, and societal demands. These drivers then tend to create a self-enforcing pesticide “lock-in.” We then analyze several post-1950s historical case studies with reference to this framework, e.g., those involving sprays of the highly hazardous DDT and methyl-parathion, in which the pesticide treadmill was initiated, sustained, and broken, and compare this with current patterns in neonicotinoid use.
