Ueckermann Published online: 26 February 2010 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 The first reference to eriophyoids was apparently made by Reaumur (1737) who referred to galls and erinea caused by arthropods. He described them as maggots which was more correct than subsequent taxonomists who considered them fungi. The first genera were described in the middle of the nineteenth century, namely Eriophyes by Siebold and Phytoptus by Dujardin. Studies of the morphology of these mites were introduced by the remarkable work of Nalepa (1887) with his astounding accuracy in view of the optical equipment then available. During the twentieth century Keifer made a considerable con- tribution to the knowledge of eriophyoids, which established a firm foundation for future research. Mainly single species were described then and this resulted in many loose entities. Due to the lack of keys, thoughts to establish order gradually took shape and resulted in a series of books, namely Mites Injurious to Economic Plants by Jeppson et al. (1975), Catalog of the Eriophyoidea of the world by Amrine and Stasny (1994) and World Crop Pests. Eriophyoid mites. Their Biology, Natural Enemies and Control edited by Lindquist et al. (1996). The need to continue with the ordering of the Eriophyoidea house, remained in the minds of eriophyoid specialists and was recently triggered by a series of e-mail conver- sations between Enrico de Lillo and Anna Skoracka. With the support of the world erio- phydologists, they proposed a special eriophyoid session to the organizers of the 6th EURAAC symposium (Montpellier, July 2008). In the meantime they started by sending questionnaires to all eriophyoid specialists for their comments and the reaction was overwhelming. Unfortunately, financial, personal and health restrains have limited the presence of specialists like Jim Amrine, Jan Boczek, Evert Lindquist, George Oldfield and Valery Shevtchenko. In spite of this, about 30 specialists took part in this special session during which they took stock of the progress in a selected pool of eriophyoid research projects, since the red book of the world crop pest series on eriophyoid mites (Lindquist et al. 1996). Another aim of this session was to establish closer collaborations between all eriophyoidologists. It was also decided during this symposium to combine all the presented E. A.

Inst., Private Bag X134, Pretoria 0001, South Africa e-mail: [email protected] Reprinted from the journal 1 123 Exp Appl Acarol (2010) 51:1–2 papers and more in a special Proceedings publication. Jan Bruin, the co-Editor-in-Chief of Experimental and Applied Acarology, was approached and immediately reacted positively. Fourteen informative papers dealing with eriophyoids, their DNA, species interactions, quarantine importance, host specificity, potential as bio-control agents of weeds, chemical control, behaviour, their role in fungal pathogen epidemiology, influence in forests and on ornamentals, collecting and mounting techniques and their interaction with crops are presented here. This is an extensive and valuable update to eriophyoid science and a must for present and future researchers in this field. Sincere thanks to all the contributors and Experimental and Applied Acarology for their important role in this milestone in eriophyoid research.

Enrico de Lillo Æ Anna Skoracka Received: 30 March 2009 / Accepted: 27 July 2009 / Published online: 16 September 2009 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009 Abstract Fundamental knowledge on the morphology, biology, ecology, and economic importance of Eriophyoidea has been exhaustively compiled by Lindquist et al. (Erio- phyoid mites—their biology, natural enemies and control; Elsevier, 1996). Since that time, the number of recognized species and the economic importance of the taxon have increased substantially. The aim of this paper is to analyze and briefly review new findings from eriophyoid mites’ literature after Lindquist et al. book, stressing persistent gaps and needs. Much recent attention has been given to sampling and detection, taxonomy and system- atics, faunistic surveys, internal morphology, rearing techniques, biological and ecological aspects, biomolecular studies, and virus vectoring. Recommendations are made for integrating research and promoting broader dissemination of data among specialists and non-specialists. Keywords Plant parasites Á Pests Á Quarantine organisms Á Weed control agents Á Pathogen vectors Á Eriophyoidea Introduction The morphological, biological, behavioural, and ecological peculiarities of eriophyoid mites have been widely emphasized in the acarological literature since the late nineteentn century (Nalepa 1886–1929; Keifer 1938–1991; Lindquist 2001). After more than 150 years of investigations, about 4,000 eriophyoid species have been described from a vast array of host plants, and a huge number of species remains undiscovered (Amrine E. de Lillo (&) Department of Biology and Chemistry of Agro-Forestry and Environment (Di.B.C.A.), Entomological and Zoological Section, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bari, via Amendola, 165/A, 70126 Bari, Italy e-mail: [email protected] A.

