Abstract:
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is an entomophilous plant which is need insects for pollination. Pollinator insects increase cocoa’s fruit set. The aim of this research were to study diversity of pollinator insects, visiting activity of fly, Forcipomyia (Diptera), and fruit set of cocoa. Observation of pollinator insects was conducted by scan sampling method. Visiting activity of Forcipomyia were observed based on duration visit per flower, number of flowers visited per minute, and duration of activity on flowers. Pollen load on body of Forcipomyia were measured. Pollination effectiveness of insect were measured from the number and size of the cocoa fruit. Result showed that 19 species of insects visitors on cocoa flowers were observed. Nine species are pollinator of cocoa’s plants i.e. Forcipomyia, Cecidomyia, Stilobezzia, Drosophila, Orimarga, Dolichoderus, Pheidole, Megachile, and Nomia. Cocoa pollination by insects produced 3% fruit higher than flowers without insect pollination. Pollination by insects produced size and weight of fruit, and number of seed per fruit were higher than pollination without insects.

Abstract:
La cecidomyie du riz, orseolia oryzivora est un important ravageur au burkina faso. Deux hymenopteres parasitoides sont associes au diptere. Apres avoir etudie la biologie de la reproduction des trois especes d'insectes, nous avons analyse le fonctionnement sur le terrain du systeme tritrophique, plante (oriza sativa)/phytophage (orseolia oryzivora/parasitoides, platygaster diplosisae et tetrastichus pachydiplosisae. L'appareil reproducteur femelle de o. Oryzivora est caracterise par 2 volumineux ovaires et deux importantes glandes annexes qui secretent un abondant mucus recouvrant les ufs au moment de la ponte. P. Diplosisae est un endoparasitoide gregaire de la larve du diptere, et possede une fecondite tres elevee. T. Pachydiplosisae est un ectoparasitoide solitaire de la pupe du nematocere, avec une faible fecondite. Les deux especes parasitoides se partagent la meme ressource hote, grace a des adaptations eco-biologiques developpees par chacune d'elles. Ces adaptations portent sur la morphologie, la longueur de l'ovipositeur et, la nature et la repartition des organes sensoriels sur celui-ci. Les etudes sur le terrain montrent que la dynamique des populations de o. Oryzivora est caracterisee par une importante gradation des populations en saison humide de culture. Les semis realises en debut de saison sont moins infestes que les semis tardifs. Le parasitisme exerce sur o. Oryzivora est de type densite dependance. Il est tres important en fin de cycle de la culture et il est essentiellement du a p. Diplosisae. La distribution spatiale des populations pre-imaginales du ravageur ainsi que celle des degats qu'il occasionne sont faiblement agregatives. L'estimation des pertes dues a o. Oryzivora montre qu'une relation de type lineaire lie la perte au degat, et les talles supplementaires produites par la plante en reaction a l'infestation de l'insecte ne permettent pas de compenser les dommages subis. Enfin, l'etude portant sur 2 methodes culturales montre que la fumure azotee favorise le developpement de l'hote et de ses parasitoides, mais l'age des plantes au repiquage n'influe pas directement sur la dynamique des populations

Abstract:
Les relations complexes qui unissent les insectes phytophages et les plantes peuvent être étudiées par des approches interdisciplinaires à diverses échelles. Ces études peuvent avoir un intérêt appliqué, dans l'agriculture notamment. Au cours de cette thèse, nous avons mené une étude interdisciplinaire sur la biologie de la cécidomyie des fleurs du manguier, Procontarinia mangiferae (Felt) (Diptera : Cecidomyiidae), un bio-agresseur monophage et invasif responsable de dégâts économiques majeurs dans plusieurs zones de production du monde. L'objectif était d'améliorer les connaissances sur la biologie de cette espèce à l'île de la Réunion : (1) en évaluant sa diversité génétique et les facteurs écologiques et biologiques qui peuvent expliquer la structuration génétique de ses populations ; (2) en étudiant en milieu naturel ou contrôlé les caractéristiques de sa diapause, qui lui permettent de maintenir des populations d'une saison de floraison à la suivante ; (3) en étudiant par modélisation la dispersion des femelles dans un verger lors de sa colonisation, en prenant en compte les capacités de vol et la distribution spatiale et temporelle des stades sensibles du manguier au sein du verger. Les résultats ont montré que l'espèce