D. guayllabambae seems to be a strictly mountainous species of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes. D. nigrodumosa is apparently endemic to Venezuela, oc- Drosophila subgenus curring in the Andes as well as at lower altitudes.

  • Comparison of Baits for Monitoring the Spotted Wing Drosophila, Drosophila Suzukii
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Joseph R. Kleiber for the degree of Master of Science in Horticulture presented on June 6, 2013 Title: Comparison of Baits for Monitoring the Spotted Wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Abstract approved: Denny J. Bruck Spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a pest of small and stone fruits that is widely distributed across much of the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Unlike other members of the Drosophilidae that only lay eggs in overripe or rotting fruit, SWD infest ripening and ripe fruit. The female SWD has a serrated ovipositor that allows her to lay eggs under the skin of a wide range of fruits, where the eggs hatch into larvae and they consume the inside of the fruit. This feeding results in fruit collapse and deterioration, and the hole created by the oviposition puncture allows for secondary infection by microorganisms, yield losses, reduced fruit quality and degrades. The current control is to apply an insecticide treatment when the fruit begins to color and continue to keep the crop protected with chemical treatments until harvest is complete. The current monitoring tools are not sensitive enough to attract SWD at the critical time to establish economic thresholds, appropriately time treatments and allow growers to make good management decisions. The objective of this research project was to determine if a more sensitive attractant than the currently standard 5% acidity apple cider vinegar traps could be defined. A number of food products and commercially available lures were tested in greenhouse and field experiments for their attractiveness to D.

    CNC/IUGG: 2019 Quadrennial Report Geodesy and Geophysics in Canada 2015-2019 Quadrennial Report of the Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics Prepared on the Occasion of the 27th General Assembly of the IUGG Montreal, Canada July 2019 INTRODUCTION This report summarizes the research carried out in Canada in the fields of geodesy and geophysics during the quadrennial 2015-2019. It was prepared under the direction of the Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (CNC/IUGG). The CNC/IUGG is administered by the Canadian Geophysical Union, in consultation with the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society and other Canadian scientific organizations, including the Canadian Association of Physicists, the Geological Association of Canada, and the Canadian Institute of Geomatics. The IUGG adhering organization for Canada is the National Research Council of Canada. Among other duties, the CNC/IUGG is responsible for: • collecting and reconciling the many views of the constituent Canadian scientific community on relevant issues • identifying, representing, and promoting the capabilities and distinctive competence of the community on the international stage • enhancing the depth and breadth of the participation of the community in the activities and events of the IUGG and related organizations • establishing the mechanisms for communicating to the community the views of the IUGG and information about the activities of the IUGG. The aim of this report is to communicate to both the Canadian and international scientific communities the research areas and research progress that has been achieved in geodesy and geophysics over the last four years. The main body of this report is divided into eight sections: one for each of the eight major scientific disciplines as represented by the eight sister societies of the IUGG.

Ma old Pingualuit Crater Lake known as the “Crystal Eye of Nunavik” offer the unique opportunity to study terrestrial climate dynamics not only during the postglacial period, but over several hundreds of thousands of years as its deep sediment infill yields an uninterrupted arctic paleoclimate record. The Pingualuit meteoritic crater (Nunavik, Canada; 61o17' N, 73o41' W) is located in the northernmost part of the Ungava Peninsula in northern Quebec - close to the area where the Laurentide Ice Sheet reached maximum thickness during the last (Wisconsinan) glaciation. In May, 2007 ~10 m of sediments was recovered from the crater lake at a water depth of 270 m using a UWITEC piston percussion corer system.

The former breeds primarily on prickly pears (genus Opuntia) whereas the latter breeds on columnar cacti of the genera Cereus and Trichocereus, although with certain degree of niche overlapping. We examined the interspecific differences in diurnal temporal patterns of adult emergence from puparia and evaluated whether this behavior is affected by rearing in the different cactus hosts available in nature. We detected important host-dependent genetic variation for this trait differentially affecting the emergence schedule of these species. Diurnal pattern of emergence time was directly correlated with developmental time and negatively correlated with adult wing size, suggesting that early emergences are at least indirectly correlated with increased fitness.

Ratcliffe3 Abstract Color and volatile stimulus preferences of Drosophila repleta (Patterson) Diptera: Drosophilidae), a nuisance pest of swine and poultry facilities, were tested using sticky card and bottle traps. Attractions to red, yellow, blue, orange, green, purple, black, grey and a white-on-black contrast treatment were tested in the laboratory. Drosophila repleta preferred red over yellow and white but not over blue. Other than showing preferences over the white con- trol, D. repleta was not observed to have preferences between other colors and shade combinations. Pinot Noir red wine, apple cider vinegar, and wet swine feed were used in volatile preference field trials. Red wine was more attractiveD. to repleta than the other volatiles tested, but there were no dif- ferences in response to combinations of a red wine volatile lure and various colors.

  • Efficacy of Beauveria Bassiana Again
    ABSTRACT GUISEWITE, LENA MARIE. Investigating Potential IPM Strategies in Swine Production: Efficacy of Beauveria bassiana Against Vinegar Flies (Drosophila repleta), and Understanding the Repellent Action of Geraniol Against House Flies (Musca domestica) and Stable Flies (Stomoxys calcitrans). (Under the direction of Dr. Wes Watson.) House flies (Musca domestica L.), stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans L.), and vinegar flies (Drosophila repleta Wollaston) are important economic and nuisance pests of livestock. Deep-bedded swine production systems offer challenges to traditional IPM strategies because the accumulation of manure provides a suitable habitat for fly development. Push-pull IPM strategies use repellents and attractants to manipulate pest populations. A push-pull approach for organic swine production may be applied by using both organically approved repellents and biological control agents. Geraniol, a plant-based monoterpene, exhibits repellency to mosquitoes, but no studies explore its efficacy against filth flies associated with livestock. Insect pathogens contribute to the IPM strategy as one of many biological control options. Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin has established pathogenicity against house flies and stable flies, however, little is known about the effects of this entomopathogenic fungus on vinegar flies. The main objectives for this project were 1) to understand the pathogenicity of a known entomopathogenic fungus, B. bassiana, against vinegar flies, and 2) to establish and characterize the repellency of geraniol against house flies and stable flies. Adult house flies and vinegar flies were exposed to two strains (P89, and L90) of B. bassiana isolated from naturally infected house flies in a dust formulation in the lab (1 x 108 conidia per cm2) and in the field (1.076 x 105 c per cm2) on plywood surfaces.
