In and around the raspberry plantation, the com­ monest species collected by the two methods were the short-nosed weevils of subfamilies Otiorhynchinae and Thylacitinae, mainly generalist species with root-feeding larvae.

The present study illustrates these associations that Sword fern provides new world and North American host records of fern herbivores. Bracken The fossil record of these families is used to determine if the most ancient Hymenoptera of these insects (dating from the Mesozoic) are now mostly restricted to Hemiptera ferns and the most recent ones (dating from the Cenozoic) are mostly Diptera polyphagous, feeding on ferns as well as various angiosperms. Results Lepidoptera indicate that the insect clades belonging to the most ancient families, such Coleoptera as Aneugmenuss and Strongylogaster in the Tenthredinidae and Dasineura and Mycodiplosis in the Cecidiomyiidae, appear to be monophagous on ferns.

  • Root Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Ground Beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Immigration Into Strawberry Plots Protected by Fence Or Portable Trench Barriers
    PEST MANAGEMENT Root Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Ground Beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Immigration into Strawberry Plots Protected by Fence or Portable Trench Barriers 1 MICHAEL K. BOMFORD AND ROBERT S. VERNON PaciÞc Agri-Food Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Box 1000, Agassiz, BC, Canada V0M 1A0 Environ. Entomol. 34(4): 844Ð849 (2005) ABSTRACT Physical exclusion shows some potential as a novel root weevil control strategy, but barriers to root weevil immigration may also exclude beneÞcial insects, such as ground beetles. A Þeld study was undertaken in 1997 to assess the impact of two physical barriersÑportable plastic trenches and aluminum fences with Teßon tapeÑon root weevil and ground beetle immigration into plots of strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa (Duchesne). Barypeithes pellucidus (Boheman) and Nemocestes incomptus (Horn), each comprised 43% of the root weevils caught at the site. Most (86%) of the ground beetles caught in control plots were longer than 1 cm, the width of the gap in the portable trench top. Trenches excluded 75 and 63% of B. pellucidus and N. incomptus, respectively, without signiÞcantly reducing immigration of large (Ͻ1 cm) ground beetles. Fences excluded 65, 84, and 99% of B. pellucidus, N. incomptus, and large ground beetles, respectively. Adding diatomaceous earth to trenches did not increase their efÞcacy, and fences without Teßon tape excluded ground beetles but not root weevils. The reduction in the population of root weevils and other strawberry pests caused by the use of barriers reduced damage to strawberry plant leaves and increased strawberry plant survival relative to unprotected control plots. Advantages and disadvantages of these physical control tools are discussed with a view to creating superior tools for root weevil exclusion, compatible with an integrated pest management approach.

  • The Basis of Obscure Root Weevil Resistance in Rhododendron- - Some Thoughts on the Reasons for Investigating the Resistance of Plants to Insects1
    Sept.-Oct.-Nov. ORNAMENTALS Robert P. Doss 1979 USDA-SDA-AR Ornamental Plants NORTHWEST Vol. 3, Issue 5 Research Laboratory ARCHIVES Pages 24-27 Puyallup, WA 98371 THE BASIS OF OBSCURE ROOT WEEVIL RESISTANCE IN RHODODENDRON- - SOME THOUGHTS ON THE REASONS FOR INVESTIGATING THE RESISTANCE OF PLANTS TO INSECTS1 Abstract A study of the resistance of Rhododendron species to foliar feeding by obscure root weevil has provided several interesting observations. Resistant species are more often found in the lepidote branch of the genus. Resistance is basically of the nonpreference type and may be conferred by either morphological or biochemical characteristics of individual species. Feeding stimulants have been identified in both susceptible and resistant Rhododendron species using a membrane filter feeding bioassay. Sucrose is one feeding stimulant compound. Chemical feeding inhibitors are found in some resistant varieties. The study of the resistance of plants to insects is both economically and environmentally rewarding. Study of the basis of resistance in plants should yield information useful in developing novel pest management schemes. Text The genus Rhododendron consists of roughly 1000 species and many named hybrids. Leach (1961) shows the commonly accepted Rhododendron taxonomic pattern with the genus divided into three branches. The elepidote and azalea branches lack scales whereas all the species within the lepidote branch have scales. Rhododendron taxonomy is currently undergoing modification but the modified schemes will be similar to the one described by Leach (1961). We are studying the basis of resistance to weevil feeding in Rhododendron, focusing on the obscure root weevil (Sciopithes obscurus Horn) which is a common indigenous species found from Monterrey Bay, California to Vancouver, British Columbia (Van Dyke, 1935).

  • A Review of the Insects and Mites Found on Taxus Spp
    United States Department of Agriculture A Review of the Insects and Forest Service Mites Found on Taxus spp. Pacific Northwest Research Station General Technical With Emphasis on Report PNW-GTR-433 November 1998 Western North America John D. Lattin Author JOHN D. LATTIN is professor of entomology, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Department of Entomology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-2907. Work is from a partnership at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, administered by the Pacific Northwest Research Station. Paper originally presented at the International Yew Resources Conference, Berkeley, CA, March 12-13, 1993. Abstract Lattin, John D. 1998. A review of the insects and mites found on Taxus spp. with emphasis on western North America. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-433. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 12 p. Forty-two species of insects and mites found on Taxus are discussed, including all those known to occur in North America, of which 27 occur in western North America. Thirty-eight species are phytophagous, and 28 of these have sucking, rather than chewing, mouth parts. It is suggested that some of the chemical compounds present in the foliage of different species Taxus select against chewing insects and favor fluid- feeding arthropods. Keywords: Taxus, yew, insects, mites, host plant association, North America. Contents 1 Introduction 2 Phytophagus Arthropods 2 The Mites: Acari 2 Insects: Insecta 6 Predaceous and Parasitic Arthropods 7 Discussion and Conclusions 8 Acknowledgments 8 References Introduction Experienced insect collectors, especially lepidopterists, have long known that species of Taxus have a depauparate insect fauna1 compared to other trees, including other conifers.

  • Evolution of Body Mass in Coleoptera: Insights from Museum Specimens and DNA Barcodes
    Evolution of Body Mass in Coleoptera: Insights from Museum Specimens and DNA Barcodes by Jingchan Hu A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Jingchan Hu, December 2019 ABSTRACT Evolution of Body Mass in Coleoptera: Insights from Museum Specimens and DNA Barcodes Jingchan Hu Advisor: University of Guelph, 2019 Dr. Paul D. N. Hebert Advisory Committee Members: Dr. Sarah J. Adamowicz Dr. Jinzhong Fu This thesis investigates the evolution of body mass in Coleoptera, one of the most diverse orders of animals. By quantifying the mass of over 3,000 Canadian species using museum specimens stored at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics, it describes fundamental yet under- investigated aspects of body mass variation in Coleoptera, such as species-size distributions and the partitioning of variation at different taxonomic levels. Using DNA barcode sequences and backbone phylogenies, it also illustrates trajectories of mass evolution, evaluating the influence of phylogenetic constraints and ecological specialization. Both lineage-wide patterns as well as phylogenetic parameters in Coleoptera appear to diverge strongly from trends noted in vertebrate groups, providing new insights into the evolution of a fundamental biological trait. As well, this thesis provides direction and methodologies for future studies to utilize museum specimens in investigations of arthropod body mass. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was funded by a Discovery Grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) awarded to Dr. Paul Hebert. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Hebert for being my advisor for this thesis, and for his feedback and advice throughout.
