West Indian animal distributions are shaped by overwater dispersal in the current, Cenozoic Era as well as other dispersion methods dating back many more years (Hedges 2001). Termites, specifically, have distributions in the Caribbean shaped by a combination of dry land connections in the late Pleistocene, floating wood debris, and human commerce patterns (Scheffrahn et al. 2006, Evans et al. 2013). Floating wood pieces, termed flotsam, are required for termite dispersal across bodies of water because of their poor long-distance flying ability (Scheffrahn et al. 2006). Additionally, since termites mate after locating a resource following their flight, two individuals must each fly the long distances required and then locate each other, a feat unlikely to occur (Scheffrahn et al. 2009). This onerous task is lessened in species capable of parthenogenesis, a trait currently known in only 14 termite species (Matsuura 2010, Fougeyrollas et al. 2015, 2017, Fournier et al. 2016, Yashiro et al. 2018, Hellemans et al. 2019). However, recent studies have found parthenogenesis across various lineages (Yashiro et al. 2018, Hellemans et al. 2019), suggesting that this trait may be widespread in termites. Termites are easily transported by human commerce because they cryptically forage in wood, a commodity that is globally traded and transported (Evans et al. 2013). Marine vessels have ferried termites across great distances for the past 500 years (Hochmair & Scheffrahn 2010). In Florida, the distributions of invasive Coptotermes spp. are significantly aggregated around marine docks (Hochmair & Scheffrahn 2010). Termite alates from mature colonies established on boats have been reported in harbors (Scheffrahn&Crowe 2011), helping to explain how easily termite species have been spread around the globe. Drywood termites (Kalotermitidae) make up nearly a third of known invasive species of termites (nine out of 28; Evans et al. 2013) and are easily transported

ABSTRACT The khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae), is an important pest of stored wheat worldwide. Nanoparticles have become one of the most promising new tools for insect pest management in recent years. This laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the insecticidal efficacy of three commercially available nanoparticles [silicon oxide (SNPs), aluminium oxide (ANPs) and zinc oxide (ZNPs)] against T. granarium at 50, 100 and 200 mg kg–1. The efficacy of SNPs, ANPs and ZNPs on wheat, barley, rice, white maize and yellow maize was assessed after 1, 3, 5 and 7 d of exposure. Corrected mortality of T. granarium was significantly affected by nanoparticle types, application rates, grain types, and the insect developmental stages. SNPs and ANPs were more effective than ZNPs, where 100% mortality of second instars was obtained at the highest concentration. Mortality of second instars on wheat treated with SNPs, ANPs or ZNPs at the rate of 200 mg kg–1 was significantly higher than other concentrations. Insecticidal efficacy of all nanoparticles at the rate of 200 mg kg–1 against second instars was significantly higher on barley and wheat than those on rice and maize. First, second and third instars exposed to all nanoparticle types at the rate of 200 mg kg–1 were more susceptible than fourth and fifth instars and adults. Female adults exposed to wheat treated with all nanoparticles at the rate of 200 mg kg–1 stopped reproduction completely. The results demonstrate that commercially available SNPs and ANPs can be used as eco-friendly management strategy of T. granarium; however, further studies under commercial storage conditions are required.

Clearwing moths (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) are day-flying hornet and wasp mimics that can be found visiting flowers for nectar. Larvae bore in the roots, branches and trunks of woody and some herbaceous plants. Some of these larvae are pests in orchards, nurseries and commercial forestry operations. For example, Synanthedon exitiosa (Say) and Synanthedon pictipes (Grote & Robinson) are major pests of peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch; Rosaceae] (Johnson et al. 2005), and Synanthedon scitula (Harris) is a major pest of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.; Rosaceae) (Bergh & Leskey 2003). These species, and Podosesia syringae (Harris), Podosesia aureocincta Purrington & Nielsen and Paranthrene simulans (Grote) are pests of ornamental trees (Brown and Mizell 1993, Braxton & Raupp 1995, Held 2019). About 135 sesiid species in 20 genera occur in North America (Pühringer & Kallies 2004, Pohl et al. 2016). Forty-four species are likely to occur in South Carolina based on collection records from South Carolina and neighboring states documented in Eichlin & Duckworth (1988). This species richness has not been validated with a comprehensive survey of sesiid diversity in the state. As a first step to better understand sesiid species diversity in South Carolina, a survey was conducted in three counties (Darlington, Georgetown and Pickens) from March 2011 to December 2013. A mixed pine-hardwood forest, an ornamental plant nursery and a botanical garden were surveyed in each of Darlington and Georgetown Counties to diversify the habitats and outcome of this exploratory survey. In Pickens County, a single ornamental plant nursery was surveyed. Surveyed locations in Georgetown County lay within the Sea Island and Coastal Marsh Ecoregion, those in Darlington County within the Atlantic Southern Loam Plain Ecoregion, and that in Pickens County within the Southern Outer Piedmont Ecoregion (Griffith et al. 2002). Locations within a county were separated by at least 20 km.