P. mangiferae se reproduisait à la fois sur les inflorescences et sur les jeunes feuilles, qu'elle était présente toute l'année et sur tous les sites échantillonnés sur l'île, quelles que soient les conditions culturales ou climatiques. Ses populations sont apparues structurées en deux clusters sympatriques, dont un était plus fréquent dans la zone de culture du manguier. Ensuite, nous avons prouvé l'existence d'une diapause facultative induite toute l’année, avec cependant un taux d'induction de diapause supérieur en été. Cette diapause du troisième stade larvaire se déroule dans le sol et dure entre six semaines et plus d'un an. Les températures fraiches déclenchent les émergences des individus en diapause et permettent de synchroniser l'émergence des adultes avec la période de floraison du manguier. Enfin, nous avons montré que des femelles immigrantes étaient capables de coloniser l'ensemble des arbres d'un verger. Le vol d'arrivée des femelles dans le verger et le vol actif au sein du verger se sont avérés influencés respectivement par l'abondance et par l'attractivité de la ressource. Les connaissances obtenues sur la biologie de P. mangiferae et sur ses relations avec le manguier ouvrent des pistes pour le développement de stratégies de gestion agroécologique de ce bio-agresseur
Phytophagous insects and plants are linked by complex relationships. Insect-plant interaction researches involve several biological disciplines at different levels of analysis. These insect–plant relationships are of crucial importance from an applied point of view, notably for agriculture. In this work, an interdisciplinary approach has been used to study on the mango blossom gall midge, Procontarinia mangiferae (Felt) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), an invasive insect pest specific to mango causing major economic damages worldwide. The objective was to improve our knowledge of the biology of this species in the subtropical Reunion Island (i) by describing its genetic diversity and investigate the ecological and biological determinants of the genetic structure of its populations, (ii) by carrying out field and controlled experiments to understand the diapause strategies involved in maintaining populations from one flowering season to the next one, (iii) by modeling the arrival and dispersion of females within an orchard in relation with their flight capacity and with the spatial and temporal distribution of the mango susceptible resources. The results showed that the single species P. mangiferae, feeding on both inflorescences and young leaves, was present all year round and in all the sampled sites on the island, regardless of the climatic and cultural conditions. Populations in Reunion Island appeared structured into two clusters in sympatry, one cluster being more frequent in the cultivated mango area. Secondly, we demonstrated the occurrence of facultative diapause all year round, with the highest rate of diapause observed in summer. The diapause allowed a developmental arrest at the 3rd larval instar in the soil, lasting between six weeks to more than one year. The decrease of temperature at the beginning of winter triggered off the emergence of diapausing individuals and synchronized adult emergence with the mango flowering period. Thirdly, non-native female gall midges were able to colonize all the trees of an orchard. Their arrival flight and trivial flight were oriented by the abundance and by the attractiveness of the mango resources, respectively. The knowledge obtained on the biological cycle of P. mangiferae and on its relationships with the mango tree should be useful to develop new agroecological pest management strategies

Five types of cecidomyiid galls are commonly found on Machilus (Lauraceae) in central Taiwan. They are the urn-shaped gall and mouse-like gall on M. zuihoensis Hayata, urn-shaped gall and mouse-like gall on M. mushaensis Lu , and mouse-like gall on M. japonian. The gall formers are the midge species of genus Daphnephila. It takes a year for the gall midge to complete its life cycle. From egg stage to imago, it must go through three instars of larva and pupa. The time of oviposition is influenced by the host phenology, that is, the time of leaf blade unfolding period around March to April. After hatching, the first instar larva may mine into the plant tissue below egg shell. Then, retardation occurs and both the larva and gall remains undeveloped until October or November. The development continues through the winter to the following spring and the mature larvae pupate in the