Abstract Detection of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), relies heavily on traps baited with trimedlure, a male-specific attractant. Originally used as a liquid, trimedlure is now dispensed from solid polymeric plugs (2 g active ingredient) that reduce volatilization and increase the effective longevity of the lure. Even so, plugs are attractive over a relatively short interval, and guidelines suggest that trimedlure plugs be replaced every 6 wk. The present study had 2 goals. First, at periodic intervals up to 10 or 12 wk, we evaluated the performance of plugs containing 4 g of trimedlure (i.e., twice the standard amount) to determine whether the increased loading resulted in an increased period of effective attractiveness. Second, we examined the relationship between trap captures and temporal changes in the residual amount and release rate of trimedlure. In 2 of the 3 field trials conducted in Hawaii and Florida, 4 g plugs weathered for as long as 8 wk, but not for 10 or 12 wk, performed as well as fresh liquid trimedlure applied to cotton wicks. In the other trial, plugs weathered for as long as 12 wk were as effective as fresh liquid. Chemical analyses revealed that the plugs were effective until the residual amount of trimedlure decreased below approximately 1.4 g and the release rate dropped below approximately 2.0 mg per h. The potential usefulness of 4 g trimedlure plugs in large-scale detection programs is discussed considering these findings.

摘要地中海果蝇(medfly)， ceritis capitata (Wiedemann)(双翅目:绢蝇科)的检测严重依赖于诱捕器，诱捕器是一种雄性特异性引诱剂。trimedlure最初作为液体使用，现在由固体聚合物塞(2g活性成分)分配，减少挥发，增加诱饵的有效寿命。即便如此，桥塞在相对较短的时间内仍具有吸引力，指南建议每6周更换一次三边桥塞。目前的研究有两个目标。首先，每隔10周或12周，我们评估含有4克三叶诱导剂(即标准量的两倍)的塞的性能，以确定增加的载荷是否会增加有效吸引力的时间。其次，我们研究了诱捕器捕获量与诱捕器残留量和释放率的时间变化之间的关系。在夏威夷和佛罗里达进行的3次田间试验中，有2次试验表明，4克塞的风化时间长达8周，而不是10周或12周，其效果与新鲜液体诱导剂施用于棉花芯的效果相同。在另一项试验中，经过12周风化的塞与新鲜液体一样有效。化学分析表明，在三叶虫残留量降至约1.4 g以下，释放率降至约2.0 mg / h以下之前，这些堵头是有效的。考虑到这些发现，我们讨论了4 g三叶虫堵头在大规模检测计划中的潜在用途。resume La detección de La mosca mediterránea de La fruta(蚊子)，capitatitis (Wiedemann)(双翅目:绦虫科)，dependente en gran medida de trampas cebadas contrimedlure, unatrayente específico para machos。利用原来的como líquido, el trimedlure a dispensa a partipartide tapones polimacrios sólidos (2 g de ingredient activo)可以减少la volatilización，并长期有效地减少la señuelo。在así中，当一个人的注意力被吸引时，他的注意力就会被吸引，他的注意力就会被吸引。我展示了工作室的两个目标。Primero, a intervalos periódicos de hasta 10至12个semanas, evaluamos el desempeño de los tapones que contenían 4 g de trimedlure (es decir, el double de la cantidad estándar) para determinar si el aumento de la carga resultó en un mayor período de attro effectivo。En segundo lugar, examinamos la relación entre las capturas de trampas by los cambios temporales En la cantidad residual by la tasa de liberación de trimedlure。En 2 de los 3 enesayos de campo realizados En Hawái y Florida, los tapones de 4 g resistidos durante 8个信号，pero no durante 10到12个信号，功能分析和como trimedlure líquido fresco applications和mechas de algodón。在el otro ensayo中，在12个月的时间里，在一个有效的时间里，在一个有效的时间里，在一个有效的时间里，在líquidos壁画。Los análisis químicos revelaron que Los tapones fueron effective hasta que que la cantida residual de trimedlure disminuyó por debajo de proximamente 1,4 g / por debajo de proximamente liberación por debajo de proximamente 2 0 mg phora。建筑的潜在效用，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力，建筑的潜力。

Abstract Spathius galinae Belokobylskij (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is among several parasitoids introduced as classical biocontrol agents for control of the invasive emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), in the US. However, the successful establishment of this parasitoid and its efficacy in suppressing emerald ash borer vary among the release sites and regions. We hypothesize that forest microhabitats and parasitoid overwintering life stages affect parasitoid overwintering survival, development, and emergence phenology of adults in the spring. To test this, we placed logs containing 3 different larval stages of S. galinae (early instar larva, late instar larva, and cocoon) in ventilated jars in 2 distinct microhabitat sites, i.e., urban forest and mature natural forest. These were deployed in late fall of 2020 and remained in the field through winter. The emergence of adult parasitoids was recorded in spring through summer of 2021. Parasitoids in the warmer urban site emerged more quickly, emerging 12 d earlier than parasitoids in the cooler mature forest site. None of the S. galinae deployed as early instar larvae diapaused in either urban or forest sites. In both habitats, 27.1 to 32.1% of late instar larvae diapaused. Across overwintering larval stages, the median time of S. galinae emergence was about 24 d in the urban microhabitat, significantly shorter than that (36 d) observed in the mature forest microhabitat. Our findings suggest that environmental factors profoundly affect S. galinae phenology, and consequently emerald ash borer biological control.