    Volume 6 (Relatives of Temperate Fruits) of the book series, "Wild Crop Relatives: Genetic, Genomic and Breeding Resources ed C. Kole 2011 p179-197 9 Rubus J. Graham* and M. Woodhead Scottish Crop Research Institute, Dundee, DD2 5DA, UK *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Rosaceae family consists of around 3, 000 species of which 500 belong to the genus Rubus. Ploidy levels range from diploid to dodecaploid with a genomic number of 7, and members can be difficult to classify into distinct species due to hybridization and apomixes. Species are distributed widely across Asia, Europe, North and South America with the center of diversity now considered to be in China, where there are 250-700 species of Rubus depending on the taxonomists. Rubus species are an important horticultural source of income and labor being produced for the fresh and processing markets for their health benefits. Blackberries and raspberries have a relatively short history of less than a century as cultivated crops that have been enhanced through plant breeding and they are only a few generations removed from their wild progenitor species. Rubus sp. are typically found as early colonizers of disturbed sites such as pastures, along forest edges, in forest clearings and along roadsides. Blackberries are typically much more tolerant of drought, flooding and high temperatures, while red raspberries are more tolerant of cold winters. Additionally, they exhibit vigorous vegetative reproduction by either tip layering or root suckering, permitting Rubus genotypes to cover large areas. The attractiveness of the fruits to frugivores, especially birds, means that seed dispersal can be widespread with the result that Rubus genotypes can very easily be spread to new sites and are very effective, high-speed invaders.

The female of E. tanaceti is re-described, while the male and nymph are described for the first time. Keywords: Eriophyidae, Leipothrix, common zinnia, Asteraceae, Hungary. The large family Asteraceae (Compositae) contains 1,911 plant genera with 32,913 accepted species names (The Plant List, 2013). Representatives of the family Asteraceae are a dominant feature of the Hungarian flora with 267 recognised species. According to Király (2009) it amounts to 9.8% of the current vascular plants of Hungary. An ex- traordinary range of eriophyoids occupy the plants of this family.

Henke, Ph.D. (Chair of Department) _________________________________ Ambrose Anoruo, Ph.D. (Associate VP for Research & Dean, College of Graduate Studies) August 2011 ABSTRACT Changes in Arthropod Abundance and Diversity with Invasive Grasses (August 2011) Erin E. Cord, B.S., University Of Delaware Chairman of Committee: Dr. Andrea R. Litt Invasive grasses can alter plant communities and can potentially affect arthropods due to specialized relationships with certain plants as food resources and reproduction sites. Kleberg bluestem (Dichanthium annulatum) is a non-native grass and tanglehead (Heteropogon contortus) is native to the United States, but recently has become dominant in south Texas. I sought to: 1) quantify changes in plant and arthropod communities in invasive grasses compared to native grasses, and 2) determine if grass origin would alter effects. I sampled vegetation and arthropods on 90 grass patches in July and September 2009 and 2010 on the King Ranch in southern Texas. Arthropod communities in invasive grasses were less diverse and abundant, compared to native grasses; I also documented differences in presence and abundance of certain orders and families.

  • Acarología Y Aracnología
    ACAROLOGÍA Y ARACNOLOGÍA 47 LA DIVERSIDAD DE ARAÑAS DE LA ISLA QUEVEDO, SINALOA, MEXICO EN OTOÑO Esaú de Jesús Banda-Pérez, Jesús Alejandro Aguilar-Lizárraga, Alfredo López-Vargas y Cruz Judith López-Beltrán. Unidad Académica de Biología, Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa. Av. Universitarios S/N C.P. 80013, Culiacán, Sinaloa, México. [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] RESUMEN. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar la diversidad de arañas del Área Natural Protegida Isla Quevedo. Se realizó un estudio comparativo de la riqueza y abundancia del orden Araneae en 3 tipos de vegetación: matorral espinoso, manglar y dunas. Los especímenes colectados se obtuvieron mediante 3 métodos: colecta manual, red de golpeo y trampas pitfall. Se obtuvieron 302 arañas en total, todas del suborden Araneomorphae, pertenecientes a 10 familias, 17 géneros y 22 especies. En el matorral espinoso se registraron 14 especies, 5 de las cuales se comparten con el manglar. Las 22 especies determinadas representan el primer inventario del orden Araneae para la isla. La mayor riqueza y abundancia se registró en el matorral espinoso, seguido por el manglar y después las dunas, lo cual comprueba que las arañas son abundantes en zonas de vegetación diversa. Palabras clave: Araneae, diversidad, Isla Quevedo, riqueza de especies, arañas. Diversity of spiders in Quevedo Island, Sinaloa, Mexico ABSTRACT. Main objective of this study was to evaluate the diversity of spiders at Protected Natural Area Quevedo Island. A comparative study of richness and abundance of Araneae order was made in 3 types of vegetation: thorn scrub, mangroves and dunes.

    Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison.