gall. Adults emerge from the gall later in the spring. The size of galls varies within species of the five galls. The analysis shows that there is no correlation between the gall size and the leaf blade size. However, the gall size is influenced by the factors such as galling position, density of galls per leaf, and parasitism. Morphological comparisons among midges from the five types of galls show that the sternal spatula, or breastbone, of the third instar larva and the scleritized structure of pupal head are reliable characters to identify the species of Daphnephila. The consistency of the gall morphology, which is similar within each host species and different among various hosts, suggests that it could provide a useful information for resolving the difficulty in identifying Machilus species. All the five types of cecidomyiid galls belong to the monolocular covering gall and the highly differentiated prosoplasmatic gall according to the histological study using paraffin sectioning. The process of tissue differentiation shows a similar pattern through all four stages of gall development, i.e. initiation phase, growth and differentiation phase, maturation phase, and dehiscence or opening phase. It starts with hyperplasia and stasis of parenchyma, through the differentiation of epidermis, cortex and vasicular bundle, and finally reaches the development of sclerenchyma. The inner layer of the gall, the nutritive tissue, is the nutrient source and is important for the galler’s development. Fungal mycelia are found on the inner gall surface and the intercellular space of parenchyma according to the tissue sectioning. A further examination by staining with Chlorazol Black E (CBE) and by scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirms the existence of fungi on the inner surface of the gall chamber. It demonstrates that all these five types of galls belong to the primitive ambrosia galls as opposed to other galls formed by herbivorous gall midges.

Knowledge of systematics of the genus Machilus (Lauraceae) in Taiwan is limited because the morphological characteristics are often confused. Plant taxonomists differ in their systematic treatment of the Machilus taxa in Taiwan. The species of the genus Machilus in Taiwan sustain 46 types of insect galls induced by the genus Daphnephila (Cecidomyiidae). The feasibility of applying cecidomyiid galls to the systematics of the genus Machilus was examined. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to analyze the 100 gall-bearing trees of six Machilus taxa including Machilus kusanoi, M. obovatifolia, M. zuihoensis var. zuihoensis, M. zuihoensis var. mushaensis, M. thunbergii, M. japonica and Cinnamomum philippinense discussed together. The UPGMA cluster analysis of the RAPD data revealed five distinct clusters including M. kusanoi, M. japonica and M. thunbergii complex group, C. philippinense group, M. obovatifolia group, M. zuihoensis variety complex group and the outgroup Litsea acuminata. The results of RAPD show that M. kusanoi and M. japonica should be considered as two distinct species, M. zuihoensis var. zuihoensis and M. zuihoensis var. mushaensis should be considered as two varieties of the same species, and Cinnamomum philippinense should be incorporated into the genus Machilus. PCR and DNA sequencing methods were used to analyze the nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial 16S rDNA gene of the sixty-nine gall midges from twenty-eight gall types of seven host plant taxa. The phylogenetic tree from the partial 16S rDNA sequence by Neighbor-Joining method of Jukes-Cantor distance revealed that the gall midges could be divided into five groups according to gall types. The coniform and needle-shaped galls of stems were grouped as a cluster; the urn-shaped, small urn-shaped, club-shaped and swan-shaped galls found on the leaves grouped another; the mouse-like and disk-shaped galls of leaves and the peach-like gall on the bud were grouped individually. The phylogenetic tree revealed that the two varieties of M. zuihoensis in one cluster cannot be distinguished, and the other cluster includes Machilus kusanoi, M. obovatifolia, M. thunbergii, M. japonica and Cinnamomum philippinense. The systematic relationships among the Machilus taxa from the data of host plants are congruent with the data from the gall inducers. Results in this study imply that the gall inducers of genus Daphnephila provide information for resolving the plant systematic relationships, and coevolution exists between the host plants Machilus and the gall inducers Daphnephila.

