Aphid insects are serious group and producing chlorotic areas and sooty mould at feeding of pests, which attack decorative, and wild, native plants. In locations; premature leaf drop; and distorting stems and this study a total of 160 species of Aphids belonging to 73 bark. Large population of Aphids can kill branches, and genera, 9 subfamilies and 3 families are listed. Aphididae, unchecked infestations may kill plant. Expended use of with 7 subfamilies is the most numerous family, among ornamental plants has caused their cash value to rival and which the following genera are most numerous: Aphidinae in some instances exceed.

  • THE APHID FAUNA (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) of WATERMELONS
    Entomol. Croat. 2011, Vol. 15. Num. 1-4: 177-183 Proceedings of the XXII Symposium Internationale Entomofaunisticum Europae Centralis THE APHID FAUNA (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) OF WATERMELONS Tanja GOTLIN ČULJAK1, Katja ŽANIĆ2, Smiljana GORETA BAN2, Dean BAN3, Gvozden DUMIČIĆ2 & Dinka GRUBIŠIĆ1 1Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb, Svetošimunska cesta 25, 10000, Zagreb Croatia; [email protected] 2 Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation, Put Duilova 11, 21000, Split , Croatia 3 Institute of Agriculture and Tourism, Carla Huguesa 8, 52440 Poreč, Croatia Accepted: December 19th 2011 In this paper the fauna of aphids appearing on watermelons in the area of the Neretva valley is presented. Not only do they feed on the plants, but aphids can transmit virus diseases. The natural spread of aphid transmitted cucurbit viruses is often accomplished by Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), Aphis craccivora Koch, Aphis gossypii Glover and Myzus persicae (Sulzer). Aphid- transmitted viruses in cucurbits have been poorly investigated in Croatia, although Cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV) sporadically occurs on cucurbits. The aim of this study was to investigate and identify aphid species in a watermelon field. The field experiment with watermelons [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum & Nakai] was conducted during 2004 and 2005 at Opuzen (43°00’N, 17°34’E, 3 m elevation), located in the Mediterranean area of Croatia. Opuzen is situated in the delta of the river Neretva River, the most important watermelon-growing area in Croatia. Aphid sampling was carried out using yellow water traps (70x70x12 cm). Traps were installed at the date of transplanting and observed daily in order to determine initial aphid flight prior to the first sampling.

  • Aspects of the Biology and Taxonomy of British Myrmecophilous Root Aphids
    Aspects of the biology and taxonomy of British myrmecophilous root aphids. by Richard George PAUL, BoSc.(Lond.),17.90.(Glcsgow). Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosopk,. of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial Colleao Decemi)or 1977. Dopartaent o:vv. .;:iotory)c Cromwell Road. 1.0;AMOH )t=d41/: -1- ABSTRACT. This thesis concerns the biology and taxonomy of root feeding aphids associated with British ants. A root aphid for the purposes of this thesis is defined as an aphid which, during at least part of its life cycle feeds either (a) beneath the normal soil surface or (b) beneath a tent of soil that has been placed over it by ants. The taxonomy of the genera Paranoecia and Anoecia has been revised and some synonomies proposed. Chromosome numbers have been discovered for Anoecia spp. and are used to clarify the taxonomy. The biology of Anoecia species has been studied and new facts about their life cycles have been discovered. A key is given to the British r European, African and North American species of Anoeciinae and this is included in a key to British myrmecophilous root aphids. Suction trap catches (1968-1976) from about twenty British traps have been used as a record of seasonal flight patterns for root aphids. All the Anoecia species caught in 1975 and 1976 were identified on the basis of new taxonomic work. Catches which had formerly all been identified as Anoecia corni were found to be A. corni, A. varans and A. furcata. The information derived from the catches was used to plot relative abundance and distribution maps for the three species.

  • Population Genetics in Biological Control: Cryptic Species, Host-Associations, and the Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution
    Population Genetics in Biological Control: Cryptic Species, Host-associations, and the Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution By Jeremy C Andersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science Policy and Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nicholas J. Mills, Chair Professor George K. Roderick Professor Rasmus Nielsen Spring 2015 ABSTRACT Population Genetics in Biological Control: Cryptic Species, Host-associations, and the Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution by Jeremy C Andersen Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science Policy and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Nicholas J Mills, Chair In this dissertation I expand upon our knowledge in regards to the utility of population genetic approaches to be used for the study of the evolution of introduced biological control agents and their target pests. If biological control methods are to provide sustainable pest management services then more long-term studies will be necessary, and these studies should also include the use of population genetic approaches. For existing biological control programs, post-release population genetic studies could be initiated using museum voucher specimens for baseline data. In Chapter 2, I explored what factors influence our ability to extract usable genomic material from dried museum specimens, and whether we could use non-destructive techniques for parasitic hymenoptera. I found that the age of the specimen was the most important determinant for the amplification of PCR products, with nuclear loci having a higher probability of amplification from older specimens than mitochondrial loci. With these sequence results I was able to differentiate voucher specimens of different strains of the biological control agent Trioxys pallidus and I was able to confirm the identification of an unknown parasitoid reared from the invasive light brown apple moth.
