Loomans Department of Entomology, Wageningen Agricultural University, Wageningen, The Netherlands During the last decade thrips pests have become key pests inman y cultivated crops throughout Europe and elsewhere in the world. Untill the early eighties Thrips tabaci Lind, was the most prevalent thrips pest, but caused problems only occa­ sionally. Since its accidental introduction in 1983, western flower thrips {Frankli­ niella occidentalis (Pergande) became the number oneke y pest in European green­ houses. In the late eighties it invaded vegetables and ornamentals grown in plastic tunnels and the field as well as fruit trees in the Mediterranean area of Europe. To control thrips pest outbreaks, growers were forced to apply chemical treatments in­ tensively, thus upsetting commercially successful greenhouse IPM programmes. By then no adequate method for biological control of thrips was available. Re­ search on predatory mites of thrips had not yet resulted in a satisfactory solution and studies withpredator y bugswer e still in anexperimenta l phase. In 1990 a research project was initiated between the Department of Entomology of the Wageningen Agricultural University (The Netherlands) with IRTA Cabrils (Spain) and University of Bologna/Bioloab Cesena (Italy),t o enhance the develop­ ment of biological control programmes for thrips pests. The project is financially supported by the Commission of the European Communities, Directorate General VI, within the CAMAR programme. The overall general scientific objective of the project is to collect, evaluate, massproduce and commercial apply natural enemies ofthrip s pests, especially western flower thrips,F. occidentalis. To reach the goals ofth eproject , adetaile dpla n ofwor k was conducted: 1.evaluatio n of literature information on thrips pests and the control capacity of natural enemies already known; 2. performing afield surve y for native natural enemies inEurop e and collection ofparasitoid s (worldwide); 3. development ofa (laboratory ) rearing method for thrips and itsenemies ; evaluation ofne wnatura l enemies ofthrip s inlaborator y experiments; 4. evaluation of natural enemies selected in the third step in experimental greenhouses; 5. testing ofnatura l enemies incommercia l greenhouses and field; 6. assist in development of a mass production and distribution methods and the de­ sign ofadvisor y material. Tasks were divided among theparticipants : Italy concentrated on the evaluation of Orius species, Spain on a study ofnativ e predators and Wageningen on parasitoids of thrips. Criteria developed earlier in Wageningen were used as parameters for pre-introduction selection. This paper first gives an extensive overview of Frankliniella occidentalis and other thripsharmfu l tovegetabl e and ornamental crops inEurope ,the n provides in­ formation about the predators of Frankliniella occidentalis and Thripstabaci, and finally summarizes the present state of affairs on thrips parasitoids, in particular theirpotentia l towards controllingF. occidentalis. vi Frankliniellaoccidentalis and otherthrip s harmful to vegetable and ornamental crops in Europe Maria Grazia Tommasini1 & Stefano Maini2 1 Istituto di Entomologia 'G.Grandi', Universitéd i Bologna, Via Filippo Re 6,40126 Bologna, Italy 2 Dipartimento diBiotecnologi e Agrarie edAmbiental i - Universitéd iAncona , Via Brecce Bianche, 60100Ancona , Italy vu Contents Abstract 1 1.Introductio n 3 2.

