Non-native plant invader renders suitable habitat unsuitableArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 9 - Trang 577-583 - 2015
L. Grunzweig, D. J. Spiering, A. Labatore, R. J. Warren
Coevolution between insect herbivores and their target plants often prompts an evolutionary arms race so that insects develop methods to overcome plant defenses. In doing so, some insects become specialized on host plants so that suitable habitat for these herbivorous insects may be demarcated by coevolved plant species. Non-native plant species may render suitable habitat unsuitable by replacing ...... hiện toàn bộ
Searching for the signal of competition in plant-mediated interactions among coexisting gall insects on broad-leaved paperbarkArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 6 - Trang 83-91 - 2011
S. Raghu, B. Brown, M. F. Purcell
The central prediction of competition theory is that a reciprocal struggle for resources should manifest itself among coexisting species under conditions of increasing functional similarity (e.g. similar feeding niche), density and spatio-temporal overlap. We investigated whether the signal from such a struggle was evident in a community of phytophagous gall insects on Melaleuca quinquenervia meet...... hiện toàn bộ
Coffee volatiles induced after mechanical injury and beetle herbivory attract the coffee berry borer and two of its parasitoidsArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 10 - Trang 151-159 - 2016
Leopoldo Cruz-López, Bernardino Díaz-Díaz, Julio C. Rojas
The coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), is the most important insect pest of coffee worldwide. In this study, we used headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to sample and identify volatile compounds from Robusta coffee berries, Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner, infested with CBB and with mechanical damage. Furthermore, we eva...... hiện toàn bộ
Host plant preference of Trioza erytreae on lemon and bitter orange plantsArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 15 - Trang 887-896 - 2021
Jacinto Benhadi-Marín, Elisa Garzo, Aránzazu Moreno, José Alberto Pereira, Alberto Fereres
Trioza erytreae, the African citrus psyllid, is a vector of Candidatus Liberibacter spp., the causal agent of the citrus greening disease or Huanglongbing (HLB). The spread of the vector throughout the Iberian Peninsula has been continuous since its introduction in mainland Spain in 2014. The patterns of host preference and feeding behaviour largely depend on olfactory cues. Understanding these pa...... hiện toàn bộ
Analysing spatial correlation of weeds and harvester ants in cereal fields using point processesArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 10 - Trang 197-205 - 2016
Carles Comas, Aritz Royo-Esnal, Jordi Recasens, Joel Torra
The interaction between the spatial distribution of weed richness and weed cover and the spatial location of harvester ant nets was investigated in cereal fields. The understanding of such interdependencies can be relevant to understand weed population dynamics in dryland cereal fields and may enhance management strategies for weed control. We used spatial statistical tools derived from point proc...... hiện toàn bộ
Modelling transmission characteristics and epidemic development of the tospovirus–thrip interactionArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 9 - Trang 107-120 - 2015
M. J. Jeger, F. van den Bosch, N. McRoberts
Tospoviruses are plant viruses in the genus Bunyaviridae transmitted in a persistent–propagative manner by a range of thrips species and cause disease in wide range of cultivated crops and wild hosts. The viruses in this genus are the only plant-infecting members of the Bunyaviridae. A distinguishing feature, of tospoviruses, from other persistent–propagative plant viruses is that acquisition fro...... hiện toàn bộ
Role of larval host plant experience and solanaceous plant volatile emissions in Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) host finding behaviorArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 8 - Trang 293-304 - 2014

The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is considered to be a major pest that damages tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum L; Solanaceae) crops in South American, European, and Mediterranean countries. This insect species is polyphagous (i.e., feeds on many types of food); hence, it could also develop on other cultivated host plants, principally solanaceous ...... hiện toàn bộ
