Recent progress and key concerns in locust and grasshopper management. Co-chairs : Michel Lecoq, CIRAD-Locust Ecology and Control Unit, France, and Alexandre Latchininsky, Applied Acridology International, University of Wyoming, USA. Introduction: Orthopteroid insects are an essential component of the fauna of many ecosystems, in particular grasslands. Diverse and abundant, they play an important role in nutrient cycling and provide the food base for numerous animals, especially birds, mammals and reptiles. Although abiotic (weather) and biotic (natural enemies) factors keep their numbers under control most of the time, ever so often this regulatory mechanism fails, and a rapid build-up of population occurs. Such upsurge may lead to an outbreak of a local, regional or even transcontinental scale. If such an event happens, the orthopteroid pests (katydids and, much more frequently, the acridids) can destroy sufficient forage to cause human suffering, economic loss, or environmental damage. In such cases, the central dilemma of pest management is that we cannot avoid risks by failing to take action. Allowing a pest outbreak to proceed without intervention can be potentially harmful for humans and the environment. However, there is no doubt that attempts to alter the course of an acridid pest outbreak have incumbent risks, too. Acridid control programs represent risks at an ecosystem level. Chemical insecticides may reduce biodiversity, degrade soil, air, water quality, and bioaccumulate in the food web. Introduced biological control agents may undermine the delicate integrity of co-evolved relationships within an ecosystem. Furthermore, there are potential hazards to human health. Finally, economic and socio-political impacts of large-scale acridid management programs are poorly understood. The end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries were characterized by severe locust and grasshopper outbreaks in different geographical areas. Paradoxically, this upsurge of pest activities coincided with a marked decline of research centers in applied acridology throughout the world, which dramatically reduced our capacity to develop and implement safer, cheaper, and more efficient pest management practices. What challenges are we facing today in the domain of acridid pest control? What traditional and novel tools do we have in our arsenal? Is research a sufficient driver for making acridid pest management sustainable? These questions constitute the leitmotif of the current symposium on the state-of-the-art of the acridid pest management in the new millennium. 4 Plenary Symposium 1 Presentations (each presented paper in Symposium 1 is 20 minutes in length, plus 5 minutes for summary, questions or discussion) 1330 Jeffrey Lockwood, University of Wyoming, USA.

The biochemical, physiological and ecological mechanisms underlying the expression of phase change continue to be investigated

Here we found our first flowers, the extremely common Autumn Squill Prospero autumnale, the striped, hooded spathes of Friar’s Cowl Arisarum vulgare, and a number of Crocus mazziaricus. A few butterflies included Long-tailed Blue, Lang’s Short-tailed Blue, Eastern Bath White, Mallow Skipper and a Pigmy Skipper. We continued along the newly-completed coast road, before turning inland and climbing steeply into the mountains. We arrived in Kalavrita around 6pm and after settling in to our hotel, we enjoyed a delicious meal of home-cooked food at a nearby taverna. Day 2 Thursday 25th October We awoke to a sunny day with cloud over the mountains. Above Kalavrita, we explored an area of Kermes Oak scrub and open pasture, where we found more white Crocus mazziaricus and Crocus melantherus. Crocus melantherus, as its name suggests can be distinguished from other autumn-flowering species by its black anthers and purple feathering on the outer tepals. Cyclamen hederifolium was common under the shade of the trees.

  • Mole Crickets Scapteriscus Spp
    Mole Crickets Scapteriscus spp. Southern mole cricket, Scapteriscus borellii Tawny mole cricket, Scapteriscus vicinus DESCRIPTION OF INSECT All stages live in the soil and are rarely see on the surface. Immature stage Nymphs of both species are similar in appearance to adults, but lack wings. Nymphs proceed through 8-10 instars ranging in size from 0.2 to 1.25 inches in length. Each instar is progressively larger with wing buds apparent on later instars. Color varies from gray to brown. Pronotum (large shield behind head) with distinctive mottling or spots, depending on species and location. Mature stage Adults are somewhat cylindrically shaped, light colored crickets 1.26 to 1.38 inches in length. Adults have two pairs of wings, but only fly at night during two brief flight periods in fall and early spring. Spring flights are generally more extensive than fall flights. Damaging stage(s) Both nymphs and adults cause damage Predictive models (degree day, plant phenology, threat temperatures, other) Eggs being to hatch at threat temperatures of 65° F and higher (spring/early summer in most locations). Egg-laying and hatch timing are affected by soil moisture. Threat temperatures can be used to trigger preventive treatments. See the article, “Threat temperatures” for more information. Preventive treatments should be applied prior to egg-hatch (early June) or at the time of peak hatch (last week of June, first week of July in most years and locations). Weekly soap flushes in June and early July is the best method to determine when hatch is occurring, and the best time to treat.

Populations are known to currently occupy fragmented prairie sites in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri, including The Nature Conservancyʼs Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in north central Oklahoma. Prairie mole cricket populations were surveyed at this site and at another site in Craig County, OK during the spring of 2005 and 2006, using the male cricketʼs acoustic call to locate advertising aggregations of males. Five males from one large aggregation were removed in a study to describe (1) the hearing thresholds across the callʼs range of frequencies, (2) the distances over which the higher harmonic components of the maleʼs calls are potentially detectable, (3) the speciesʼ sensitivity to ultrasound and (4) the spatio-auditory dynamics of the prairie mole cricket lek. Results indicate that G. major has a bimodal pattern of frequency tuning, with hearing sensitivities greatest at the 2 kHz carrier frequency (41 dB SPL) and declining through the callʼs frequency range (84 dB at 10 kHz).

Cerro de las Campanas, Querétaro, México. 2Department of Agroecology, Colegio de la Frontera Sur, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México. Accepted 16 December, 2011 Acridoidea is a superfamily within the Orthoptera order that comprises a group of short-horned insects commonly called grasshoppers. Grasshopper and locust species are major pests of grasslands and crops in all continents except Antarctica. Economically and historically, locusts and grasshoppers are two of the most destructive agricultural pests. The most important locust species belong to the genus Schistocerca and populate America, Africa, and Asia. Some grasshoppers considered to be important pests are the Melanoplus species, Camnula pellucida in North America, Brachystola magna and Sphenarium purpurascens in northern and central Mexico, and Oedaleus senegalensis and Zonocerus variegatus in Africa. Previous studies have classified these species based on specific characteristics. This review includes six headings. The first discusses the main species of grasshoppers and locusts; the second focuses on their worldwide distribution; the third describes their biology and life cycle; the fourth refers to climatic factors that facilitate the development of grasshoppers and locusts; the fifth discusses the action or reaction of grasshoppers and locusts to external or internal stimuli and the sixth refers to elements to design management strategies with emphasis on prevention.

The acoustic chambers of the European mole cricket Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa (L., 1758) were studied in the north-west of Iran. Observations showed that all the calling burrows in this area had one horn shape entrance and branching tunnels beyond the bulb (the site of the head and thorax of insect in calling position). The patterns of these burrows were alike; however, the sizes of different parts of tunnels were dependent on the dimension of males.