Abstract The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White) (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), is an invasive, polyphagous herbivore native to China which was first detected in Pennsylvania, USA, in 2014. As of spring 2022, L. delicatula has spread to 14 states in its introduced range in the eastern US, prompting quarantines, increased surveillance, and new research. Despite known preferences for tree of heaven, Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (Simaroubaceae), L. delicatula has been reported from over 100 plants for feeding and oviposition. As L. delicatula continues to spread, individuals have the potential to encounter new host plants for feeding and new substrates for oviposition. In this study, we investigated oviposition and host plant use by nymphs among common trees, shrubs, and vines at 3 field sites in eastern Pennsylvania to determine whether use of plants differs among plant species and with plant size. We then used our field data and information from the literature to assess the risks to 2 nearby, uninvaded habitats in central Maryland. In repeated visual surveys in Pennsylvania, we found L. delicatula egg masses on 10 of 15 plant species, including new observations on Cercis canadensis L. (Fabaceae), Crataegus viridis L. (Rosaceae), and Liquidambar styraciflua L. (Altingiaceae). Egg mass abundance increased strongly with tree size. We found nymphs on 12 plant species, including new observations on C. viridis, and nymphal abundance differed significantly among plant species. Applying results from our field surveys and from the literature to currently uninvaded sites, we found high levels of risk for trees in managed and semi-natural settings; the great majority of trees in these inventories are at risk for use by L. delicatula, though several plant species have yet to be evaluated for risk. Our work highlights the need for continued research into oviposition and feeding choices as well as the urgency for monitoring and preemptive management at sites near known L. delicatula infestations.

Summary Lycorma delicatula White (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), spotted lanternfly, is an invasive planthopper now present in over a dozen states in the eastern US. Developing protocols to rear L. delicatula has been a high priority for potential classical biological control programs and controlled experiments. Here, we evaluated 9 different materials to serve as potential removable oviposition substrates to enable large numbers of egg masses to be collected in the field. We found that roofing shingles, roof caps, and ash bark were all acceptable substrates for L. delicatula, but that care must be taken in handling to ensure egg masses are not damaged or dislodged.

Abstract Pollinators for the fiber crop cotton are underused despite evidence that cross-pollination can increase yields. In addition, existing research largely ignores the potential of insects other than bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophilia) to provide pollination services for cotton. We observed plant bugs, cotton fleahoppers, Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae), visiting flowers of upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. (Malvaceae) and carrying cotton pollen grains on their bodies. We hypothesized that fleahoppers might contribute to cross-pollination of cotton as they forage among flowers. To test this hypothesis, we examined P. seriatus flower visitation frequency, cotton pollen load, pollen analog dispersal, and cross-pollination capacity. We found that cotton fleahoppers visited 21% of flowers observed in our field site and that they deposited a pollen analog on 12.5% of the flowers accessible in a field cage.

Abstract Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a highly mobile and polyphagous pest known to feed on over 300 cultivated and wild host plant species. Larvae cause significant economic damage to several commercial row crops over multiple generations each growing season. The objective of this study was to compare biological fitness of H. zea on 5 weedy host plants commonly found across the mid-south US. Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), kudzu (Pueraria montana [Lour.] Merr. (all Fabaceae), and honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica Thunb.; Caprifoliaceae) were evaluated as primary food sources for H. zea under laboratory conditions at 27 ± 0.5 °C, a relative humidity of 60 ± 5%, and a 14:10 h (L:D) photoperiod. This study measures the development, biomass, survival, and fecundity of H. zea when reared on the reproductive tissues of 5 common weeds. Larvae of H. zea successfully developed on all 5 weeds to adulthood, but significant mortality (> 50%) was observed for larvae reared on hairy vetch, honeysuckle, and kudzu. Larval developmental periods ranged from 30 d to 39 d for H. zea reared on honeysuckle and white clover, respectively. Pupal biomass ranged 158.1 mg to 161.2 mg for individuals reared on hairy vetch, followed by 196.2 mg to 202.8 mg on crimson clover, and 204.6 to 217.4 mg for individuals on white clover, honeysuckle, and kudzu collectively. Pupal emergence varied from 92.1% to 61.8% for crimson clover and hairy vetch, respectively. Larval mortality varied from 25.3% on crimson clover to 68.9% for hairy vetch. Average adult longevity ranged from 10 d to 11 d for females and males reared on crimson clover to 4 d on kudzu and 4 d on white clover for female and male, respectively. The average number of eggs laid by females reared on crimson clover, white clover, hairy vetch, honeysuckle, and kudzu were 553.5, 512.3, 288.2, 194.7, and 142.2, respectively. Our findings indicate crimson and white clover were among the most suitable hosts, and kudzu the most unsuitable based on larval mortality and reproductive capability.

