Journal articles on the topic 'Kermes (Insect)'

This article provides information about the findings of three more species new to the fauna of Belarus — Parthenolecanium rufulum (Cockerell, 1903), Kermes quercus (Linnaeus, 1758) and K. roboris (Fourcroy, 1785). Information on the distribution, biology, ecology and the degree of harmfulness of these species is given. The morphological description of the studied forms is given. As part of the implementation of forest protection measures, monitoring and recording of all cases of detection of these scale insects in our region will be important.

The importance of adult male morphology in elucidating the phylogeny of scale insects (Coccomorpha) was first suggested by Balachowsky and Ferris in the late 1930s. However, the first extensive comparisons of adult male morphology were made by Jancke (1955) and Theron (1958), both of whom looked at the morphology of various groups of Coccomorpha. Theron’s study, under the guidance of K.L. Boratyński, set a new standard for detail and accuracy (although he did not describe the setae). These studies were closely followed by Beardsley (1962), who described the adult males of 30 mealybug species from Hawaii, and then by three more of Boratyński’s students who produced highly significant monographs on particular families, namely Ghauri (1962) who described 26 species of Diaspididae, Giliomee (1967a) who described 22 species of Coccidae and Afifi (1968) who described 17 species of Pseudococcidae and 7 species of Eriococcidae. Since then, the adult males of more than 300 neococcoid species have been described in considerable detail (Appendix A). Adult males of a further 48 species are described or redescribed and illustrated in this monograph (Acanthococcus adenostomae (Ehrhorn), Eriochiton armatus Brittin; Apiomorpha munita tereticornuta Gullan; A. ovicola (Froggatt); A. pharetrata (Schrader); A. rosaeformis (Froggatt); A. spinifer Froggatt; Dactylopius coccus (Costa); Callococcus leptospermi (Maskell); Lachnodius ?eucalypti (Maskell); Tanyscelis verrucula (Froggatt); Beesonia dipterocarpi Green; Parastictococcus brachystegiae (Hall); P. hargreavesi (Vayssière); P. multispinosus (Newstead); Stictococcus intermedius Newstead; S. vayssierei Richard; Conchaspis angraeci Cockerell; C. capensis Linnaeus; C. socialis Green; C. vayssierei Mamet; Leucaspis gigas (Maskell); Labidaspis myersi (Green); Allokermes galliformis (Riley); Kermes shastensis Ehrhorn; Kermes sp.; Tachardina aurantiaca (Cockerell); Tachardiella sp.; Cerococcus artemisiae (Cockerell); Antecerococcus indicus (Maskell); A. ornatus (Green); Bambusaspis delicata (Green); B. longa (Green); Asterolecanium petrophilae (Fuller); Hsuia cheni Borchsenius; Aclerda arundinariae McConnell; A. distorta Green; A. tillandsiae Howell; A. tokionis Cockerell; Aclerda sp. A; Aclerda sp. B; Luzulaspis caricis (Ehrhorn); Akermes scrobiculatus (Maskell); A. pingue (Maskell); Cardiococcus major (Maskell); Ctenochiton serratus Green; C. eucalypti Maskell, and ?Pulvinaria dodonaeae Maskell). This paper summarises the data from all of these descriptions, and provides diagnoses for the adult male morphology for all of the neococcoid families and other taxa discussed here. Because our concept of the “Eriococcidae” remains uncertain, extra attention has been payed to the taxa considered to be most closely involved. At least 1 illustration is included of an adult male of each of the taxa (mainly families) discussed here. Identification keys are provided for most of the males described to-date.

