To investigate if the use of E. gallicus provides improved thrips and whitefly control, we conducted laboratory experiments examining the biology of E. gallicus and a semi-field experiment comparing the biological control efficiency of E. gallicus with that of Amblydromalus limonicus and Amblyseius swirskii, two phytoseiid species commonly used for biological control of thrips and whitefly in roses. Euseius gallicus had high oviposition rates on Typha latifolia pollen (3.9 eggs/day) and on young whitefly eggs (3.6 eggs/day). Oviposition on first instar Frankliniella occidentalis larvae was lower (1.5 eggs/day). Euseius gallicus predated 2.6 first instar thrips larvae per day; however, predation of thrips larvae was nearly zero when T. latifolia pollen was offered as a supplementary food source. Euseius gallicus females did not enter diapause under short-day conditions, and juvenile development was completed at 13°C. When released in combination with T. latifolia pollen on roses in the semi-field trial, E. gallicus developed the largest population of the predatory mites tested; however, despite reducing the whitefly population, it had no control effect on the thrips population.","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125949889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cryo-scanning electron microscopic study of T. urticae in contact with selected hosts was conducted, demonstrating the universal attachment of pretarsi to a variety of plant surface types, including crystalline waxy, glandular, and non-glandular hairy, as well as non-wettable and wettable surfaces. Similar to spiders and geckos, T. urticae bears a dry hairy attachment system. Beside the six empodial hairs (setae), each leg is equipped with four tenent (adhesive) setae with multi-part spatulate terminals (subunits), independent of the developmental stage. The cryo-scanning electron micrographs clearly demonstrate the formation of intimate contact between spatulate tips and substrates. Results are discussed in the context of arthropod attachment and arthropod–plant interactions.","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130934393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Japan, tea pollen is known to be a favorable food for many native phytoseiid species (Kishimoto et al., 2014). However, tea pollen may be insufficient in the mass rearing of phytoseiid mites, because collecting a large amount of tea pollen is rather laborious, and tea flowers bloom only from late October to early November. To further improve the rearing efficiency, the utilization of factitious foods is one prospective approach (Riddick, 2009). The eggs of the Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, are available commercially, and are known as a suitable food for rearing of many natural enemy species, such as Orius bugs, lacewings and lady beetles (e. g. Hamasaki and Matsui, 2006; Haruyama et al., 2012; Honda et al., 1998). Thus, the eggs of E. kuehniella may be a candidate alternative food for rearing phytoseiid mites. In this study, I examined the effects of E. kuehniella eggs on the development and oviposition of eight native phytoseiid mite species (Amblyseius eharai Amitai and Swirski, Amblyseius tsugawai Ehara, Euseius sojaensis (Ehara), Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor), Neoseiulus womersleyi (Schicha), Phytoseius nipponicus Ehara, Typhlodromus vulgaris Ehara and Typhlodromus transvaalensis (Nesbitt)) for evaluation of the quality as alternative food. T. transvaalensis was recently found in Japan (Ehara and Kishimoto, 2007). The seven other species are often abundant on various crops and vegetation surrounding orchards, and are known to be effective predators of tiny pests, such as spider mites, eriophyoid mites, and thrips (see Kishimoto, 2005; Kishimoto et al., 2014).","PeriodicalId":171325,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Acarological Society of Japan","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114306579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
