  • Chapter 9. Arthropods of Cereal Crops in Canadian Grasslands
    217 Chapter 9 Arthropods of Cereal Crops in Canadian Grasslands John Gavloski Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, Crops Knowledge Centre, 65 3rd Ave. NE, Carman, Manitoba, Canada R0G 0J0 Scott Meers Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, 301 Horticultural Station Road East, S.S. #4, Brooks, Alberta, Canada T1R 1E6 Abstract. Cereal crops are a major aspect of the Canadian prairie landscape. This chapter focuses on insects of small grain cereals (wheat, oats, barley, and rye), but not on larger grains such as corn, which are less abundant on the Canadian prairies. Settlement of the Canadian prairies resulted in the replacement of vast amounts of native prairie plants with cereal crops. Many native insects adapted and flourished in this new habitat. Many alien insect species have also been accidentally introduced and are now pests of cereal crops. Other insects have been purposely introduced to regulate the populations of insect pests of cereal crops. Insect species are presented in feeding guilds in this chapter. Insects within a feeding guild feed on the same or a similar resource and may at times compete for this resource. Changes in cropping practices and varieties can also have an impact on the insect communities on cereal crops. Such interactions will also be described. Résumé. Les cultures de céréales occupent une place très importante dans le paysage des prairies canadiennes. Le présent chapitre porte principalement sur les insectes qui s’attaquent aux petites céréales (blé, avoine, orge et seigle), et non sur ceux qui se nourrissent de céréales à graines plus grosses — par exemple, le maïs — moins abondantes dans les prairies canadiennes.

  • The Spread of the Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia Axyridis (Coleoptera
    ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY THE SPREAD OF THE HARLEQUIN LADYBIRD HARMONIA AXYRIDIS (COLEOPTERA: COCCINELLIDAE) IN EUROPE AND ITS EFFECTS ON NATIVE LADYBIRDS PETER MICHAEL JAMES BROWN A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Anglia Ruskin University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted: March 2010 Acknowledgements I dedicate this thesis to Professor Michael Majerus, one of my supervisors, who tragically died in early 2009. Mike’s enthusiasm and amazing knowledge of ladybirds was, and is (through his books and papers), an inspiration. He was a wonderful mentor and friend and had a logical answer to any question about ladybirds, insects in general or pretty much any other biological topic. Very special thanks go to my other supervisors – Dr Helen Roy, Dr Julian Doberski and Dr Alison Thomas. Helen, with Mike, gave me the initial opportunity to work on this project by employing me to co-ordinate the Harlequin Ladybird Survey. Helen has been a constant source of encouragement and inspiration from the moment that she suggested I register for the PhD. This work would not have been completed without her enthusiasm, guidance and friendship. Julian was my undergraduate supervisor and is responsible for sparking my interest in beetles. His advice and questioning from the point of view of a non-ladybird ecologist was extremely useful. Alison has been a wonderful source of encouragement and guidance, particularly during the final year of this project. She also helped to broaden the scope of the thesis. I would also like to extend special thanks for support and friendship to Dr Remy Ware (University of Cambridge), who runs the UK Ladybird Survey with Helen and myself, Dr David Roy (NERC CEH) who has provided a lot of help to the UK Ladybird Survey, and Mr Robert Frost, an amazing volunteer ladybird recorder.
