However, the effects of climate change, agricultural management, and irrational pesticide use on the damage caused by these insects remains unknown. Long-term field monitoring in this study revealed that populations of YPM have surpassed those of WLM on walnut since 2018, indicating that YPM, previously considered a minor pest, is now becoming a major pest. Furthermore, field survey results showed that the primary pest can complete its life history in the walnut orchard and overwinter inside fallen fruit, allowing four generations every year. Our results provide a theoretical basis for controlling YPM, currently a major pest of walnut fruit in North China.","PeriodicalId":11719,"journal":{"name":"Entomological News","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44636412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its economic and ecological importance in agriculture, limited work is available from Turkey regarding spider diversity. This study investigated spider fauna of some major (wheat, maize and vegetables) and minor (sunflower, groundnut, tobacco, sesame and potato) field crops in southeastern Anatolia region, Turkey. Spider samples were collected from 16 different localities (115 fields) with sweep net and D-Vac machine. A total 212 specimens were classified as 41 species and 21 genera belonging to 18 families. The most commonly observed families were Philodromidae, Salticidae and Thomisidae. The highest spider diversity was found in cereal crops (23 species) followed by vegetable crops (22 species), while sunflower, lentil and potato (2 species each) had the lowest diversity. Thanatus sp., Evarcha sp., Phlegra sp. were the most abundant species in wheat. Cyclosa algerica Simon, 1885 was the first record in spider fauna from maize fields in Turkey. The current study improves the knowledge on spider diversity in Turkey, which can be used in future studies.","PeriodicalId":11719,"journal":{"name":"Entomological News","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44576341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
