Latest Issue. Volume Issue 6 December The cherry-infesting fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi Loew is a significant commercial pest in Europe that has recently invaded North America. To date, it has been trapped only in Canada and northwestern counties of New York. It has the potential to spread further and threaten production and movement of Eastern New York State is frequently the site of Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata , Say populations with the highest observed levels of insecticide resistance to a range of active ingredients.
The dominance of a resistant phenotype will affect its rate of increase and the Filth flies remain one of the most prevalent pest groups affecting the animal production industry.
Spalangia spp. Diptera: Muscidae , and stable Mosquito control districts in the United States are limited to two main classes of adulticides, pyrethroids and organophosphates, to control mosquitoes. Two adulticides used to control domestic mosquitoes are Fyfanon EW malathion, organophosphate and DeltaGard deltamethrin, pyrethroid. Rosmarinus officinialis L.
A number of thrips species are among the most significant agricultural pests globally. In this study, the behavioral responses of three thrips species, Frankliniella The rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus Stephens , is a serious pest of stored grain, which has developed high levels of resistance to phosphine.
In this study, five geographically distant populations of C. The glassy-winged sharpshooter Homalodisca vitripennis Germar ; Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae is an invasive insect that transmits the plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. Xanthomonadales: Xanthomonadacae.
While adult glassy-winged sharpshooter must feed to Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel is a new fruit fly pest of some fruit types in the north and north eastern areas of South Africa.
In order to determine whether existing cold disinfestation treatment schedules for an indigenous fruit fly pest: Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann would be effective for B. The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus Germar Coleoptera: Curculionidae is an economically important insect pest of bananas. Advances in genomics, proteomics, and sequencing technologies have provided powerful The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, was first discovered in Japan in Chapters in this book dealing with termites identification provide a review on most updated information of their systematics.
Ecologically, termites interact with living and non-living surroundings and deliver a wide range of behaviors. In a separate chapter termites ecology is examined and explored. Termites depend on their gut microbes for digestion of complex polysaccharides of wood into simpler molecules. Information provided on termite gut microbiome and lignocellulose degradation constitutes an important contribution.
Termite biology and social behaviour have been addressed comprehensively. Trail pheromones are responsible for the orientation and recruitment of nestmates to the food sources.
Once arriving at a potential food source, termites assess its quality using a different set of cues. A separate chapter on trail pheromones, cues used during foraging and food assessment, with preferences for foraging sites, contributes a wealth of information. Emphasis has been given on reviewing ecological benefits of termites in other chapters.
The information with respect to termite species as an edible insect and the overall role it plays in food and nutrition security in Africa is quite informative. A separate chapter dealing with importance of termites and termitaria in mineral exploration constitutes a significant step in addressing the economic importance of this insect group.
Arthropods play an important role in maintaining the health of ecosystems, provide livelihoods and nutrition to human communities, and are important indicators of environmental change. Yet the population trends of several arthropods species show them to be in decline. Arthropods constitute a dominant group with 1. Among arthropods, insects are predominant, with ca. Arthropods are closely associated with living and non-living entities alike, making the ecosystem services they provide crucially important.
In order to be effective, plans for the conservation of arthropods and ecosystems should include a mixture of strategies like protecting key habitats and genomic studies to formulate relevant policies for in situ and ex situ conservation.
This two-volume book focuses on capturing the essentials of arthropod inventories, biology, and conservation. Further, it seeks to identify the mechanisms by which arthropod populations can be sustained in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and by means of which certain problematic species be managed without producing harmful environmental side-effects.
This edited compilation includes chapters contributed by over 80 biologists on a wide range of topics embracing the diversity, distribution, utility and conservation of arthropods and select groups of insect taxa. Pests of Onion, Garlic, Ginger and Turmeric, Pests of Rose and Jasmine, Pests of Gingelly, Castor, Mustard and Linseed, Stored grain Pests Pests of Ornamental Plants.
