CERTAIN INSECT VECTORS OF APLANOBACTER STEWARTI ' By F. W. Poos, senior entomologist, Division of Cereal and Forage Insects, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine; and CHARLOTTE ELLIOTT, associate pa- thologist, Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture ^ INTRODUCTION Bacterial wilt of corn (Zea mays L.) caused by Aplanobacter stewarti (E. F. Sm.) McC. was exceedingly destructive and more widely dis- tributed during 1932 and 1933 than during any previous time in the history of the disease. Since 1897, when it was first described by Stewart, it has been studied by a number of investigators whose work has pointed more and more toward insects as a means of dis- semination of the causal organism. Kand and Cash (7) ^ during 1920-23 found that bacterial wilt could be transmitted from diseased to healthy com plants by two species of flea beetles, Chaetocnema pulicaria Melsh. and C, denticulata (111.), and by the spotted cucum- ber beetle, Diabrotica duodecimpunctata (Fab.). IvanoíF (ö) reported transmission from diseased to healthy plants by the larval stage of the corn rootworm, Diabrotica longicornis (Say), as it attacked the roots of young seedling com plants. He also reported that the bac- teria of A. stewarti entered the corn plants through wounds made by white grubs, the larvae of Phyllophaga sp., feeding upon the roots in infested soil. A summary of this work, together with a brief review of the other literature on this disease, has recently appeared else- where (1), The results of experiments by previous investigators on soil trans- mission of the causal organism indicate that transmission through the soil to uninjured roots of com plants is exceedingly rare, if it ever occurs. -

Ipomoea batatas, parasitic nematode, plant resistance, biological control, wireworms, flea beetles, grubs, cucumber beetles Abstract. This 2-year study was conducted to determine if soil insect damage could be reduced in sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] by treatment with an insecticide (fonofos) and/or a parasitic nematode (Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser), in conjunction with sweetpotato cultivars that differed in susceptibility to soil insect damage. Analysis of field data for the first year showed that the parasitic nematode provided significant damage protection of sweetpotato from wireworms (Conoderus spp.), Diabrotica sp., Systena sp., and sweetpotato flea beetle (Chaetocnema confinis Crotch), but not from grubs (Plectris aliena Chapin; Phyllophaga ephilida Say). In this same test, fonofos used alone provided protection against wireworm- Diabrotica-Systena (WDS complex) damage. In the second test, the nematode did not provide soil insect protection for the WDS complex, but fonofos did reduce damage for these insects. Poor efficacy in the second test with the nematode probably was due to high rainfall, which saturated the soil. Resistant cultivars provided good protection for all three categories of damage. When used with the insect-susceptible check ‘SC 1149-19’, the nematode or fonofos treatments provided better control for all insect categories in the first test. -
Flea Beetles
E-74-W Vegetable Insects Department of Entomology FLEA BEETLES Rick E. Foster and John L. Obermeyer, Extension Entomologists Several species of fl ea beetles are common in Indiana, sometimes causing damage so severe that plants die. Flea beetles are small, hard-shelled insects, so named because their enlarged hind legs allow them to jump like fl eas from plants when disturbed. They usually move by walking or fl ying, but when alarmed they can jump a considerable distance. Most adult fl ea beetle damage is unique in appearance. They feed by chewing a small hole (often smaller than 1/8 inch) in a leaf, moving a short distance, then chewing another hole and so on. The result looks like a number of “shot holes” in the leaf. While some of the holes may meet, very often they do not. A major exception to this characteristic type of damage is that caused by the corn fl ea beetle, which eats the plant tissue forming narrow lines in the corn leaf surface. This damage gives plants a greyish appearance. Corn fl ea beetle damage on corn leaf (Photo Credit: John Obermeyer) extent of damage is realized. Therefore, it is very important to regularly check susceptible plants, especially when they are in the seedling stage. Most species of fl ea beetles emerge from hibernation in late May and feed on weeds and other plants, if hosts are not available. In Indiana, some species have multiple generations per year, and some have only one. Keeping fi elds free of weed hosts will help reduce fl ea beetle populations. -
Responses of Insect Herbivores and Herbivory to Habitat Fragmentation: a Hierarchical Meta-Analysis
Ecology Letters, (2017) 20: 264–272 doi: 10.1111/ele.12723 REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS Responses of insect herbivores and herbivory to habitat fragmentation: a hierarchical meta-analysis Abstract Marıa Rosa Rossetti,1,* Teja Loss and fragmentation of natural habitats can lead to alterations of plant–animal interactions Tscharntke,2 Ramiro Aguilar3,4 and and ecosystems functioning. Insect herbivory, an important antagonistic interaction is expected to Peter Batary 2 be influenced by habitat fragmentation through direct negative effects on herbivore community richness and indirect positive effects due to losses of natural enemies. Plant community changes with habitat fragmentation added to the indirect effects but with little predictable impact. Here, we evaluated habitat fragmentation effects on both herbivory and herbivore diversity, using novel hierarchical meta-analyses. Across 89 studies, we found a negative effect of habitat fragmentation on abundance and species richness of herbivores, but only a non-significant trend on herbivory. Reduced area and increased isolation of remaining fragments yielded the strongest effect on abun- dance and species richness, while specialist herbivores were the most vulnerable to habitat frag- mentation. These fragmentation effects were more pronounced in studies with large spatial extent. The strong reduction in herbivore diversity, but not herbivory, indicates how important common generalist species can be in maintaining herbivory as a major ecosystem process.

KNOXVILLE SUMMARY 1. Several species of insects in Tennessee are capable of causing holes in sweetpotatoes. It appears that the elongate flea beetle, Systena elongata, and possibly the pale-striped flea beetle are the principal offenders. Injury may be caused occasionally by wireworms, the southern corn rootworm, and the sweetpotato leaf beetle. 2. The elongate flea beetles pass the winter in the larval stage on the roots of narrow-leaved plantain and possibly other weeds. -

BioRisk 4(1): 267–292. doi: 10.3897/biorisk.4.52 Abstract Th e inventory of the leaf and seed beetles alien to Europe revealed a total of 25 species of which 14 seed beetles (bruchids) and 11 leaf beetles mostly belonging to the subfamilies Alticinae and Chrysomelinae. At present, aliens account for 9.4% of the total fauna of seed beetles in Europe whereas this percentage is less than 1% for leaf beetles. Whilst seed beetles dominated the introductions in Europe until 1950, there has been an exponential increase in the rate of arrival of leaf beetles since then. New leaf beetles arrived at an average rate of 0.6 species per year during the period 2000–2009. Most alien species originated from Asia but this pattern is mainly due to seed beetles of which a half are of Asian origin whereas leaf beetles pre- dominantly originated from North America (36.4%).
