There are currently no proposed standardised sampling plans or spray thresholds for the aphid Ericaphis fimbriata Richards (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum Linnaeus) in British Columbia, Canada, despite it being the primary vector for blueberry scorch virus (BlScV). A standard sampling plan for this pest would allow for rapid and consistent measurements of aphid abundance in commercial fields and would allow for more detailed study of the relationship between aphid abundance, damage, and the spread of BlScV. Binomial sampling plans use the presence:absence of a pest within a sample unit to estimate the proportion of infested sample units. Pest density (proportion of measured samples with individuals present) is linked to abundance (number of individuals), and the relationship between these two measures can be modelled mathematically. In the present study, we collected data on aphid density and aphid abundance in six varieties of highbush blueberry grown in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia. These data were used to construct a distribution-free binomial model that, when given a measure of aphid density, can predict aphid abundance within a given sample.","PeriodicalId":55289,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Entomologist","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135612340","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}

There is no consensus regarding the height of their dispersal flight in forests, and their method of approaching trees is unclear. This is also the case for Platypus quercivorus (Murayama) (Coleoptera: Platypodinae), which causes Japanese oak wilt by transporting a pathogenic fungus. To clarify the vertical distribution of the flying population of P. quercivorus inside the host tree canopy, interception traps were set up at heights of 1–9 m from the ground near the main trunk of eight host trees, Quercus serrata Thunberg (Fagaceae). Captured beetles were collected between July and October 2022. Hole-boring activities were observed on all trees during the season, and beetles were captured at all heights from 1 to 9 m. Beetle capture probability increased with a decrease in height, and the number of captured beetles increased with a decrease in distance from the main trunk. However, the trap design in this study could not capture individuals coming directly above and must be addressed to elucidate their method of approaching their host plant.","PeriodicalId":55289,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Entomologist","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135783855","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}

The juvenile hormone analogues are a group of insect growth regulators that increase larval ages and disrupt larval development. Moreover, they affect reproductive system in adult insects. In this study, the effects of sublethal doses of fenoxycarb on fecundity, fertility, and longevity parameters, as well as on oocyte size, ecdysteroid titer in ovaries, and expression level of the ultraspiracle ( USP ), ecdysone receptor ( EcR ), hormone receptor 3 ( HR 3), and vitellogenin ( Vg ) genes in adult female H. armigera , were examined. Feeding on artificial diet containing fenoxycarb (LC10 and LC25) significantly decreased the percentage of larval survival rate, pupation rate, pupal weight, fecundity, fertility, and oviposition period. It also clearly shortened female longevity. Fenoxycarb treatment suppressed the expression of the USP , EcR , and Vg genes in H. armigera but had no effect on the HR 3 gene expression level in either pupae or adults. Overall, our results show that using fenoxycarb as a juvenile hormone analogue can reduce reproduction in H. armigera and may work as an alternative to the use of insecticides for controlling this important agricultural pest.","PeriodicalId":55289,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Entomologist","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136201910","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}

The Japanese beetle started its invasion in the late 1930s, whereas I. aldrichi was detected only in 2009. It is assumed that I. aldrichi spread in the province from its introduced range in the northeastern United States of America. Throughout the summer, we used baited traps in eight localities of southern Québec (2018–2019) and in 13 raspberry ( Rubus idaeus ) fields (2022) localised along a latitudinal gradient to describe the distribution and seasonal occurrence of both species and the parasitism rates of I. aldrichi . We also mapped observational data from the online platform iNaturalist to further describe the current distribution of both the host and its parasitoid. Results indicate that I. aldrichi is well spread in southern Québec and along the St. Lawrence River in most areas where the Japanese beetle is present. Parasitism mostly occurs from late June to mid-July, before the peak of Japanese beetle populations, and levels of total seasonal parasitism range from 3.9 to 27.3% across sampled sites. Together, trap captures and data from iNaturalist provide evidence that I. aldrichi is now established in most areas of the province of Québec where the Japanese beetle is present.","PeriodicalId":55289,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Entomologist","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135446672","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}

The phenology of anthophagous thrips and their use of cultivated and wildflower resources were monitored in strawberry agroecosystems, encompassing strawberry (Rosaceae) fields and adjacent uncultivated margins, on Orléans Island, Québec, Canada. A community comprised of 11 thrips species was described, dominated during the whole season by pest species Frankliniella tritici and F. intonsa , which is a first mention in Eastern Canada. Surprisingly, the major strawberry pest F. occidentalis was absent in our samples. Thrips species richness and abundance on wildflowers varied, with few flowering plant species supporting a majority of the community. Sampling sites and local wildflower presence influenced the thrips species assemblage observed on strawberry crops. Such a high thrips diversity was unexpected in this agroecosystem. The identified associations between pest thrips and wildflower species will be useful to develop better control programmes in strawberry crops.","PeriodicalId":55289,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Entomologist","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207134","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}