Although many different insects can be found in rice (Oryza sativa L.) fields in Florida, Oebalus stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are currently considered the most important pest (Cherry et al. 2018). Green et al. (1954) reported finding four species of stink bugs in rice fields in Florida but gave no information on their relative abundance. Genung et al. (1979) reported that five species of stink bugs could be found in rice in Florida, but no information was given on their relative abundance or seasonal occurrence. Jones & Cherry (1986) conducted the first extensive surveys in Florida rice fields and reported that four species were found, with the rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.), comprising >95% of the total stink bug population. Oebalus ypsilongriseus (DeGeer) was first observed in Florida rice fields in 1994 (Cherry et al. 1998). An extensive survey in 1995 and 1996 documented the occurrence of O. ypsilongriseus in all sampled rice fields in Florida, where it constituted 10.4% of all stink bugs collected (Cherry et al. 1998). Another species, Oebalus insularis (Stal), was first observed in rice fields in Florida in 2007 (Cherry & Nuessly 2010). An extensive survey in 2008 and 2009 reported that it occurred in all rice fields sampled in Florida and constituted 20% of all stink bugs collected (Cherry & Nuessly 2010). Data from these studies show that O. ypsilongriseus (a well-known pest of rice in South America) and O. insularis (a well-known pest of rice in the Caribbean islands, Central America, and South America) are now widespread in rice fields in Florida. The studies were also the first reports of the two species being found in commercial rice fields in the United States. Currently, the stink bug complex infesting rice in Florida is the most diversified and unique in the United States. Cherry et al. (2018) determined the efficacy of five insecticides in controlling these three Oebalus species. These insecticides were applied at the maximum allowed a.i. (active ingredient) field rate in high volume (10 gal/A or 93.54 L/ha) to keep these two factors constant across the five insecticides. However, Florida rice growers question if a lower spray volume they typically employed affects

Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) is a forest crop native to Asia-Oceania and widely distributed in the tropical regions of the world. Several Eucalyptus species are cultivated and harvested to provide pulp, wood and charcoal (Turnbull 2000). In Mexico, eucalypts were introduced as ornamental trees in urban areas (Vega & Baez 2016), but were later used in reforestation programs in the 1950s (Cervantes et al. 2008). Today, eucalypts represent 20% of the timber species in Mexico, with most production occurring in southeastern Mexico (Fierros 2012). Leptocybe invasa Fischer & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and Thaumastocoris peregrinusCarpintero &Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) were recently detected in Mexico City (Vanegas-Rico et al. 2015, Jiménez-Quiroz et al. 2016). Both species are pests of eucalypts in several countries (Nyeko et al. 2009, Benítez et al. 2013, Petro et al. 2014). The spread of these invasive pest species to eucalypt plantations in Mexico could result in severe economic and ecological damage. Detection of L. invasa and T. peregrinus in Mexico prompted national surveys of eucalypt plantations and forests, as well as examination of museum collections. To date, neither species has been reported in forest plantations of Mexico. Nonetheless, extensive surveys of eucalypt pests have resulted in the detection of new invasive species and the development of appropriate management strategies. A major focus of the surveys is eriophyid mites, which is an important but poorly known group of forest pests (Acuña-Soto et al. 2017).
桉树(桃科)是一种原产于亚洲-大洋洲的森林作物，广泛分布于世界热带地区。一些桉树品种被种植和收获，以提供纸浆、木材和木炭(Turnbull 2000)。在墨西哥，桉树被作为观赏树木引入城市地区(Vega & Baez 2016)，但后来在20世纪50年代被用于重新造林计划(塞万提斯等人，2008)。今天，桉树占墨西哥木材种类的20%，大部分生产发生在墨西哥东南部(Fierros 2012)。最近在墨西哥城发现了入侵小蜂(Leptocybe invasa Fischer & La Salle)(膜翅目:小蜂科)和小蜂(Thaumastocoris peregrinusCarpintero & dellapael)(半翅目:小蜂科)(Vanegas-Rico et al. 2015, jim nez- quiroz et al. 2016)。这两个物种在一些国家都是桉树的害虫(Nyeko等人，2009年，Benítez等人，2013年，Petro等人，2014年)。这些入侵害虫在墨西哥桉树种植园的蔓延可能造成严重的经济和生态破坏。在墨西哥发现入侵桉树和长尾桉树促使了对桉树种植园和森林的全国调查，以及对博物馆藏品的检查。迄今为止，在墨西哥的森林种植园中还没有这两种植物的报道。尽管如此，对桉树害虫的广泛调查已经发现了新的入侵物种，并制定了适当的管理策略。调查的一个主要焦点是叶面螨，这是一种重要但鲜为人知的森林害虫(Acuña-Soto et al. 2017)。

Both species are pests of eucalypts in several countries (Nyeko et al. 2009, Benítez et al. 2013, Petro et al. 2014). The spread of these invasive pest species to eucalypt plantations in Mexico could result in severe economic and ecological damage. Detection of L. invasa and T. peregrinus in Mexico prompted national surveys of eucalypt plantations and forests, as well as examination of museum collections. To date, neither species has been reported in forest plantations of Mexico. Nonetheless, extensive surveys of eucalypt pests have resulted in the detection of new invasive species and the development of appropriate management strategies. A major focus of the surveys is eriophyid mites, which is an important but poorly known group of forest pests (Acuña-Soto et al. 2017).","PeriodicalId":50257,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Agricultural and Urban Entomology","volume":"36 1","pages":"70 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43822508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