This paper presents descriptions of five species of sharks of the families Hexanchidae and Crassodontidanidae from the Cretaceous deposits of South-West Crimea: Crassodontidanus aff. wiedenrothi (Thies, 1983) (Bolshoy Kermen Mountain, lower Hauterivian), Pachyhexanchus pockrandti (Ward et Thies, 1987) (Bolshoy Kermen Mountain, lower Hauterivian), Notidanodon aff. lanceolatus (Woodward, 1886) (Belaya Mountain, lower – middle Cenomanian), N. cf. lanceolatus (near Maryino Village, middle Aptian), and N. dentatus (Woodward, 1886) (Kremennaya Mountain, lower Cenomanian). The tooth of Crassodontidanus aff. wiedenrothi is close in morphology to those of C. wiedenrothi from the Jurassic of Germany. Pachyhexanchus pockrandti is the second record of this species in the Tethys region. Representatives of Notidanodon aff. lanceolatus are sharply different from other species of this genus in tooth morphology; this taxon is, likely, an ancestral form for the family Heptranchidae.

AbstractThe sex pheromone of the peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella (Zeller), was identified 30 years ago but the communication biology of this species has hardly been studied. In laboratory experiments, female moths kept at a photoperiod of 16L:8D (20 ± 2 °C, 70% ± 5% relative humidity) emitted pheromone before, during, and after sunrise (0400–0600 Pacific standard time), whereas pheromone was present in pheromone glands at similar quantities throughout the 24 h recording period. These data suggest that pheromone production and emission are not closely linked. In field experiments during July 2001 near Livingston, California (CA), and during June 2002 near Keremeos, British Columbia (BC), males were attracted to traps baited with synthetic sex pheromone (CA) or conspecific females (BC) only between 0300 and 0600 (Pacific standard time), suggesting overlap between periods of pheromone emission by females and attraction response by males. Groups of females in the presence of conspecific males, which were physically separated from females, emitted less sex pheromone than groups of females in the absence of males, suggesting that males communicate their presence to females and females change their behaviour in response.

Аннотация: Бул илимий макалада жазгыч акын Молдо Кылычтын табият темасында сүрөттөлгөн чыгармалары тууралуу сөз болот. Акындын “Жинди суу” аттуу чыгармасындагы суу темасынын кыргыздын башка акын-жазуучуларынан айырмаланган ой жүгүртүүлөрү, айрым бир окшош жактары, чыгарманын жазылыш себептери талдоого алынды. ”Чүй баяны”, ”Керме -Тоо” аттуу чыгармаларында өсүмдүктөр дүйнөсү менен канаттууулар дүйнөсүн бир нече түрлөрүнүн орун алышы, сыпатталышы иликтенген, акындын табиятка жакын болгондугу, жаратылышты сүйүүсү,алардын көп түрдүүлүгүн ачып бере алгандыгына баа берилген.

Аннотация: В этой статье будет идти речь об изображении природы в произведениях акына письменника Молдо Кылыча. Размышления поэта, отличавшаяся от других поэтов–писателей, некоторые сходные моменты и причины написания водной темы в произведении поэта «Бешеная вода» были взяты на анализ. В произведениях «Повесть о Чу», «Керме Тоо» были разобраны несколько видов отражения и художественного описания растительного мира вместе с миром пернатых, была дана оценка близости поэта к природе, любовь его к ней, мастерство раскрытия разнообразия их. Показывается отличное знание Молдо Кылычем не только географических названий местностей и рек, но и место нахождения их вплоть до границ распространения. Были изучены и разобраны названия множества видов пернатых, начиная с насекомых, более 105 растений и лекарственных трав, овощей и фруктов и описание их внешних видов. Ключевые слова: тема, описание, природа, представление, образ, мышление, география, произведение, поэт. Summary: This article will refer to representation of nature in works of the poetwriter MoldoKylych. Thinking of poet, differing from other poet-writers, some common moments and reasons of writing of water theme in the work of the poet “Furious water” were taken for analysis. There were considered some types of reflection and artistic description of the plant life together with the birds’ world in such works as “Chu Tale”, “Kerme Too”, there was esteemed closeness of the poet to the nature, love of nature, skills of its variety revelation. There was shown an excellent knowledge of not only geographic names of places and rivers by MoldoKylych but also their location up to the places of distribution limits. There were studied and analyzed names of many kinds of birds, insects, more than 105 plants and herbs, vegetables and fruits and description of their appearance. Keywords: idea, description, representation, image, thinking, geography, work, poet.

