| the population genetic structure of corythucha ciliata (say) (hemiptera: tingidae) provides insights into its distribution and invasiveness. | corythucha ciliata (say), an invasive pest originating from north america, causes severe damage on sycamore trees. however, little is known about the population genetics and evolutionary forces underlying the invasiveness of this important pest. in the present study, we use three mitochondrial genes (coi, nd1 and nd5) and nine microsatellite markers to investigate the population genetics of c. ciliata and retrace its spread through china. the results suggest a low level of genetic diversity in c ... | 2017 | 28377573 |
| understanding the mechanisms of dormancy in an invasive alien sycamore lace bug, corythucha ciliata through transcript and metabolite profiling. | the sycamore lace bug, corythucha ciliata, is a pest of sycamore trees. in china, it is found in the most northern border where it has been known to become dormant during harsh winters. but the molecular and metabolic basis for dormancy in this insect is still unknown. in this study, we analyzed the transcript and metabolite profiles of this bug to identify key genes and metabolites that are significantly regulated during dormancy in adult females and males. in total, 149 differentially expresse ... | 2017 | 28572631 |
| identification of hsp70 gene in corythucha ciliata and its expression profiles under laboratory and field thermal conditions. | previous laboratory studies have demonstrated that insects can tolerate high temperatures by expressing inducible heat shock proteins (hsps). this hsp-based tolerance, however, has seldom been studied under field conditions. here, we cloned the hsp70 gene of corythucha ciliata (cchsp70), an invasive insect species with substantial thermal tolerance in subtropical china. we also compared the relative mrna expression levels of cchsp70 in response to controlled temperature treatments (2 h at 33-43 ... | 2017 | 28884419 |
| spring warming increases the abundance of an invasive specialist insect: links to phenology and life history. | under global warming, shifts in phenological synchrony between insects and host plants (i.e., changes in the relative timing of the interaction) may reduce resource availability to specialist insects. some specialists, however, can flexibly track the shifts in host-plant phenology, allowing them to obtain sufficient resources and therefore to benefit from rising temperatures. here, we investigated the effects of experimental warming on the life history of an invasive, specialist lace bug (coryth ... | 2017 | 29093523 |
| anaerobic respiration and antioxidant responses of corythucha ciliata (say) adults to heat-induced oxidative stress under laboratory and field conditions. | high temperature often induces oxidative stress and antioxidant response in insects. this phenomenon has been well documented under controlled laboratory conditions, but whether it happens under fluctuating field conditions is largely unknown. in this study, we used an invasive lace bug (corythucha ciliata) as a model species to compare the effects of controlled thermal treatments (2 h at 33-43 °c with 2 °c intervals in the laboratory) and naturally fluctuating thermal conditions (08:00-14:00 at ... | 2013 | 23943359 |
| increases in both temperature means and extremes likely facilitate invasive herbivore outbreaks. | although increases in mean temperature (mt) and extreme high temperature (eht) can greatly affect population dynamics of insects under global warming, how concurrent changes in both mt and eht affect invasive species is largely unknown. we used four thermal regimes to simulate the increases in summer temperature and compared their effects on the life-history traits of three geographical populations (chongqing, wuhan and shanghai) of an invasive insect, corythucha ciliata, in china. the four ther ... | 2015 | 26502826 |
| geraniol, e-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol, as the alarm pheromone of the sycamore lace bug corythucha ciliata (say). | although adult sycamore lace bugs corythucha ciliata (say) show no sign of aggregation, nymphs at all developing stages are gregarious. when an individual nymph in the center of a colony was squashed with a needlepoint, proximate nymphs showed evasive behavior. the same evasive reaction was produced by exposing aggregated nymphs to nymph hexane extract. the active component, e-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol, geraniol, was responsible for the evasive behavior, and identified as the alarm pheromon ... | 2011 | 22076683 |
