Effects of Host Plant Phenology on Oviposition Preference of Crocidolomia pavonana (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Field studies have demonstrated mixed success in trap cropping to manage Crocidolomia pavonana ( binotalis) [F.], a major pest of cruciferous crops in Asia. A possible explanation for this is an inßuence of host plant phenology on oviposition preference. We tested this in simultaneous two-choice oviposition bioassays under laboratory conditions. In cylindrical cardboard experimental arenas, wit...
متن کاملHost Plant Preference of Mansonia Mosquitoes
Human brugian filariasis, which is caused by Brugia malayi and B. timori , affects 13 million people in the oriental region (WHO 2002) and is most common in India and China (Ottesen et al. 1997). The most important vectors of B. malayi , in the endemic countries of South-east Asia, are different Mansonia species in the subgenus Mansonioides . The vectors of the parasite causing brugian filarias...
متن کاملOvipositional Host Plant Preference of Sepia officinalis
The present study was undertaken to verify ancient data in the literature on ovipositional preference o f the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis for the terrestrial plant Pistacia lentiscus (mastic tree). Adult specimens o f Sepia were placed in basins together with aerial parts not only of P. lentiscus, but also o f Artemisia arborescens, Centaurea alba var. deusta, Quercus ilex and Laurus nobilis. ...
متن کاملHost plant choice in the comma butterfly-larval choosiness may ameliorate effects of indiscriminate oviposition.
In most phytophagous insects, the larval diet strongly affects future fitness and in species that do not feed on plant parts as adults, larval diet is the main source of nitrogen. In many of these insect-host plant systems, the immature larvae are considered to be fully dependent on the choice of the mothers, who, in turn, possess a highly developed host recognition system. This circumstance al...
متن کاملAdult Phyllophaga Ephilida Host Plant Feeding Preference
Limited biological information about Phyllophaga ephilida , a major sweet potato pest in Louisiana, is available. In 2001 and 2002, a study was conducted in the laboratory to investigate the feeding preference of adult Phyllophaga ephilida (Say) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) for the foliage of eight woody plant species: water oak ( Quercus nigra L.), live oak ( Quercus virginiana Mill.), red maple...