Drippy blight is an emergent disease of red oaks, caused by the interaction between a kermes scale insect (Allokermes galliformis) and a bacterium (Lonsdalea quercina subsp. quercina). Multi-locus sequence analysis was used to confirm the bacterial pathogen’s identity and its relationship to other phylogenetically related Enterobacteriaceae species. Further, Koch’s postulates were performed on sapling red oaks. Prior to the discovery of drippy blight disease in Colorado, in the United States, the bacterium was reported on oak trees in California but was limited to acorn infections. The scale insect, A. galliformis, was previously known to occur on pin oak in the eastern United States but was not previously associated with either this bacterium or the production of significant branch dieback associated with drippy blight. In addition to a description of this new disease, this research documents a host range expansion of L. quercina subsp. quercina to northern red oak (Quercus rubra), Shumard oak (Q. shumardii), and pin oak (Q. palustris) and extends the reported host range of A. galliformis to include northern red and Shumard oaks.

In North America there are 32 species of Kermesidae in five genera, but in northeastern North America there are only nine species in four genera (Eriokermes, Nanokermes, Allokermes, and Kermes). The Allokermes spp. that are of economic importance in Florida are A. cueroensis (Cockerell), A. galliformis (Riley), and A. kingii (Cockerell). The kermes scale, Allokermes kingii (Cockerell), is an important pest on oak (Quercus spp.) trees.

Halk hikâyeleri, bir sözlü edebiyat türü olarak geleneksel Türk yazınında geniş yer tutmaktadır. Yüzyıllar boyunca anlatılagelen ve çeşitli varyantlar halinde gelişen Leylâ ile Mecnûn, Ferhad ile Şirin, Kerem ile Aslı, Vâmık ile Azra, Tahir ile Zühre, Hüsrev ile Şirin gibi hikâyeler halkın kültürünü, dilini, dünya algısını yansıtan ürünler olarak halkbilimi ve halk edebiyatı açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Ancak bu hikâyeler, yalnızca sözlü edebiyat ürünleri olarak kalmamıştır. Klâsik Türk edebiyatında mesnevî formundaki eserler yoluyla bazıları yeniden yorumlanan bu anlatıların modern Türk edebiyatında da sanatçılar tarafından değerlendirildiği görülmektedir. Geleneksel anlatıları bir kaynak olarak gören yazarlar, kurguda ve formda birtakım değişiklikler yaparak bu hikâyeleri yeniden kaleme almışlardır. Cumhuriyet devri tiyatro yazarlarından Selahattin Batu’nun 1944’te yazdığı Kerem ile Aslı adlı tiyatro eseri bu duruma örnek gösterilebilir. Yazar, bu eserde Anadolu’daki en yaygın halk hikâyelerinden biri olan Kerem ile Aslı’yı yeniden yorumlamıştır. Eserde hikâyenin klâsik yapısından yer yer uzaklaşılarak yeni yaklaşımlar sergilenmesi ve manzum tiyatro formuyla geleneksel anlatıların akıcılığına ulaşılmak istenmesi dikkat çekicidir. Öte yandan eserde motiflerin kullanımı konusunda hikâye ile benzerlikler ve hikâyeden farklılıklar gözlemlenmektedir. Bu makalede, bir tiyatro eserinin geleneksel bir anlatıdan nasıl beslendiğini göstermek üzere halk hikâyesi Kerem ile Aslı’nın varyantları ile Selahattin Batu’nun Kerem ile Aslı adlı tiyatro eseri bir arada değerlendirilecek; bilhassa oyunda yer alan unsurlar ve motifler üzerinde durularak eserin yeri saptanmaya çalışılacaktır.
