A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • 57. Accident Prevention Plan INTRODUCTION Like Everything Else in a Farm Enterprise, Health and Security Must Be Managed
    Wild Blueberry in a Context of Production Guide... Sustainable Development 57. Accident Prevention Plan INTRODUCTION Like everything else in a farm enterprise, health and security must be managed. This means dedicating a certain amount of time to these concerns, and emphasizing teamwork. The employer must show that he cares about accident prevention, and employees must be involved in fi nding causes and solutions. BILL C-21 AND EMPLOYER OBLIGATIONS In force since March 31, 2004, the Act to amend the Criminal Code of Canada (Bill C-21) included substantial changes with regard to health and safety in the workplace. Employers are now subject to criminal proceedings after a serious accident if measures were not in place to protect the health and safety of workers. In fact, anyone who manages or supervises one or more workers must show that health and safety obligations are respected, taking all reasonable precautions to prevent bodily injury due to accident. Bill C-21 reinforces the Québec Act respecting Occupational health and safety (see References), which stipulates that every worker has a right to working conditions that have proper regard for his health, safety and physical well-being (section 9). The employer thus has an obligation to take whatever measures are necessary to protect the health and safety of workers (section 51). He must ensure that risks are eliminated at the source by organizing the workplace in a safe manner and by training workers on safe techniques and procedures. He is also obligated to provide individual protection equipment, free of charge, and to require workers to use it.

  • Zoogeography of the Holarctic Species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): Importance of the Bering Ian Refuge
    © Entomologica Fennica. 8.XI.l991 Zoogeography of the Holarctic species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): importance of the Bering ian refuge Kauri Mikkola, J, D. Lafontaine & V. S. Kononenko Mikkola, K., Lafontaine, J.D. & Kononenko, V. S. 1991 : Zoogeography of the Holarctic species of the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera): importance of the Beringian refuge. - En to mol. Fennica 2: 157- 173. As a result of published and unpublished revisionary work, literature compi­ lation and expeditions to the Beringian area, 98 species of the Noctuidae are listed as Holarctic and grouped according to their taxonomic and distributional history. Of the 44 species considered to be "naturall y" Holarctic before this study, 27 (61 %) are confirmed as Holarctic; 16 species are added on account of range extensions and 29 because of changes in their taxonomic status; 17 taxa are deleted from the Holarctic list. This brings the total of the group to 72 species. Thirteen species are considered to be introduced by man from Europe, a further eight to have been transported by man in the subtropical areas, and five migrant species, three of them of Neotropical origin, may have been assisted by man. The m~jority of the "naturally" Holarctic species are associated with tundra habitats. The species of dry tundra are frequently endemic to Beringia. In the taiga zone, most Holarctic connections consist of Palaearctic/ Nearctic species pairs. The proportion ofHolarctic species decreases from 100 % in the High Arctic to between 40 and 75 % in Beringia and the northern taiga zone, and from between 10 and 20 % in Newfoundland and Finland to between 2 and 4 % in southern Ontario, Central Europe, Spain and Primorye.

INTRODUCTION The fauna of noctuoid moths (the families Erebidae and Noctuidae) of Kazakhstan is still poorly studied. Only the fauna of West Kazakhstan has been studied satisfactorily (Gorbunov 2011). On the faunas of other parts of the country, only fragmentary data are published (Lederer, 1853; 1855; Aibasov & Zhdanko 1982; Hacker & Peks 1990; Lehmann et al. 1998; Benedek & Bálint 2009; 2013; Korb 2013). In contrast to the West Kazakhstan, the fauna of noctuid moths of East Kazakhstan was studied inadequately.