Abstract The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a polyphagous pest that disperses from non-crop host plants into crops in search of food. Sassafras trees (Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees; Lauraceae) are found commonly in woodland habitats in the southeastern US and may therefore be a potential host. The main objective of this 2-yr study was to determine if sassafras serves as a host plant for this pest in woodland habitats adjacent to crops in Prattville, Alabama, and Byron, Georgia, USA. Each yr pheromone-baited traps were deployed in the canopy of sassafras trees to capture H. halys. We also evaluated parasitism and predation of H. halys sentinel egg masses by native parasitoids and predators in sassafras. Halyomorpha halys adult males and females as well as second through fifth instars were captured in traps and observed in sassafras trees over the season at both locations each yr of the study. Trissolcus euschisti Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) (67.7%) and Anastatus reduvii (Howard) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) (18.3%) were the primary parasitoid species that emerged from H. halys sentinel egg masses. Stylet sucking (62.3%) and chewing (32.0%) were the primary types of predation on H. halys eggs. We conclude that sassafras is a reproductive host plant for H. halys, and native natural enemies prey on and parasitize H. halys egg masses in this host plant. Resumen La chinche hedionda invasora marrón marmolada, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), es una plaga polífaga que se dispersa de plantas hospedantes no cultivadas a los cultivos en busca de alimento.

El objetivo principal de este estudio de 2 años fue determinar si el sasafrás sirve como planta hospedera para esta plaga en hábitats boscosos adyacentes a cultivos en Prattville, Alabama, y Byron, Georgia, EE.

Abstract The influential role of fire in shaping Florida scrub vegetation is well documented; however, relatively less is known about the role of fire on trophic interactions such as those between plants and herbivores. Here we examined the response of insect herbivory to time-since-fire and succession on Lyonia fruticosa (Michx.) G.S. Torr. (Ericaceae), a shrub found in scrub of south-central Florida. We measured herbivory on > 200 plants across a time-since-fire gradient of 7 sites (ranging from 0.6–8.7 yr) by (1) surveying recently flushed leaves for 3 mo to control for leaf age, and (2) surveying herbivory across whole plants irrespective of leaf age. We also recorded damage types (chewing, scraping, and mining) to determine how herbivore guilds were affected by time-since-fire. Using generalized additive models, we found herbivory increased for 5 to 6 yr post-fire with 59.8% of the deviance explained by time-since-fire in flushed leaf surveys and 76.6% in whole plant surveys. Chewing was the dominant damage type and increased for 5 yr post-fire. Scraping and mining damage were less frequent and unaffected by time-since-fire within the range studied. Additionally, we modeled the post-fire responses of L. fruticosa traits (height, stems, flowering, and leaf area), and found that most changes in growth and reproduction occurred within the first 4 to 6 yr post-fire. Herbivory levels increased as plants recovered and peaked in yr 5 and 6 post-fire indicating insect herbivores, like the plants, are well adapted to the dynamic, pyrogenic landscape.

Abstract Sipha maydis (Passerini) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a pest of cultivated cereals and wild grasses introduced into America and first reported in South America at Argentina in 2002. In Brazil, this aphid was detected first in wheat in Oct 2006 at Rio Grande do Sul State. Between 2007 and 2013 the aphid was reported in several localities in the humid subtropical region of Brazil (southern states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Paraná) on different plant species including Triticum aestivum L., Avena strigosa Schreb., Lolium multiflorum Lam., Hordeum vulgare L., Zea mays L. (all Poaceae) and uncultivated grasses. Sipha maydis also has been captured in yellow tray traps. Peak flight activity for S. maydis occurred in the spring-summer transition and was apparently correlated with average air temperature. Sipha maydis was able to complete its life cycle on A. strigosa, L. multiflorum, H. vulgare, Z. mays, and T. aestivum. During the nymphal phase the best hosts were A. strigosa, L. multiflorum, H. vulgare, and T. aestivum. Hordeum vulgare and T. aestivum were the best for the reproductive period and longevity. The intrinsic rate of increase was greatest on A. strigosa, L. multiflorum, and T. aestivum. Generation time was longer on H. vulgare, Z. mays, and T. aestivum. Net rate reproduction was greater in H. vulgare and T. aestivum, and the finite rate of increase was greatest on A. strigosa, L. multiflorum, H. vulgare, and T. aestivum. Although the distribution of S. maydis is expanding and covering the main wheat-growing region of Brazil, and despite the wide range of hosts and the direct damage it causes to local foraging sites, aphid populations are low and their economic importance is limited. However, it reveals that S. maydis has the potential to colonize subtropical regions.
