En premier, je souhaite remercier Frédéric Normand, sans qui ce projet de thèse n’aurait pas pu se concrétiser. Pendant mon volontariat civil au sein son équipe, l’idée d’une thèse est lancée sur cette petite cécidomyie dont on ne sait pas grand-chose. Sans sa persévérance et son soutien, ce projet n’aurait certainement jamais abouti. Merci aussi pour ton encadrement et ton implication au quotidien, pour m’avoir fait découvrir la culture du manguier et ses particularités, et pour tes qualités humaines qui m’ont fait tant apprécier le travail au sein de ton équipe pendant plus de cinq ans ! En deuxième, je souhaite remercier Hélène Delatte, qui dès le début s’est associée à cette thèse. Ton soutien inconditionnel aura été précieux pour le démarrage puis la réussite de cette thèse. Tu m’as fais confiance et m’as formé à des outils et une discipline que je ne connaissais pas. Merci ! Ton enthousiasme et ton dynamisme sont un vrai moteur pour les personnes avec qui tu travailles. Il n’y a jamais d’obstacles (ou presque !) lorsqu’il s’agit d’ADN et de petites bêtes. Je garderai aussi quelques souvenirs mémorables ( ).du congrès en Corée du Sud passé avec toi et Bernard Reynaud. J’en profite pour le remercier de m’avoir accueilli au sein de l’unité PVBMT. Last but not least, je tiens à remercier mon directeur de thèse Samuel Nibouche d’avoir accepté de m’encadrer et d’avoir participé à l’équilibre de cette thèse par ton approche globale et ta prise de recul par rapport aux problématiques. Ta rigueur et ton pragmatisme m’ont souvent aidé à me recadrer quand trop d’idées germées dans ma tête. Merci aussi pour tes lectures et re-lectures critiques des articles et du manuscrit. Ton encadrement m’a fortement enrichi professionnellement. J’adresse également toute ma gratitude à Stéphane Poussier, Alain Roques, Thomas Guillemaud et Virginie Ravigné d’avoir accepté de participer à mon jury de thèse. Je ne doute point que nos prochains échanges me feront encore progresser. Merci à Isabelle Badenhausser qui m’a fait découvrir le monde de la recherche et des insectes, il y a quelques années maintenant et sans qui je n’aurai certainement jamais pris cette voie. Merci aux agriculteurs qui m’ont ouvert leurs vergers pour que je puisse faire mes suivis échantillonnages et avec qui les échanges ont toujours été particulièrement enrichissants. Je remercie tout particulièrement Mr. Law Yat et Xavier Desmulier (CPEA) qui m’ont ouvert malgré les contraintes leur verger quasi quotidiennement pendant la floraison. Merci, aussi à toutes les cécidomyies qui ont fait don de leur corps à la Science !! 2 J’ai eu la chance de travailler au sein de deux unités du CIRAD, juste séparées par une 2x2 voies. Je remercie vivement toutes les personnes que j’y ai côtoyées pendant ces trois années de thèse (et même un peu avant) : …à la station de Bassin Plat, j’ai vraiment apprécié l’ambiance chaleureusement et agréable qui règnent sur la station. Merci à Thierry, Mathieu, Patrick et Fabrice pour leur bonne humeur quotidienne et les échanges que l’on a pu avoir. Merci aux techniciens qui m’ont donné des coups mains fort utiles : Philippe, Doralice, Gilles, Frédéric P., Marie D., et Christian (qui m’a fait concurrence certains soirs pour fermer la station !). Merci à toutes les forces vives de BP qui participent à là bonne ambiance de la station, certain(e)s sont même devenu(e)s des ami(e)s au fil du temps ! Merci à mes collègues de bureau : Claire, Thibault et Anaëlle ! Merci aux deux derniers thésards de BP : Elodie et Thibault et bon courage pour la fin ! Merci à Claire et Eléonore qui n’ont pas perdu leur motivation malgré les dizaines de milliers de larves à compter ! Enfin, merci à toutes les personnes que j’ai croisé plus ou moins longtemps : Marie L., Liliane, Amélie, Camille, Marie R., Murielle… Merci zot tout ! … au 3P, je ne pourrai remercier individuellement toutes les personnes que j’ai croisées tant il y a de l’animation et de l’activité dans cette petite fourmilière. Merci à toutes les personnes qui participent à son bon fonctionnement au quotidien, et à tous celles et ceux qui m’ont fait partagé leur passion pour la recherche. Je vais, quand même, remercier tout particulièrement : Lulu (grand mélomane de la salle de BioMol et le Lucky Luke de la pipette), Martial, Richard et Antoine (pour les superbes photos qui illustrent ma thèse). Merci également à Michel pour les tournois d’échec endiablés, aux Séb’ (grand ou malgache), aux Fred’ du Sud (petit ou crâne luisant), à Pierre et Daphné, Cathy, Audrey, … Quelques dédicaces particulières, aux joueuses et joueurs de basket-ball pour ces lundis soirs pleins de rebonds et de détente (Alice, Adrien, Charlotte, Mathieu, Mathilde, Olivier, Sarra), à Ludo et Suzy (les tous nouveaux parents), et aux ornithos et ami(e)s de la SEOR (F-X, Martin, Jean-Marc, Isabelle, Gaël, Emilie, Damien, Jerry, Marie-Laure, Annie- Claude…). Je souhaiterai remercier ma belle-famille (et Guillaume, qui sait peut-être futur beau- frère !) pour m’avoir intégrer en leur sein et m’avoir fait découvrir toute la richesse de la culture créole réunionnaise (et je ne parle pas uniquement de gastronomie !). Merci pour ces week-end passés en votre compagnie ! Les cartes vont de nouveau être de sortie ! Merci à mes parents Agnès et Louis, à ma sœur Julie et à mes grands-parents qui malgré la distance sont toujours présents à mes côtés et dans mon cœur. Un merci à Alain, Juju, et Thèrèse qui m’ont accueilli lors de mes séjours avignonnais Merci à toi, Aurore, sans qui mon existence serait bien fade ! Merci pour ta patience et pour supporter mon caractère de tête de mule. Je t’aime ! 3 SOMMAIRE Remerciements ................................................................................................................... 2 Sommaire ............................................................................................................................ 4 Résumé en français ............................................................................................................ 7 Résumé en anglais .............................................................................................................. 8 Publications personnelles autour de P. mangiferae ........................................................... 9 Liste des tableaux ............................................................................................................. 10 Liste des figures ................................................................................................................ 11 Introduction...................................................................................................................... 13 Chapitre I Synthèse bibliographique............................................................................... 16 I.1.

