Use of native range surveys to determine the potential host range of arthropod herbivores for biological control of two related weed species, Rhamnus cathartica and Frangula alnus
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2008)
The buckthorn species, Rhamnus cathartica and Frangula alnus, are shrubs and small trees of Eurasian origin that have become invasive in North America. A program was initiated in 2001 to reassess the potential for biological ...
First pentasetacid mite from Australasian Araucariaceae: morphological description and molecular phylogenetic position of Pentasetacus novozelandicus n. sp. (Eriophyoidea, Pentasetacidae) and remarks on anal lobes in eriophyoid mites
(London : Systematic and Applied Acarology Society, 2019)
A new vagrant eriophyoid mite species of the archaic genus Pentasetacus (Schliesske 1985), P. novozelandicus n. sp., is described with the aid of conventional microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning ...
PCR-RFLP-based method for reliable discrimination of cryptic species within Mecinus janthinus species complex (Mecinini, Curculionidae) introduced in North America for biological control of invasive toadflaxes
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2013)
Several populations of the stem-mining weevil Mecinus janthinus Germar species complex (Mecinini, Curculionidae), identified based on morphological characteristics, have been introduced in North America for the biological ...
Phytophthora ramorum Occurrence in Ornamentals in Serbia
(Amer Phytopathological Soc, St Paul, 2010)
In a survey to determine the presence of Phytophthora ramorum in Serbia, ornamentals from garden centers, nurseries, and private and public gardens, as well as imported plant material, were inspected. In total, 577 plant, ...
Complete Genome of the Xanthomonas euvesicatoria Specific Bacteriophage K Phi 1, Its Survival and Potential in Control of Pepper Bacterial Spot
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018)
Xanthomonas euvesicatoria phage K Phi 1, a member of Myoviridae family, was isolated from the rhizosphere of pepper plants showing symptoms of bacterial spot. The phage strain expressed antibacterial activity to all X. ...
Evolution of host plant use and diversification in a species complex of parasitic weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(PeerJ Inc., 2019)
Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) represent one of the most diverse groups of organisms on Earth; interactions with their host plants have been recognized to play a central role in their remarkable diversity, yet the ...
Dictyophara europaea (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Dictyopharidae): description of immatures, biology and host plant associations
(Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, 2016)
The European lantern fly Dictyophara europaea (Linnaeus, 1767), is a polyphagous dictyopharid planthopper of Auchenorrhyncha commonly found throughout the Palaearctic. Despite abundant data on its distribution range and ...
Basal divergence of Eriophyoidea (Acariformes, Eupodina) inferred from combined partial COI and 28S gene sequences and CLSM genital anatomy
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2015)
Eriophyoids are an ancient group of highly miniaturized, morphologically simplified and diverse phytoparasitic mites. Their possible numerous host-switch events have been accompanied by considerable homoplastic evolution. ...
Bacteriophage-mediated control of phytopathogenic xanthomonads: A promising green solution for the future
(MDPI, 2021)
Xanthomonads, members of the family Xanthomonadaceae, are economically important plant pathogenic bacteria responsible for infections of over 400 plant species. Bacteriophage-based biopesticides can provide an environmentally ...
Phylogeny of the Subtribe Monoctonina (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae)
(Basel : MDPI, 2020)
Abstract: Members of the Monoctonina subtribe have long been neglected in applied studies of
the subfamily Aphidiinae, due to their low economic importance, as they do not parasitize pests
of cultivated plants. Consequently, ...
