| tremblaya phenacola pper: an evolutionary beta-gammaproteobacterium collage. | many insects rely on bacterial endosymbionts to obtain nutrients that are scarce in their highly specialized diets. the most surprising example corresponds to the endosymbiotic system found in mealybugs from subfamily pseudococcinae in which two bacteria, the betaproteobacterium 'candidatus tremblaya princeps' and a gammaproteobacterium, maintain a nested endosymbiotic consortium. in the sister subfamily phenacoccinae, however, a single beta-endosymbiont, 'candidatus tremblaya phenacola', has be ... | 2018 | 28914880 |
| seasonal phenology, spatial distribution, and sampling plan for the invasive mealybug phenacoccus peruvianus (hemiptera: pseudococcidae). | phlenacoccus peruvianus granara de willink (hemiptera: pseudococcidae) is an invasive mealybug of neotropical origin. in recent years it has invaded the mediterranean basin causing significant damages in bougainvillea and other ornamental plants. this article examines its phenology, location on the plant and spatial distribution, and presents a sampling plan to determine p. peruvianus population density for the management of this mealybug in southern europe. six urban green spaces with bougainvi ... | 2013 | 23865218 |