  • 1 an Example of Parasitoid Foraging: Torymus Capite
    1 AN EXAMPLE OF PARASITOID FORAGING: TORYMUS CAPITE (HUBER; HYMEMOPTERA: TORYMIDAE [CHALCIDOIDEA]) ATTACKING THE GOLDENROD GALL-MIDGE ASTEROMYIA CARBONIFERA (O. S.; DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) Richard F. Green Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Minnesota Duluth Duluth, MN 55812 U. S. A. INTRODUCTION Van Alphen and Vet (1986) refer to the work of Arthur E. Weis (1983) on a torymid wasp that attacks a gall midge on goldenrod. This system seems to be quite well-studied, particularly, but not exclusively, by Weis. Van Alphen and Vet point out that the parasitoids tend to attack about the same proportion of hosts in patches (galls) with varying numbers of hosts. This has implications for the foraging strategy that the parasitoids use. In this note I want to do three things: (1) outline the basic biology of the organisms involved, (2) describe the results of a foraging experiment conducted by Weis (1983), and (3) interpret the results in terms of Oaten’s stochastic model of optimal foraging. Arthur E. Weis is coauthor of a book (Abrahamson and Weis 1997) on the biology of a three trophic-level system involving a goldenrod stem-gall maker Eurosta solidaginis, its host plant and its enemies. The work described here is earlier work, done an a different species. The biology of the system The species of greatest interest are the torymid parasitoid Torymus capite, which is a larval parasitoid of the gall midge Asteromyia carbonifera, which itself makes blister-like galls on the leaves of goldenrod, especially Canadian goldenrod, Solidgo canadiensis L. (Compositae). There are three generations of gall midge (and its parasitoids) each year.

  • Genomic Designing of Pearl Millet: a Resilient Crop for Arid and Semi-Arid Environments
    Chapter 6 Genomic Designing of Pearl Millet: A Resilient Crop for Arid and Semi-arid Environments Desalegn D. Serba, Rattan S. Yadav, Rajeev K. Varshney, S. K. Gupta, Govindaraj Mahalingam, Rakesh K. Srivastava, Rajeev Gupta, Ramasamy Perumal and Tesfaye T. Tesso Abstract Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.; Syn. Cenchrus ameri- canus (L.) Morrone] is the sixth most important cereal in the world. Today, pearl millet is grown on more than 30 million ha mainly in West and Central Africa and the Indian sub-continent as a staple food for more than 90 million people in agri- culturally marginal areas. It is rich in proteins and minerals and has numerous health benefits such as being gluten-free and having slow-digesting starch. It is grown as a forage crop in temperate areas. It is drought and heat tolerant, and a climate-smart crop that can withstand unpredictable variability in climate. However, research on pearl millet improvement is lagging behind other major cereals mainly due to limited investment in terms of man and money power. So far breeding achievements include the development of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), maintenance counterparts (rf) system and nuclear fertility restoration genes (Rf) for hybrid breeding, dwarfing genes for reduced height, improved input responsive- ness, photoperiod neutrality for short growing season, and resistance to important diseases. Further improvement of pearl millet for genetic yield potential, stress tolerance, and nutritional quality traits would enhance food and nutrition security for people living in agriculturally dissolute environments. Application of molecular technology in the pearl millet breeding program has a promise in enhancing the selection efficiency while shortening the lengthy phenotypic selection process D.