The specific gall-inducers gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) have been found on Machilus zuihoensis Hayata (Lauraceae), the endemic plant in Taiwan. This study is aimed to compare the morphology of four types of covering galls on M. zuihoensis leaves, including urn-shaped gall, small urn-shaped gall, obovate gall and hairy oblong gall. The surface and inner structures of galls and leaves were examined under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light microscope (LM), respectively. The histochemical characteristics of the walls of four galls were compared under LM. Moreover, the ultrastructures of the nutritive cells and the fungal cells lined in gall chambers were distinguished by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that, 1) the epidermis structures of these four covering galls and abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces are significantly different in wax morphology, epidermal cell shape, and the existence of stomata and trichomes; 2) it is similar in the structure and histochemical traits found between urn-shaped gall and small urn-shaped gall, but can be distinguished by the size of epidermal cell and the existence of calcium oxalate in sclereid layer. Due to the range of sclereid layer and with a great amount of starch grains in cortex, the obovate-shaped gall can be distinguished from the others. Furthermore, the hairy oblong gall is the only one with trichomes; 3) nutritive cells generally have four traits: fragmented vacuole, abundant cytoplasmic organelles, dense cytoplasm, and hypertrophic nucleus and nucleolus. But we discovered only two former traits of nutritive cells of ambrosial gall in Taiwan that showed the differences between the typical one. The interactions among plant, gall midge and fungi in ambrosia galls should be clarified further. More investigations are needed to understand the relationships of this three-component system.

The specificity of the host species, plant organ, and morphology of gall inducing insect are the consequences of long term interactions between gall inducing insects and their host plant. Previous studies have suggested that gall morphology could be regarded as the extensions of phenotypes of galling species, and henthforth use as an indication for identifying gallers. The cup-shaped and umbrella-shaped galls on Litsea acminata in Taiwan have been recorded in previous studies. However, there are a series of intermediate forms exist besides cup-shaped and umbrella-shaped galls in our field research. Are these different types of galls induced by a single species? What kind of mechanisms could cause the variation of gall morphology? In this study, cup-shaped gall midge (CGM) and umbrella-shaped gall midge (UGM) were collected for the study of their taxonomy, comparative biology and gall morphology to test whether gall shape reveal the genetic bases of gall inducers and to understand its relationship with other biological and non-biological factors. In the taxonomic study, morphological traits showed that the larval sterna spatuala, pupal apical horn, and male genitalia of CGM and UGM were similar. Besides, the COI distance variation of CGM and UGM was less than 1.6%. It indicates that CGM and UGM are the same species. It is described as a new species here. In the biological studies, life history within and among populations of CGM and UGM varied which suggests that life history were not associate with gall polymorphism. The parasitism ratio of UGM (more than 40%) were higher than CGM (20~30%), even the parasitoid species number and abundance were affected by environmental factors at different sampling areas. In geographical distribution, CGM distributed all over Taiwan wheras UGM could be only found in central Taiwan. The gall developmental time of CGM (June) was earlier than UGM (August) and they both mainly grew on the lower surface of leaves (about 88%). Examination of galls developed on branches of different years showed that it didn’t relate to the gall types. The recording of temperature and humidity during the growth phase of galls, October and November, reveals that cup-shaped galls located at the place with lower average temperature (13.75℃and 14.74℃) and humidity (83.35% and 84.42%), while umbrella-shaped galls were located at the place where both average temperature (average 16.74℃and 17.58℃) and humidity (91.77% and 95.77%) were higher. In summarize, (1) The results of molecular analysis, parasitic rate, gall morphology, and geographical distribution, indicate that the gall midge diversifies among different populations of the same species, and the diversification reflects on the morphological variation of each gall type. Besides, the umbrella-shaped gall which distributed only in central Taiwan and with higher rate of parasitism might be the primitive type, and the cup-shaped gall which widely distributed in Taiwan and with lower rate of parasitism would be derived type. (2) The data of parasitism, gall developmental time, altitude, temperature and humidity were related to the gall polymorphism and further inference could be made that temperature, humidity, or hygrothermal effects are important factors affecting gall polymorphism. (3) the overall results suggest that gall morphology may provide a basis for determining species of gall inducers but it is important to understand the variation of gall morphology to avoid misidentification of galling species.

