Identity of Two Sympatric Species of Orius (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae)
The minute pirate bugs, Orius insidiosus (Say) and Orius pumilio (Champion) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Anthocoridae), are closely related species known to be sympatric in north Florida. Here, male and female genitalia, DNA sequences, and the effects of within- and between-species pairings on egg production and egg development were examined to develop a better understanding of the relationship bet...
متن کاملEvolution of Wolbachia cytoplasmic incompatibility types.
The success of obligate endosymbiotic Wolbachia infections in insects is due in part to cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), whereby Wolbachia bacteria manipulate host reproduction to promote their invasion and persistence within insect populations. The observed diversity of CI types raises the question of what the evolutionary pathways are by which a new CI type can evolve from an ancestral type....
متن کاملARTHROPOD BIOLOGY Influence of Male Age and Diet on Reproductive Potential of Orius laevigatus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)
When assessing the reproductive potential of laboratory-reared predatory insects, the role of males is often neglected, although they may have a signiÞcant impact on the reproductive output of their female mates. The current study investigated the effect of age and diet of males on the reproductive capacity of the anthocorid predator Orius laevigatus (Fieber) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). The test...
متن کاملEstablishment of the cytoplasmic incompatibility-inducing Wolbachia strain wMel in an important agricultural pest insect
The wMel Wolbachia strain was known for cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI)-induction and blocking the transmission of dengue. However, it is unknown whether it can establish and induce CI in a non-dipteran host insect. Here we artificially transferred wMel from Drosophila melanogaster into the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation demonstrated that wMel had successfully tran...