Conclusions 33 Acknowledgements 34 References 35 Abstract In this review the status of the thrips pest species in Europe and in particular of Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips), the most important pest thrips in Europe nowadays, is reported based on literature information up to December 1992. Different genera are mentioned amongst the Terebrantia suborder and of the Thripidae family: Thrips, Taeniothrips,Heliothrips, Parthenothrips, Hercinothrips and two genera of the sub-order Tubulifera, family Phlaeothripidae: Liothrips and Haplothrips. Some information regarding the biology, distribution and host plants (bionomics) is summarized. In general the damage induced by thrips, in relation to the different parts of the plant attacked, is discussed. The indirect damage like transmission of viruses, bacteria and fungi is described too. Regarding F. occiden­ talis, also systematic notes and an accurate study of the biology, its distribution in Europe, of the plants damaged worldwide and in Europe in particular, are repre­ sented. The typical damages induced by Western Flower Thrips on different crops are discussed. Ashor tpresentatio n ofmethod s of sampling is indicated. Wageningen Agric. Univ.Papers 95-1(1995) 1.Introductio n Thrips is the common name given to insects of the order of Thysanoptera (thusanos, afringe ;pteron, awing) . The order includes over 5,000species ,mos t of which are small in dimension and slender in body (in temperate regions the length generally ranges from 1-2.5 mm) with a distinct head (Palmer et al., 1989). Mor­ phology of the mouthparts differs from one family to another but feeding behav­ iour is generally similar, being characterized by rasping, puncturing and sucking (Borden, 1915). One oddity of the behaviour of some thrips species is that occa­ sionally they can attack man by piercing the skin (Bailey, 1936). The front and hind wings are very slender, featuring a wide fringe of hairs and only a few veins or none at all. Wing length varies according to group, species and sex; macropter- ous, brachypterous and sometimes apterous adults can all be encountered. In the sub-order of Terebrantia the wings lieparalle l to each other while in the Tubulifera sub-order they are overlapping so that only one is completely visible (Figure 1). The mouthparts of these insects are typically asymmetrical, presenting maxillary and labial palps (Mound, 1971).Th e antennae are short and usually comprise from sixt onin e segments.Th e eyes are compound and three ocelli arepresen t onth e top of the head. The legs feature single- or double-segmented tarsi ending in a vesicle (orbladder) . The abdomen is divided into eleven segments but only ten are visible. The end segments ofTerebranti a usually taper to acon e in females and arebluntl y rounded- off in males, whereas in both sexes of Tubulifera the tenth segment forms a tube ending in a terminal whorl of setae. Details of the structure of external genitalia have been described by Melis (1935), Doeksen (1941), Jones (1954) and Priesner (1964). Terebrantia feature a more marked sexual dimorphism than Tubulifera, with males being smaller and ofpale r colour. Thrips reproduction is either partially or totally parthenogenetic. Either way, the various species are all either arrhenotokous or thelitokous and, according to most authors, females are always diploid and males haploid (Lewis, 1973).A s in alltyp

    RECORDS OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 83 287–290 (2013) SUPPLEMENT Thysanoptera (Insecta) of Barrow Island, Western Australia Laurence A. Mound CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT – Almost 50 species of the insect order Thysanoptera are here listed from Barrow Island, Western Australia, of which several are known only from this island. This cannot be interpreted as indicating that any species is endemic to the island, because almost nothing is known of the Thysanoptera fauna of the nearby mainland. KEYWORDS: Thysanoptera, thrips, Barrow Island INTRODUCTION taxa that have been recognised from the available samples. The Australian fauna of the insect order Thysanoptera is far from exhaustively known. Within the order Thysanoptera, two suborders The number of correctly identified species from are recognised, both of which are well represented this continent was less than 20 in 1915, about 225 on Barrow Island. The Tubulifera comprises in 1960, and almost 400 by 1995. However, even a single family, Phlaeothripidae, whereas the Terebrantia includes five families in Australia the total of 830 species now listed (ABRS 2012) (Mound et al. 2012), of which three were found in seems likely to represent little more than 50% of the Barrow Island samples.

Abstract Caliothrips fasciatus is native to the USA and western Mexico and overwintering adults are regular contaminants in the ‘navel’ of navel oranges exported from California, USA to Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. Due to the long history of regular interceptions of C. fasciatus in Australia, a survey for this thrips was undertaken around airports, seaports, public recreational parks and major agricul- tural areas in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia to determine whether C. fasciatus has successfully invaded Australia. Host plants that are known to support populations of C. fasciatus, such as various annual and perennial agricultural crops, urban ornamentals and weeds along with native Australian flora, were sampled for this thrips. A total of 4675 thrips specimens encompassing at least 76 species from a minimum of 47 genera, and three families were collected from at least 159 plant species in 67 families. Caliothrips striatopterus was collected in Queensland, but the target species, C. fasciatus, was not found anywhere. An undescribed genus of Thripidae, Panchaetothripinae, was collected from ornamental Grevillea (var.

In arrhenotokous reproduction, virgin females initially produce male ofspring; later, when their sons are sexually mature, the mothers begin bisexual reproduction by carrying out oedipal mating with their sons. Because a virgin female produces many male ofspring before oedipal mating occurs, multiple oedipal mating is common. In this study, we investigated the efect of multiple oedipal mating on the population growth of F. occidentalis by using the age-stage, two-sex life table theory. In the arrhenotokous cohorts, all unfertilized eggs developed into males. In the bisexual cohorts, the ofspring sex ratio was signifcantly female biased with the mean number of female ofspring and male ofspring being 72.68 and 29.00, respectively. These were the same as the net reproductive rate of female ofspring and male ofspring. In arrhenotokous cohorts, the number of males available for oedipal mating signifcantly afected the production of female ofspring. The number of female ofspring increased as the number of sons available for oedipal mating increased. Correctly characterizing this unique type of reproduction will provide important information for predicting the timing of future outbreaks of F. occidentalis, as well as aiding in formulating successful management strategies against the species. Te western fower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Tysanoptera: Tripidae), is one of the most economically important insect pests of many horticultural crops especially in greenhouses1,2.

