Fungal entomopathogens provide an attractive alternative to synthetic insecticides for weevil control because they pose a lesser risk to human health and the environment. This review summarises the available data on the performance of these entomopathogens when used against weevils in horticultural crops. We integrate these data with information on weevil biology, grouping species based on how their developmental stages utilise habitats in or on their hostplants, or in the soil. -

Smith-Pardo. Entomologist. USDA-APHIS-PPQ, 389 Oyster Point Blvd., Suite 2, South San Francisco, CA. 94080. United States of America. [email protected] Abstract This paper presents a discussion on the taxonomy of weevils of the genus Anthonomus and presents diagnostic characters useful for the identification of adult and immature stages of the genus. In addition, I ran a search in the USDA’s AQAS database for interceptions of species of Anthonomus of quarantine importance that have been intercepted at United States ports of entry. In total, six species of quarantine importance have been intercepted: Anthonomus flavus, Anthonomus grandis, Anthonomus melanosticus, Anthonomus pomorum, Anthonomus rubi, and Anthonomus sisyphus. Photographs and information on the origin and hosts of these interceptions are included.

A Comprehensive DNA Barcode Database for Central European Beetles with a Focus on Germany: Adding More Than 3500 Identified Species to BOLD
Molecular Ecology Resources (2015) 15, 795–818 doi: 10.1111/1755-0998.12354 A comprehensive DNA barcode database for Central European beetles with a focus on Germany: adding more than 3500 identified species to BOLD 1 ^ 1 LARS HENDRICH,* JEROME MORINIERE,* GERHARD HASZPRUNAR,*† PAUL D.

In many countries, they are well established for environmental impact assessment, but even in the well-studied Central European fauna, species identification can be very difficult. A comprehensive and taxonomically well-curated DNA barcode library could remedy this deficit and could also link hundreds of years of traditional knowledge with next generation sequencing technology. However, such a beetle library is missing to date. This study provides the globally largest DNA barcode reference library for Coleoptera for 15 948 individuals belonging to 3514 well-identified species (53% of the German fauna) with representatives from 97 of 103 families (94%). This study is the first comprehensive regional test of the efficiency of DNA barcoding for beetles with a focus on Germany. Sequences ≥500 bp were recovered from 63% of the specimens analysed (15 948 of 25 294) with short sequences from another 997 specimens. -
Climate-Induced Phenological Shift of Apple Trees Has Diverse Effects on Pollinators, Herbivores and Natural Enemies
Climate-induced phenological shift of apple trees has diverse effects on pollinators, herbivores and natural enemies Ádám Kőrösi1,2,*, Viktor Markó3,*, Anikó Kovács-Hostyánszki4, László Somay4, Ákos Varga3, Zoltán Elek1, Virginie Boreux5, Alexandra-Maria Klein5, Rita Földesi6 and András Báldi4 1 MTA-ELTE-MTM Ecology Research Group, Budapest, Hungary 2 Theoretical Evolutionary Ecology Group, Department of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany 3 Department of Entomology, Szent István University, Budapest, Hungary 4 Institute of Ecology and Botany, Lendület Ecosystem Services Research Group, MTA Centre for Ecological Research, Vácrátót, Hungary 5 Nature Conservation and Landscape Ecology, Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources, University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany 6 Agroecology and Organic Farming, Institute of Crop Science and Resource Conservation, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Climate change is altering the phenology of trophically linked organisms, leading to increased asynchrony between species with unknown consequences for ecosystem services. Although phenological mismatches are reported from several ecosystems, experimental evidence for altering multiple ecosystem services is hardly available. We examined how the phenological shift of apple trees affected the abundance and diversity of pollinators, generalist and specialist herbivores and predatory arthropods. We stored potted apple trees in the greenhouse or cold store in early spring before transferring them into orchards to cause mismatches and sampled arthropods on the Submitted 27 February 2018 trees repeatedly. Assemblages of pollinators on the manipulated and control trees Accepted 29 June 2018 differed markedly, but their overall abundance was similar indicating a potential Published 26 July 2018 insurance effect of wild bee diversity to ensure fruit set in flower-pollinator mismatch Corresponding author conditions. -
To Host Plant Volatiles
CHEMICAL ECOLOGY Response of Cranberry Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to Host Plant Volatiles ZSOFIA SZENDREI,1,2 EDI MALO,1,3 LUKASZ STELINSKI,4 1 AND CESAR RODRIGUEZ-SAONA Environ. Entomol. 38(3): 861Ð869 (2009) ABSTRACT The oligophagous cranberry weevil, Anthonomus musculus Say, causes economic losses to blueberry growers in New Jersey because females deposit eggs into developing ßower buds and subsequent larval feeding damages buds, which fail to produce fruit. A cost-effective and reliable method is needed for monitoring this pest to correctly time insecticide applications. We studied the behavioral and antennal responses of adult A. musculus to its host plant volatiles to determine their potential for monitoring this pest. We evaluated A. musculus response to intact and damaged host plant parts, such as buds and ßowers in Y-tube bioassays. We also collected and identiÞed host plant volatiles from blueberry buds and open ßowers and performed electroan- tennograms with identiÞed compounds to determine the speciÞc chemicals eliciting antennal responses. Male weevils were more attracted to blueberry ßower buds and were repelled by conspeciÞc-damaged buds compared with clean air. In contrast, females were more attracted to open ßowers compared with ßower buds. Nineteen volatiles were identiÞed from blueberry buds; 10 of these were also emitted from blueberry ßowers. Four of the volatiles emitted from both blueberry buds and ßowers [hexanol, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, hexyl acetate, and (Z)-3-hexenyl butyrate] elicited strong antennal responses from A. musculus. Future laboratory and Þeld testing of the identiÞed compounds in combination with various trap designs is planned to develop a reliable monitoring trap for A. -
