Australian Journal of Entomology (2006) 45, 122–129 Populations of North American bean thrips, Caliothrips fasciatus (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae: Panchaetothripinae) not detected in Australia Mark S Hoddle,1* Christina D Stosic1 and Laurence A Mound2 1Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA. 2Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO Entomology, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. 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.

Contreras and John M. Ruter University of Georgia, Dept. of Horticulture, Tifton, GA 31793 [email protected] Index Words: beautyberry, species evaluation, ornamental plant breeding Significance to Industry: There is a great deal of available Callicarpa L. germplasm that has yet to be utilized by the nursery industry in the U.S. Taxa currently being evaluated are likely to have potential as breeding material or direct commercial marketability. With new breeding material and selections for introduction the number of beautyberry cultivars for use in southeastern gardens has the potential to expand greatly. Nature of Work: Callicarpa L. is a genus of ~150 species of shrubs and trees distributed throughout the world including warm-temperate and tropical America, SE Asia, Malaysia, Pacific Islands, and Australia (5) with the greatest concentration of species found in SE Asia, specifically the Philippine Islands (1). Of the New World species the highest concentration occurs in Cuba, with ~20 native species (1). There are currently four species commonly found in cultivation in the U.S.: C. americana L., C. bodinieri Lév., C. dichotoma (Lour.)K.Koch, and C. japonica Thunb. with a limited number of varieties or cultivars of each to choose from (3). Beautyberries, desired primarily for their handsome berries produced in fall, have been selected for white-fruiting varieties, finer textured varieties, increased berry production, and variegated foliage.

  • Vase Life of Floral and Vegetative Stems of Costaceae(1)
    MARCOS ANTONIO DA SILVA JÚNIOR et. al 443 SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE Vase life of floral and vegetative stems of Costaceae(1) MARCOS ANTONIO DA SILVA JÚNIOR(2), PETTERSON BAPTISTA DA LUZ(2)*, CAROLINA DE FARIA CABRAL PAES PEREIRA E BARROS(2), CAROLINA MOREIRA DE MEDEIROS(2) ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the vase life of floral and vegetative stems of Costaceae and describe their morphological characteristics. To evaluate the vase life of floral and vegetative stems, four and six species were used, respectively. Three cutting stages were established for floral stems. Stems were cut a few days before flower opening at stage 1, upon opening of the first flower(s) (anthesis) at stage 2, and when floral stems showed more than 15 opened flowers at stage 3. However, only two different stages were applied for each species. Floral stems were standardized with 50 cm in length, while vegetative stems were standardized with 70 cm in length. The morphological characteristics determined for floral stems included diameter of the floral stem, length of inflorescence, diameter of inflorescence and fresh mass of floral stem. For vegetative stems, we considered diameter and fresh mass. After the first evaluation, stems were maintained at 22 ºC and 53% of humidity. The total number of post-harvest days (global longevity) in which the quality of floral and vegetative stems was acceptable were evaluated. The highest vase life for floral stems at stage 1 was observed for Costus woodsoni, Costus arabicus x Costus spiralis (Costus Tropicales), and Costus scaber. Hellenia speciosa showed higher vase life at stage 3.

  • Latitudinal Gradient in Leaf Defense Traits of Woody Plants Along Japanese Archipelago
    Latitudinal gradient in leaf defense traits of woody plants along Japanese archipelago 日本産樹木種における、葉防御形質の緯度傾度 Saihanna 1 General Introduction It is estimated that over the twenty million species of organisms are living on our planet, and all of these organisms adapted to their own living environment, namely niche (Hatchinson 1957). Not only the abiotic factors but biotic interaction plays a key role in the maintenance of biodiversity. Animal-plant interactions are one of the most important topic in community ecology (e.g. Morin 1999). Plants and herbivore insects have accounted for about half of the entire diversity on the earth (Strong et al., 1984). Plant-herbivore interactions are extremely complex, which should lead the tremendous diversity of both plants and herbivores (e.g. Gutierrez et al., 1984; Hay et al., 1989). Although the interaction between these two components, namely co-speciation, should account for this diversification, most of the studies so far, tend to explain this interaction only from one side of them. Plants have interacted with insect herbivores for several hundred million years, which should lead to complex defense systems against various herbivores (Fürstenberg-Hägg et al., 2013). This interaction between plants and herbivores has long proposed the opportunity for studying the mechanism of the creation and maintenance of biological diversity because of its universality and generality (Strong et al. 1984; Ali and Agrawal 2012). It is believed that the evolution of plant defense traits followed by counter-adaptations in herbivores could lead to bursts of adaptive radiation of both components (Ehrlich and Raven 1969). Understanding the coevolution of plant and insect species and macroevolution of adaptive traits has inspired biologists for some decades, yet has been challenging to study even present days (Schluter, 2000).

The current pantropical distribution of the order suggests an historical Gondwanan distribution, however the evolutionary history of the group has never been analyzed in a temporal context to test if the order is old enough to attribute its current distribution to vicariance mediated by the break-up of the supercontinent. Based on a phylogeny derived from morphological and molecular characters, we develop a hypothesis for the spatial and temporal evolution of Zingiberales using Dispersal-Vicariance Analysis (DIVA) combined with a local molecular clock technique that enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple gene loci with multiple calibration points.