Several gall midge species (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) have been found on Machilus zuihoensis Hayata (Lauraceae). This study is aimed to compare the morphology and histogeny during development of five cecidomyiid leaf galls on M. zuihoensis, including urn-shaped gall, small urn-shaped gall, obovate gall, hairy oblong gall, and blister gall. Morphological development of galls was observed in the field, and divided into several development stages by morphological characteristics. Gall samples in each development stages was collected, and examined under light microscope to investigate histologic changes and tannin distribution dissimilarity between gall development stages, and differences among five gall types. The results show that urn-shaped gall, small urn-shaped gall and hairy oblong gall perform similar development time period, which initiate in February and March, and adult gall midge leave galls in the next year. Obovate gall initiates in February and March, and galls drop form leave to ground with larva after gall maturation in December and next January. Blister gall was found both in March to April, and June to September, and larva leaves galls after gall maturation. Urn-shaped gall is different with small urn-shaped gall manly in the distribution of vascular bundles, cell elongation at the outer top region of gall, and the thickness of gall cortex. Hair-like structure can only be found on hairy oblong gall, and it initiates before gall tissue break through leave surface. In addition, gall tissue of hairy oblong gall growth parallel with leave after break through leave surface, with secondary metabolites accumulate in cortex far from leave surface. Obovate gall accumulate abundant of starch grains in cortex during horizontal growth of gall. The gall midges inducing blister gall are considered as a more primitive species then others due to no significant tissue differentiation during all development stage of blister galls except for larger palisade tissue cells, and it’s the one which larva leaves gall and pupates outside. Tannin accumulation occurs in gall-attached region of leave and gall cortex, except for blister galls. Compare with the four development phase which has been published, the main anatomic differences between five types of leave gall during gall development occur in the growth and differentiation phase, in which form distinguish morphology of each gall types.

Abstract:
The spruce needleminer, Epinotia tedella (Cl.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a small and abundant moth associated with Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.). Larvae mine spruce needles, usually those more than 1 year old, and each requires about 35 needles to meet its food demands. In central Europe, the spruce needleminer is regarded as a temporary, serious pest when densities reach several thousand per square meter. However, it seldom causes significant damage in Scandinavian countries. An exception was the heavy infestation in southern Denmark in 1960-61. The spruce needleminer has one generation per year. Adults emerge in June and deposit eggs singly on spruce needles. Larvae mine the needles from July through October and then descend on silken threads in November to hibernate in the forest litter as prepupal larvae in cocoons. Pupation occurs in early May and lasts 3-4 weeks. Like many other forest defoliators, spruce needleminers are associated with a diverse fauna of parasitic Hymenoptera (parasitoids) (Münster-Swendsen 1979). Eggs are attacked by a minute wasp (Trichogramma sp.) that kills the embryo and emerges as an adult a few weeks later. Because spruce needleminer eggs have all hatched by this time, the parasitoids must oviposit in the eggs of other insect species. In other words, this parasitoid is not host-specific and therefore not expected to show a numerical response to spruce needleminer population changes. Newly hatched moth larvae immediately bore into needles and, because of this, are fairly well protected against weather and predators. However, specialized parasitic wasps (parasitoids) are able to deposit their eggs inside a larva by penetrating the needle with their ovipositor. Two species, Apanteles tedellae (Nix.) and Pimplopterus dubius (Hgn.), dominate the parasitoid guild and sometimes attack a large percentage of the larvae (Münster -Swendsen 1985). Parasitized larvae continue to feed and, in November, descend to the forest floor to overwinter with unparasitized individuals. In late April, however, the parasitoids take over and kill their hosts. Besides mortality from endoparasitoids, up to 2% of the larvae die within the mine due to an ectoparasitoid and a predatory cecidomyid larva.