It is varying on time and age of life. The time increasing that cells are increasing, though we can estimate the number of cells in various nerves in a body, brain, sexual platform, etc through a couple system. The coupling system is a new system of the finding of peculiar series of numbers [1], which is applies to many fields. In the cases of Medical Science, it has been observed by calculation that due to disturbing of the couple caused different difficulties in the body. A smooth Coupling cell may produce a healthy body, and it is possible to increase memory by adding particular cells number in a loss position. The coupling system is interesting that, can explain the real mechanism of every cell. There are many types of cells in a living body. Almost all cells follow a couple of system. The coupling system performs coupling between two (say, A, 1st party & B, 2nd party) with keeping relation as 3rd party, denoted by R (Relative Number) mathematically. Keywords: number of cells related to couple system, sexual activity, corona virus, cancer cells, neurons of humans & animals, cause of diseases, memory cells.

Abstract The Tribe Leeuweniini is a group of Old World Phlaeothripinae species that feed and usually induce irregular galls on the leaves of rainforest trees. These thrips all have the last abdominal segment unusually elongate, but this is a variable and homoplastic character state, and the tribe remains ill- defined. Worldwide, 27 species in three genera are now recognised, with five other generic names here included as synonyms of Leeuwenia Karny. From Australia, six species in two genera are recorded here occurring in the eastern rainforests. Four newly described Australian species and their host plants are: Leeuwenia diospyri sp. n. (Diospyros pentamera–Ebenaceae); L. polyosmae sp. n. (Polyosma cunninghamii–Grossulariaceae); L. scolopiae sp. n. (Scolopia braunii–Flacourtiaceae); and L. tetrastigmae sp. n. (Tetrastigma nitens–Vitaceae). The host association of L. convergens Hood is not known, but the sixth species, Neohoodiella jennibeardae Mound and Williams, breeds on two unrelated plants of which the leaves are similar in texture – Ficus coronata (Moraceae) and Rhipogonum elseyanum (Smilacaceae).

    IMPACTS OF INSECTICIDES ON PREDATORY MITE, NEOSEIULUS FALLACIS (ACARI: PHYTOSEIDAE) AND MITE FLARING OF EUROPEAN RED MITES, PANONYCHUS ULMI (ACARI: TETRANYCHIDAE) By Raja Zalinda Raja Jamil A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Entomology–Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT IMPACTS OF INSECTICIDES ON PREDATORY MITE, NEOSEIULUS FALLACIS (ACARI: PHYTOSEIDAE) AND MITE FLARING OF EUROPEAN RED MITES, PANONYCHUS ULMI (ACARI: TETRANYCHIDAE) By Raja Zalinda Raja Jamil Panonychus ulmi, the European red mite, is a major agricultural pest found in most deciduous fruit growing areas. It is the most important mite species attacking tree fruits in humid regions of North America. Bristle-like mouthparts of this mite species pierce the leaf cell wall and ingestion of their contents including chlorophyll causes bronzing injury to leaves. Heavy mite feeding early in the season (late Jun and July) reduce tree growth and yield as well as the fruit bud formation, thereby reduce yields the following year. Biological control of this pest species by predators has been a cornerstone of IPM. Phytoseiid mite, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) is the most effective predator mite in Michigan apple orchards and provides mid- and late-season biological control of European red mites. Achieving full potential of biological control in tree fruit has been challenging due to the periodic sprays of broad-spectrum insecticides. There have been cases of mite flaring reported by farmers in relation to the reduced-risk (RR) insecticides that were registered in commercial apple production in the past ten years. These insecticides are often used in fruit trees to control key direct pests such as the codling moth.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

Why wouldn’t they lean towards evolving in this way if it is so advantageous? Evolution of Alternative Genetic Systems Major classes of systems: ● Diploid males- Diplodiploidy ● Effective haploid males- Haplodiploidy ● Without males- Thelytoky Mixed systems overlap these three major classes. This is where it gets confusing. Diplodiploidy ● Ancestral genetic system ● Individuals have a diploid genome, where each parent contributes a recombined haploid genome to each offspring ● Alternate genetic systems derive from diplodiploidy and evolutionary arise from dynamics such as sex-determination and intersexual conflicts Thelytoky ● Females transmit maternal genes and produce only female offspring ● Endosymbiont related ○ Thelytokous Parthenogenesis: No mating and no males ■ Apomixis: no meiosis, diploid egg produced via mitosis ■ Automixis: meiosis where the two products re-fuse to form a diploid female Aphids alternate between diplodiploidy and apomictic thelytokus parthneogenesis Haplodiploidy ● Arrhenotoky and PGE ● Originated at least 10 different times in Insects!
