Novel RNA sequences associated with late male killing in Homona magnanima.
Maternally inherited female-biased sex ratios have been documented in many invertebrate species. One cause of such biased sex ratios is male killing, i.e. only males die. In most species, male killing occurs during embryonic stages (early male killing) and is associated with cytoplasmic bacteria, including Wolbachia, Spiroplasma, Rickettsia, Flavobacteria and gamma proteobacteria. However, the ...
متن کاملMass Rearing of the Oriental Fruit Moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
J Econ Entomol 82(6): 1825-1829 (1989) ABSTRACT Oriental fruit moth, Ctapholita molesta (Busck), was reared on modifications of a previously developed small lima bean diet Initial experiments showed that different types of beans substituted for lima beans produced similar yields of oriental fruit moth pupae Fresh, thinning apples provided the best diet for high yields and high pupal weights, bu...

Sequestration, into the ethyl trans-cinnamate, over control QQ hairpencils, of the behaviourally most active courtship pheromone component, in male Grapholita rnolesta (Busck 1916) results in an increased mating success attracted to ethyl cinnamate-treated dd moved significantly faster than 99 attracted to control Cfcf Since control dd that were successful at coupling on average took more attem...
متن کاملField Efficacy and Transmission of Fast- and Slow-Killing Nucleopolyhedroviruses that Are Infectious to Adoxophyes honmai (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
The smaller tea tortrix, Adoxophyes honmai (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is an economically important pest of tea in Japan. Previous work showed that a fast-killing nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) isolated from A. orana (AdorNPV) and a slow-killing NPV isolated from A. honmai (AdhoNPV) are both infectious to A. honmai larvae. Field application of these different NPVs was conducted against an A. honmai...
متن کاملDNA barcoding confirms polyphagy in a generalist moth, Homona mermerodes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Recent DNA barcoding of generalist insect herbivores has revealed complexes of cryptic species within named species. We evaluated the species concept for a common generalist moth occurring in New Guinea and Australia , Homona mermerodes , in light of host plant records and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I haplotype diversity. Genetic divergence among H. mermerodes moths feeding on different...
