| density and egg parasitism of stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in elderberry and dispersal into crops. | chinavia hilaris (say), euschistus servus (say), euschistus tristigmus (say), and thyanta custator custator (f.) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) are serious pests of crops in the southeastern united states but little is known concerning their dispersal from noncrop hosts in woodlands into crops. this 2-yr study was conducted to investigate whether elderberry [sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (l.) r. bolli] in woodlands serves as a source of stink bugs dispersing into adjacent crops and to examine para ... | 2016 | 27773875 |
| predation of the newly invasive pest megacopta cribraria (hemiptera: plataspidae) in soybean habitats adjacent to cotton by a complex of predators. | the kudzu bug, megacopta cribraria (f.) (hemiptera: plataspidae),is a newly invasive exotic insect found primarily on kudzu, but also on soybean, in the southeastern united states. we used molecular gut-content analysis to document predation on this pest by insects and spiders in soybean, and to detect remains of crop-specific alternative prey in predators' guts as markers of predator migration between soybean and adjacent cotton. m. cribraria was found exclusively on soybean. eight native gener ... | 2014 | 25026652 |
| species composition, monitoring, and feeding injury of stink bugs (heteroptera: pentatomidae) in blackberry. | blackberry (rubus spp.) production in florida has increased > 100% within the past two decades. and several insect pests, including stink bugs (heteroptera: pentatomidae), have been observed feeding on this crop. the objectives for this study were to determine the stink bug species present in blackberry; to develop monitoring tools for stink bugs in blackberry; and to describe feeding injury to blackberries by euschistus quadrator rolston, a relatively new stink bug pest to florida, that has spr ... | 2013 | 23786082 |
| stylet penetration estimates for a suite of phytophagous hemipteran pests of row crops. | members of the miridae (lygus lineolaris palisot de beauvois and pseudatomoscelis seriatus reuter) and pentatomidae (acrosternum hilare say, euschistus servus (say), euschistus tristigmus (say), euschistus quadrator rolston, oebalus pugnax (f.), piezodorus guildinii (westwood), and thyanta custator accerra mcatee) comprise a piercing-sucking insect complex that continues to plague multiple crops, including cotton. all these species have been associated with pathogen transmission. breaching of bo ... | 2015 | 26313968 |
| spatial and temporal patterns of stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in wheat. | a 2-yr study was conducted in south carolina wheat fields to describe spatial and temporal dynamics of stink bugs sampled with sweep nets. in 2008, the main phytophagous species were euschistus servus (say) (35.8, 36.7%), oebalus pugnax (f.) (35.0, 6.0%), nezara viridula l., (15.2, 46.3%), and thyanta custator (f.) (14.0, 10.5%) for adults and nymphs, respectively. in 2009, the main phytophagous species were o. pugnax (39.8, 37.8%), e. servus (38.4, 30.0%), n. viridula (14.6, 29.5%), and t. cust ... | 2010 | 20550810 |
| spatial distribution of stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in wheat. | a two-year study was conducted in south carolina wheat (triticum aestivum l. (poales: poaceae)) fields to describe spatial and temporal dynamics of stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae), which were sampled weekly with sweep nets. in 2010, the main phytophagous stink bugs caught in a grid sampling plan across two fields were the brown stink bug, euschistus servus (say), the rice stink bug, oebalus pugnax (f.), the southern green stink bug, nezara viridula (l.), and the red shouldered stink bug, th ... | 2014 | 25205358 |