    ECOLOGICAL FACTORS EXPLAINING GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION IN APHIDOMORPHA ASSOCIATED WITH PECAN AND WATER HICKORY TREES A Dissertation by KYLE EDWARD HARRISON Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Raul F. Medina Committee Members, Thomas J. DeWitt Cecilia Tamborindeguy Aaron M. Tarone Head of Department, David W. Ragsdale May 2017 Major Subject: Entomology Copyright 2017 Kyle Harrison ABSTRACT Host-associated differentiation (HAD) is a form of ecologically mediated host-race formation between parasite populations. Since HAD can ultimately lead to speciation, it has been proposed as a way to account for the vast species diversity observed in parasitic arthropods. However, the importance of HAD to species diversity is unclear because the factors explaining the occurrence of HAD are only partially understood. Still, there are several examples of parasite-host case study systems for which there is a known cause of reproductive isolation between host-associated parasite populations. Thus, several biological and ecological factors (e.g., immigrant inviability or allochrony) have been proposed as explanatory factors for HAD occurrence. The body of research presented here represents the first quantitative assessment of the generalized relationship between HAD occurrence and the incidence of the proposed explanatory factors. This research was supported by field experiments that assessed the co-occurrence of HAD and particularly important explanatory factors. These experiments were conducted in a community of Aphidomorpha species living on pecan and water hickory trees. I found that HAD can be explained in general based on the incidence of specific explanatory factors (i.e.

ECOLOGICAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENT Gargaphia decoris DRAKE (HEMIPTERA: TINGIDAE) A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Science at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand Cecilia María Falla 2017 ABSTRACT The Brazilian lace bug (Gargaphia decoris Drake (Hemiptera:Tingidae)) was released in New Zealand in 2010 for the biological control of the invasive weed woolly nightshade (Solanum mauritianum Scopoli (Solanaceae)). Currently there is scarce information about the potential effect of ecological factors on the establishment of this biological control agent. This study investigated: 1) the effect of maternal care and aggregation on nymphal survival and development; 2) the effect of temperature, photoperiod and humidity on G. decoris performance; and 3) the effect of light intensity on S. mauritianum and G. decoris performance. Maternal care and aggregation are characteristic behaviours of G. decoris. These behaviours have an adaptive significance for the offspring and are key determinants for the survival of the species under natural conditions. Maternal care is reported to increase the survival and development of offspring under field conditions, and higher aggregations to increase the survival of the offspring. However, in this study, maternal care negatively affected the survival and development of the offspring, and higher aggregations had no significant impact on offspring survival.

  • Conflict Between Optimal Clutch Size for Mothers and Offspring in the Leaf Miner, Leucoptera Sinuella
    Ecological Entomology (2004) 29, 429–436 Conflict between optimal clutch size for mothers and offspring in the leaf miner, Leucoptera sinuella 1 2 HIDEKI KAGATA andTAKAYUKI OHGUSHI 1Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan and 2Center for Ecological Research, Kyoto University, Kamitanakami Hirano-cho, Japan Abstract. 1. Clutch size in a leaf-mining moth, Leucoptera sinuella (Reutti), was examined to determine whether the clutch size in natural populations meets the prediction of an optimal strategy, through comparisons between the optimal clutch sizes for offspring and for a mother. 2. A field experiment revealed that premature leaf abscission, egg dropping, and larval competition were important selective forces in determining the clutch size of this leaf miner on its host plant, Salix miyabeana. Then, optimal clutch size was predicted using the theoretical model of Weis et al. (1983), from the data obtained in the field experiment. 3. The model predicts that the clutch size that maximises offspring fitness is two, and that the clutch size that maximises reproductive success of the female varies from two to four, depending on the female’s survival rate between oviposition events. The predicted clutch size (two) was identical to the clutch size observed most frequently in the field, assuming > 95% survival rate of females. Suitability of the model of Weis et al. (1983) was discussed based on these results. Key words. Leaf miner, life-history evolution, offspring fitness, optimal strategy, reproductive success. Introduction 1993), attackby natural enemies during the egg or larval The mechanism of clutch size determination is one of the period (Damman, 1991; Damman & Cappuccino, 1991; important components of life-history evolution (Stearns, Siemens & Johnson, 1992), and the maintenance of a suit- 1992), and has been repeatedly examined in several able microclimate during the egg stage (Clark& Faeth, taxonomic groups from both theoretical and empirical 1998).
