The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), an invasive planthopper discovered in Pennsylvania, U.S. 2014, has spread to many surrounding states despite quarantines and control efforts, further is anticipated. A classical (importation) biological program would contribute the long-term management of L. eastern In its native range China, Anastatus orientalis (Hymenoptera: ...

Abstract Comparisons were made of the effects temperature and duration low on hatch newly laid egg masses invasive spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White). Egg collected in mid-October 2019 estimated to be less than 14 d old. There was a significant positive nonlinear relationship between developmental rate (1/d) for eggs held at constant temperatures. The lower threshold development as ...

Anastatus orientalis , native to northern China, is an egg parasitoid wasp of the spotted lanternfly ( Lycorma delicatula ) and being tested as a potential biological control agent for invasive L. in United States. As component these evaluations, live A. collected from Beijing Yantai China were reared containment U.S. These specimens showed different responses diapause behaviors rearing conditi...

Common kilka Clupeonella cultriventris (Nordmann, 1840) is a brackish water and small pelagic fish species and is one of the most abundant fishes that live gregariously in the Caspian Sea. A total of 60 specimens of adult common kilka were sampled from two seasons. Fifteen pairs of microsatellites previously developed for A.sapidissima, C. pallasi, C.harengus, and S. pilchardus were tested for ...
