| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 june 2010 - 31 july 2010. | this article documents the addition of 205 microsatellite marker loci to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: bagassa guianensis, bulweria bulwerii, camelus bactrianus, chaenogobius annularis, creontiades dilutus, diachasmimorpha tryoni, dioscorea alata, euhrychiopsis lecontei, gmelina arborea, haliotis discus hannai, hirtella physophora, melanaphis sacchari, munida isos, thaumastocoris peregrinus and tuberolachnus salignus. these loci were cro ... | 2010 | 21565125 |
| volatile organic compounds of conspecific-damaged eucalyptus benthamii influence responses of mated females of thaumastocoris peregrinus. | plants respond to herbivory by synthesizing and releasing novel blends of volatile organic compounds (vocs). natural enemies are attracted to these vocs, but little is known about the effects of these chemicals on the herbivores themselves. we studied the effect of thaumastocoris peregrinus herbivory on vocs released by eucalyptus benthamii plants and the responses of this herbivore to the vocs. in total, 12 compounds released by e. benthamii were identified. five compounds (β-pinene, linalool, ... | 2013 | 23609164 |
| biology and rearing of cleruchoides noackae (hymenoptera: mymaridae), an egg parasitoid for the biological control of thaumastocoris peregrinus (hemiptera: thaumastocoridae). | cleruchoides noackae lin and huber (hymenoptera: mymaridae) is a solitary egg parasitoid of thaumastocoris peregrinus carpintero and dellapé (hemiptera: thaumastocoridae). the parasitoid was first described in 2009 and its biology and rearing are poorly understood. a key obstacle to the use of c. noackae as a biological control agent has been the ability to consistently rear it under quarantine conditions. this study reports on a series of experiments conducted in quarantine to rear c. noackae a ... | 2013 | 24224238 |
| nomenclatural changes in mymaridae (hymenoptera: chalcidoidea). | three new world species are transferred from polynema haliday to other genera of mymaridae and redescribed based on examination of their type specimens: polynema albicoxa ashmead to acmopolynema ogloblin as acmopolynema albicoxa (ashmead), comb. n., polynema porteri (brèthes) to agalmopolynema ogloblin as agalmopolynema porteri (brèthes), comb. n., and polynema giraulti perkins, for which a lectotype is designated, to stephanodes enock as stephanodes giraulti (perkins), comb. n. agalmopolynema s ... | 2016 | 27988551 |
| attraction of male nymphs to adult male volatiles in the bronze bug thaumastocoris peregrinus carpintero & dellape (heteroptera: thaumastocoridae). | the bronze bug, thaumastocoris peregrinus carpintero & dellape (heteroptera: thaumastocoridae), is an exotic emerging pest in eucalyptus commercial forests in south america, africa and southern europe. information on the chemical communication system and reproductive ecology of this insect is scant, and it may be relevant for designing management strategies for eucalypt plantations. adults and nymphs usually aggregate in the field, possibly by means of chemical signals. males emit large amounts ... | 2017 | 29275527 |
| first evidence of thaumastocoris peregrinus (heteroptera: thaumastocoridae) feeding from mesophyll of eucalyptus leaves. | the bronze bug, thaumastocoris peregrinus carpintero & dellapé, 2006 (heteroptera: thaumastocoridae) originally restricted to australia, is an important emerging pest of eucalyptus plantations in the southern hemisphere. it feeds on mature leaves, causing the loss of photosynthetic surface area and defoliation and, according to some studies, even tree death. in this work, feeding activities of t. peregrinus on eucalyptus camaldulensis dehn leaves and its primary food resources were identified. i ... | 2017 | 28082460 |
| natural occurrence of zoophthora radicans (entomophthorales: entomophthoraceae) on thaumastocoris peregrinus (heteroptera: thaumastocoridae), an invasive pest recently found in brazil. | occurrence of zoophthora radicans infecting nymphs and adults of thaumastocoris peregrinus carpintero and dellape, 2006 is reported in brazil. this is a new record of host for this fungal species and the first fungal pathogen associated with this pest worldwide. infection of z. radicans on t. peregrinus populations on commercial eucalyptus plantation (eucalyptus spp.) reached up to 100%, and low insect densities were associated with high levels of fungal infection in three out of seven plots. th ... | 2012 | 22490879 |
