Twenty-seven species are found in the Paleocene, 442 in the Eocene and 94 in the Oligocene. The greatest diversity of Curculionoidea is described from the Eocene of Europe and North America. The richest faunas are known from Eocene localities, Florissant (177 species), Baltic amber (124 species) and Green River formation (75 species). The family Curculionidae dominates in all Paleogene localities. Weevil species associated with herbaceous vegetation are present in most localities since the middle Paleocene. A list of Curculionoidea species and their distribution by location is presented. Keywords: Coleoptera; Curculionoidea; fossil weevil; faunal structure; Paleocene; Eocene; Oligocene 1. Introduction Research into the biodiversity of the past is very important for understanding the development of life on our planet. Insects are one of the Main components of both extinct and recent ecosystems. Coleoptera occupied a special place in the terrestrial animal biotas of the Mesozoic and Cenozoics, as they are characterized by not only great diversity but also by their ecological specialization.

  • Nematode, Heterodera Zeae on Maize (Zea Mays L.)
    Management of maize cyst nematode JBiopest 8(2):62-67 (2015) Botanicals- An effective tool for the management of maize cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae on maize (Zea mays L.) S. K. Mehta, B. L. Baheti, B. S. Rathore and *C. P. Nama ABSTRACT Maize cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae (Koshy et al.) has been reported to cause significant losses in Rajasthan due to monocropping of maize, favorable soil and environmental conditions and ignorance of management practices. In present investigation, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of neem (Azadirachta indica), aak (Calotropis procera) and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) leaf powder for the management of maize cyst nematode, H. zeae on maize variety PEHM-2. Plant leaf powders were applied at 1, 2 and 4 g/plant as soil amendment at the time of sowing. A treated chemical check (Phorate 2 kg/ha) and untreated check were also maintained for interpretation of experimental results. Results indicated maximum increase in shoot length, root length, shoot weight and root weight which were observed when neem leaf powders were applied at 4 g/plant followed by aak and water hyacinth leaf powders at 4 g/plant. Significant reduction in nematode population viz., cyst/plant, cyst/100 cc soil, eggs and larvae/cyst and larvae/100 cc soil was also observed with neem leaf powders at 4 g/plant over control.

  • Plant-Parasitic Nematodes and Their Management: a Review
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE): E-Journals Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.8, No.1, 2018 Plant-Parasitic Nematodes and Their Management: A Review Misgana Mitiku Department of Plant Pathology, Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Jinka, Agricultural Research Center, Jinka, Ethiopia Abstract Nowhere will the need to sustainably increase agricultural productivity in line with increasing demand be more pertinent than in resource poor areas of the world, especially Africa, where populations are most rapidly expanding. Although a 35% population increase is projected by 2050. Significant improvements are consequently necessary in terms of resource use efficiency. In moving crop yields towards an efficiency frontier, optimal pest and disease management will be essential, especially as the proportional production of some commodities steadily shifts. With this in mind, it is essential that the full spectrums of crop production limitations are considered appropriately, including the often overlooked nematode constraints about half of all nematode species are marine nematodes, 25% are free-living, soil inhabiting nematodes, I5% are animal and human parasites and l0% are plant parasites. Today, even with modern technology, 5-l0% of crop production is lost due to nematodes in developed countries. So, the aim of this work was to review some agricultural nematodes genera, species they contain and their management methods. In this review work the species, feeding habit, morphology, host and symptoms they show on the effected plant and management of eleven nematode genera was reviewed.

  • Chapter 11. Host Preference Testing for Parasitoids of a Eucalyptus Borer in California
    ASSESSING HOST RANGES OF PARASITOIDS AND PREDATORS _________________________________ CHAPTER 11. HOST PREFERENCE TESTING FOR PARASITOIDS OF A EUCALYPTUS BORER IN CALIFORNIA T. D. Paine,1 J. G. Millar,1 and L. M. Hanks2 1Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, California [email protected] 2Department of Entomology, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois DESCRIPTION OF PEST INVASION AND PROBLEM Of the more than 700 species in the genus Eucalyptus L’Heritier native to Australia and New Guinea, approximately 90 species have been introduced into North America over the last 150 years (Doughty, 2000). Eucalyptus trees were first propagated in California from seed brought from Australia. Insect pests and diseases associated with living trees were not introduced with the seeds. As a result, the trees growing in California were relatively free of pests until the last two decades of the twentieth century (Paine and Millar, 2002). Phoracantha semipunctata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is native to Australia but has been accidentally introduced into virtually all of the Eucalyptus-growing regions of the world, including California, and is causing significant tree mortality in many of those areas (Paine et al., 1993, 1995, 1997). The beetles are attracted to volatile chemical cues produced by downed Eucalyptus and Angophora Cav. trees, broken branches, or standing stressed trees that are suitable larval host material (Chararas, 1969; Drinkwater, 1975; Ivory, 1977; Gonzalez- Tirado, 1987; Hanks et al., 1991). After mating on the bark surface, females oviposit under loose, exfoliated bark. The neonate larvae mine through the outer bark and feed in the nutri- tious inner bark, cambium, and outer layers of xylem (Hanks et al., 1993).

  • Temperature and the Life Cycle of Heterodera Zeae 1
    Journal of Nematology 22(3):414-417. 1990. © The Society of Nematologists 1990. Temperature and the Life Cycle of Heterodera zeae 1 PAULA A. HUTZELL AND LORIN R. KRUSBERG2 Abstract: Development of the corn cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae, was studied in growth chambers at 20, 25, 29, 33, and 36 -+ 1 C on Zea mays cv. Pioneer 3184. The optimum temperature for reproduction appeared to be 33 C, at which the life cycle, from second-stage juvenile (]2) to J2, was completed in 15-18 days; at 36 C, 19-20 days were required. Juveniles emerged from eggs within 28 days at 29 C and after 42 days at 25 C. Although J2 were present within eggs after 63 days at 20 C, emergence was not observed up to 99 days after inoculation. Female nematodes produced fewer eggs at 20 C than at higher temperatures. Key words: corn cyst nematode, Heterodera zeae, life cycle, temperature.

Huxman1,2, and Marc R. Stamerl ABSTHhcT.-Dispersal charactcristics wcre measured for a population of yucca weevils (Scyplwplwrus YUGcae) in a plot consisting of flowering and nonflowering Yucca whipplei. We compared weevil dispersal to yucca distribution, phe­ nology, and caudex temperature. We also compared weevil movement to wind patterns and time ofday. Captured weevils were marked and released into both flowering and nonflowering home plants in the field. Distance traveled, weevil flight direction, and tm'get plant characteristics were recorded.
