Extensive collection of femtolitre pad secretion droplets in the beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata allows nanolitre microrheology.
Pads of beetles are covered with long, deformable setae, each ending in a micrometric terminal plate coated with secretory fluid. It was recently shown that the layer of the pad secretion covering the terminal plates is responsible for the generation of strong attractive forces. However, less is known about the fluid itself because it is produced in an extremely small quantity. We present here ...
متن کاملArtificial diets for rearing the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata
Colorado potato beetles have been reared successfully through 12 generations on artificial diets containing either 2.5% potato leaf powder or 2.5% lettuce leaf powder/0.75% potato leaf powder. For all but one of the treatment groups, the mean duration of each of the four larval stages was between 0.8 and 1.5 days longer than the durations exhibited by control beetles that had been fed on potato...
متن کاملVoltinism and the Induction of Aestival Diapause in the Colorado Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Field studies over 3 yr demonstrated that overwintering populations of the Colorado potato beetle in upstate New York and on Long Island are composed of adults from both the first and second summer generations. The two populations from the climatically different regions differ in their responses to environmental factors that influence voltinism. The critical photoperiod for aestival diapause in...
متن کاملInfluence of fertilization on the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, in organic potato production.
The abundance of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), in organically grown potato did not change significantly in response to increasing rates of dehydrated poultry manure. However, peaks of abundance of larvae were shifted forward in time in response to the high rate of organic fertilizer. Tests using excised foliage showed that the shift was not caused by differential ...
متن کاملNutritional indices of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Col.: Chrysomelidae) on six potato cultivars
سوسک کلرادوی سیب زمینی، Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)، یکی از آفات مهم سیب زمینی در ایران و جهان است. شاخص‌های تغذیه‌ای لاروهای سن آخر این آفت روی برگ ارقام مختلف سیب زمینی (خاوران، ساوالان، لوتا، سانتا، سانته و آئولا) تحت شرایط آزمایشگاهی (دمای 1 ± 25 درجه سلسیوس، رطوبت نسبی 5 ± 65 در‌صد و دوره نوری 16 ساعت روشنایی و 8 ساعت تاریکی) بررسی شد. لاروهای پرورش‌یافته روی رقم سانته کم‌ترین کارا...
