Abstract:

The olfactory response of fire ants to plant leaves, mealybugs and the honeydew excreted by mealybugs was tested with a Y-tube olfactometer. The foraging activities of fire ants on three plants were also measured. Our results showed that plant leaves and mealybugs alone had no significant attraction to the fire ant workers, while fire ants could be obviously attracted by honeydew. The selection rate of fire ants on honeydew of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, cotton (Gossypium spp.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was 60.22%, 57.45% and 64.29% respectively.

Pseudococcidae species, also known as mealybugs, comprises a complex of pests in various cultivated and non-cultivated plant species, among which fruit plants are most affected by both direct and indirect damage. The incidence of these pest species has been constant in productive environments, causing significant losses due to sap suction, virus transmission, and damage to fruit quality. Thus, this study aimed to know and investigate the population dynamics of natural enemies of Pseudococcidae in different fruit plants cultivated in the semiarid region of Brazil.

About 20 species are common.

Crematogaster ants were observed tending the mealybugs. Three broods per year were detected, with adults produced in May, July and September.

Abstract:

Classical biological control programmes have historically been viewed positively but in the new social context of all new invaders are bad the perceived environmental threats from new natural enemies are regarded by some as unacceptable Hostspecificity testing of proposed biocontrol agents is required to provide environmental safety assurances but laboratory methods are likely to be flawed and cannot mimic the reality of nature It is proposed that analysis of the realised hostrange of longestablished exotic parasitoids may help to predict the impacts of proposed new biocontrol agents and suppl

Abstract:

The Comstock mealybug, Pseudococcus comstocki (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is a primary pest of orchards in the North and Northwest of China. This pest appeared recently in Europe, including Italy, where it is infesting mainly vineyards as well as apple and pear orchards. The present study investigated the efficacy of Anagyrus vladimiri, a known biological control agent (BCA) of Planococcus ficus, on P. comstocki to evaluate a potential use for the management of this new pest. No-choice tests were conducted to quantify the parasitoid behavior against P. ficus and P. comstocki. The parasitoid su

Abstract:

A peculiar new genus of Ortheziidae is described from Queensland, Australia. Acropygorthezia williamsi LaPolla & Miller, n. gen. & sp. was discovered in two localities in the nests of Acropyga myops. Descriptions and illustrations are provided for the adult female, adult male, first-instar nymph, prepupa, and pupa; descriptions only are provided for the secondand third-instar nymphs. Prior to this study, Acropyga ants were known to enter into trophobiotic relationships only with mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). Therefore, this study represents the first non-mealybug association b

Abstract:

Mutualistic association between Azteca Forel, 1878 ants and Cecropia Loefl. plants are one of the most studied interactions in Neotropics, however, natural history studies of Azteca species still poorly investigated due to the great effort required to conduct detailed descriptive studies. Here, we describe biological aspects of Azteca muelleri Emery, 1893 nesting in Cecropia glaziovii Snethl. in a fragment of Atlantic Forest, addressing (a) colony size; (b) nest distribution on the tree; and (c) worker and queen morphometrics. We collected two C. glaziovii saplings and counted characteristics

Abstract:

AbstractRastrococcus invadens Williams, a serious pest of fruit crops in West Africa was studied under controlled conditions. The different stages of the mealybug are described and data given on development times, adult lifespan, fecundity, sex ratio and mortality rates. Similar data are also given for a primary parasitoid, Gyranusoidea tebygi Noyes. The parasitoid completed almost two generations for each one of the mealybug and had a female-biased sex ratio compared with a male-biased one for R. invadens. The parasitoid did not parasitize other species of mealybugs offered. G. tebygi was con

AbstractPopulation densities of honeydew-producing Homoptera were assessed on mature upper-Amazon cocoa (Theobroma cacao) (Sterculiaceae) trees with combinations of the ants Crematogaster clariventris Mayr, Pheidole megacephala (Fabricius) and Tetramorium aculeatum (Mayr). Interactions were found between combinations of the three ant species and the abundance of Homoptera attended for honeydew. Crematogaster clariventris primarily attended Stictococcus sjostedti Cockerell (Stictococcidae), and less frequently Waxiella sp. nr zonata (Newstead) (Coccidae). Pheidole megacephala attended mealybugs

The bioecology study of any parasitoid using alternative hosts imposes divergent selection pressures on parasitoid populations. In this study, we investigated the bioecology potential of parasitoid <em>Acerophagus papayae</em> Noyes and Schauff on papaya mealybug <em>Paracoccus marginatus</em> Williams and Granara De Willink from different plant hosts. The parameters studied were adult longevity (survival of progeny), fecundity and productivity of female mealybugs and sex ratio of progenies of <em>P. marginatus</em>. The results showed significant difference
