  • Landscape Diversity for Reduced Risk of Insect Damage: a Case Study of Spruce Bud Scale in Latvia
    Article Landscape Diversity for Reduced Risk of Insect Damage: A Case Study of Spruce Bud Scale in Latvia Endijs Baders¯ 1,* ID , Aris¯ Jansons 1, Roberts Matisons 1, Didzis Elferts 1,2 ID and Iveta Desaine 1 1 Latvian State Forest Research Institute “Silava”, R¯ıgas str. 111, LV–2169 Salaspils, Latvia; [email protected] (A.J.);¯ [email protected] (R.M.); [email protected] (D.E.); [email protected] (I.D.) 2 Faculty of Biology, University of Latvia, Jelgavas str. 1, LV–1004 R¯ıga, Latvia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +371-27-043-293 Received: 6 August 2018; Accepted: 4 September 2018; Published: 5 September 2018 Abstract: Spruce bud scale (Physokermes piceae (Schrnk.) has gained attention due to recent outbreaks in the eastern Baltic Sea region—Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. In the spring of 2010, it spread rapidly across Latvia, affecting large areas of Norway spruce stands. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the effects of landscape heterogeneity on the damage caused by spruce bud scale in Norway spruce stands. In this study, we evaluated landscape metrics for middle-aged (40 to 70 years old) Norway spruce-dominated stands (>70% of stand’s basal area) in four of the most affected forest massifs and two unaffected forest massifs. We used a binary logistic generalized linear mixed effects model (GLMMs) to assess the effect of environmental factors on the abundance of the spruce bud scale. Our results show that increased local diversity within 100 m of a forest patch apparently reduced the probability of spruce bud scale presence.

ZooKeys 565: 1–28. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.565.6877 Abstract In the last decades, several expeditions were organized in Europe by the researchers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum to collect snails, aquatic insects and soil animals (mites, springtails, nematodes, and earthworms). In this study, scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) specimens extracted from Hun- garian Natural History Museum soil samples (2970 samples in total), all of which were collected using soil and litter sampling devices, and extracted by Berlese funnel, were examined. From these samples, 43 scale insect species (Acanthococcidae 4, Coccidae 2, Micrococcidae 1, Ortheziidae 7, Pseudococcidae 21, Putoidae 1 and Rhizoecidae 7) were found in 16 European countries.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new scale insect, Aolacoccus angophorae gen. nov. and sp. nov. (Eriococcidae), is described from the bark of Ango- phora (Myrtaceae) growing in the Sydney area of New South Wales, Australia. These insects do not produce honeydew, are not ant-tended and probably feed on cortical parenchyma. The adult female is pupillarial as it is retained within the cuticle of the penultimate (second) instar. The crawlers (mobile first-instar nymphs) emerge via a flap or operculum at the posterior end of the abdomen of the second-instar exuviae. The adult and second-instar females, second-instar male and first-instar nymph, as well as salient features of the apterous adult male, are described and illustrated. The adult female of this new taxon has some morphological similarities to females of the non-pupillarial palm scale Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell (Phoenicococcidae), the pupillarial palm scales (Halimococcidae) and some pupillarial genera of armoured scales (Diaspididae), but is related to other Australian Myrtaceae-feeding eriococcids.

  • American Museum Novitates
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES Number 3812, 36 pp. August 29, 2014 Morphology of the males of seven species of Ortheziidae (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) ISABELLE M. VEA1 ABSTRACT Because adult male Coccoidea rarely live more than three or four days, they are seldom collected and their morphology has been little studied. herefore, the systematics of the Coc- coidea is dependent on the morphology of the paedomorphic adult female. A good example is the family Ortheziidae, in which the males of only four extant and three fossil taxa are known among more than 200 species. he present work provides descriptions of the male morphology of seven further species: Graminorthezia graminis (Tinsley), Insignorthezia insig- nis (Browne), Newsteadia americana Morrison, Orthezia annae Cockerell, O. newcomeri Mor- rison, and Praelongorthezia praelonga (Douglas), as well as another belonging to an undetermined genus. he males of three additional genera are added to the previous litera- ture on male Ortheziidae, providing signiicantly better sampling of male morphological variation within this family. Variation among genera conirms the latest classiication of Kozár, in which Graminorthezia, Insignorthezia, and Praelongorthezia are separated from Orthezia. he use of confocal microscopy for the study of uncleared slide preparations is discussed as it allowed better visibility of macrostructures, although minute structures such as pores could not be thoroughly observed. An identiication key to the species of known male Ortheziidae is included. INTRODUCTION The Ortheziidae or ensign scale insects are a relatively small family within the scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) with 206 species (Miller et al., 2013) that are found pri- 1 Richard Gilder Graduate School, Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, New York.

    POSTER PRESENTATIONS ______________________________________________________________ Poster Presentations 423 IMPROVEMENT OF RELEASE METHOD FOR APHIDOLETES APHIDIMYZA (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE) BASED ON ECOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL STUDIES Junichiro Abe and Junichi Yukawa Entomological Laboratory, Kyushu University, Japan ABSTRACT. In many countries, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) has been used effectively as a biological control agent against aphids, particularly in greenhouses. In Japan, A. aphidimyza was reg- istered as a biological control agent in April 1999, and mass-produced cocoons have been imported from The Netherlands and United Kingdom since mass-rearing methods have not yet been estab- lished. In recent years, the effect of imported A. aphidimyza on aphid populations was evaluated in greenhouses at some Agricultural Experiment Stations in Japan. However, no striking effect has been reported yet from Japan. The failure of its use in Japan seems to be caused chiefly by the lack of detailed ecological or behavioral information of A. aphidimyza. Therefore, we investigated its ecological and behavioral attributes as follows: (1) the survival of pupae in relation to the depth of pupation sites; (2) the time of adult emergence in response to photoperiod during the pupal stage; (3) the importance of a hanging substrate for successful mating; and (4) the influence of adult size and nutrient status on adult longev- ity and fecundity. (1) A commercial natural enemy importer in Japan suggests that users divide cocoons into groups and put each group into a plastic container filled with vermiculite to a depth of 100 mm. However, we believe this is too deep for A. aphidimyza pupae, since under natural conditions mature larvae spin their cocoons in the top few millimeters to a maxmum depth of 30 mm.