  • Annotated List of the Lepidoptera of Alberta Bowman 1951
    AN ANNOTATED LIST OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF ALBERTA1.* Abstract This list consists of 1825 species and varieties of Lepidoptera which have been taken in Alberta. Of these, 657 are records of captures in the hitherto almost completely neglected Microlepidoptera. Though few specialists on this continent have studied the taxonomy of this large group, those who have done so in certain families have generously assisted in classifying the species which are recorded. Unfortunately, in a few families it has been ilnpossible to obtain this assistance. Despite the omissions this necessitates, the list constitutes the most comprehensive catalogue of Microlepidoptera which has, up to the present, been attempted for any province in the Donlinion. Arrangement and nomenclature are based on McDunnough's Check List of the Lepidoptera of Catzada alzd the United States, published in 1938 and 1939. Proposed modifications in nomenclature, presented in subsequent publications, are substituted if they appear to be gaining general acceptance. Locality records for captures are presented by a system of ecological areas of which the chief climatological and biological characteristics are briefly described. Introductory Professional entomologists are very greatly aided in the pursuit of their lifeworlc with its practical objectives by the unstinted and critical industry of competent amateurs. Such amateurs have gathered a vast mass of data upon the distribution and the relative abundance of various insects and have recorded valuable information on the biology of the groups to which they For personal use only. have devoted their particular attention. In no field of entbmological endeavor has this been more in evidence than it is in the study of Lepidoptera.

  • 39. Blueberry Leaf Rust
    Wild Blueberry in a Context of Production Guide... Sustainable Development 39. Blueberry Leaf Rust Latin name: Naohidemyces vaccinii (Wint.) Sato, Katsuya et Hiratsuka (Thekopsora minima, Pucciniastrum vaccinii) French name: La rouille Blueberry leaf rust is present in most Québec blueberry fi elds, and its incidence seems to be increasing. It is generally found in one or more sections of a fi eld, often in association with other leaf infections such as powdery mildew and Septoria leaf spot. It has a growing tendency to spread throughout a fi eld where it is present, and infects fi elds both in growth years and crop years. It is characterized as rust-coloured pustules on the underside of leaves. So far in Québec, no infection of blueberry leaf rust alone has required fungicide treatment. DESCRIPTION The incidence of blueberry leaf rust starts to intensify in mid-July. For this reason it has little effect on fi elds that are in a crop year, since harvesting normally occurs in August. In a growth year however, leaf rust can cause extensive leaf spotting and premature leaf drop. By early September there can be signifi cant defoliation, and in severely affected fi elds the production of fl oral buds can be reduced by 30% or more. The symptoms are similar to other leaf diseases, consisting of brown spots in a variety of shapes and sizes, accompanied or not by the leaves turning yellow. However, blueberry leaf rust is easily distinguished by the pustules of rust on the underside of leaves (Figure 1). This fungus produces various types of spores and infections.

  • Thekopsora Minima - Occurrence - Prepared By: Julius Kühn-Institute, Institute for Plant Health On: 4 June, 2015, Dr
    1) Express – PRA for Thekopsora minima - Occurrence - Prepared by: Julius Kühn-Institute, Institute for Plant Health on: 4 June, 2015, Dr. Gritta Schrader; Dr. Wolfgang Maier (Institute for Epidemiology and Pathogen Diagnostics) (translated by Elke Vogt-Arndt) Initiation: Occurrence of blueberry rust on blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) in a nursery in Lower Saxony Express - PRA Thekopsora minima P. Syd. & Syd. 1915 Phytosanitary Risk for high medium low Germany Phytosanitary Risk for high medium low EU-MS Certainty of Assessment high medium low Conclusion The fungus Thekopsora minima is endemic in eastern North America and Japan and is not yet established in Germany. In 2002, it presumably was found for the first time in the EU in Southwest Spain but was wrongly identified as the endemic Pucciniastrum vaccinii (Naohidemyces vaccinii). Up to now T. minima is neither listed in the Annexes of the Dir. 2000/29/EC nor by EPPO. Thekopsora minima infests the highbush blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum which is native to North America and various Rhododendrons and Azaleae as well as various further genera of Ericaceae. Two Tsuga-species are alternating hosts. It can be assumed that due to suitable climate conditions Thekopsora minima is capable to establish outdoors in Germany. An establishment in South European EU-Member States would also be possible. Due to its damage potential for cultivated blueberries, Rhododendrons and other Ericaceae, Thekopsora minima poses a considerable phytosanitary risk for Germany and other EU- Member States. Based on this risk analysis, it can be assumed that the pest is able to establish and cause considerable damage in Germany or other Member States.
