Journal ArticleDOI

Mark K. Asplen,Gianfranco Anfora,Antonio Biondi,Antonio Biondi,Deuk Soo Choi,Dong Chu,Kent M. Daane,Patricia Gibert,Andrew Paul Gutierrez,Kim A. Hoelmer,William D. Hutchison,Rufus Isaacs,Zhi Lin Jiang,Zsolt Kárpáti,Masahito T. Kimura,Marta Pascual,Christopher R. Philips,Christophe Plantamp,Luigi Ponti,Gábor Vétek,Heidrun Vogt,Vaughn M. Walton,Yi Yu,Lucia Zappalà,Nicolas Desneux +24 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that particularly fruitful areas of research should include fundamental studies of its overwintering, host-use, and dispersal capabilities; as well as applied studies of alternative, cost-effective management techniques to complement insecticide use within the integrated pest management framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
European buckthorn and Asian soybean aphid as components of an extensive invasional meltdown in North America
George E. Heimpel,Lee E. Frelich,Douglas A. Landis,Keith R. Hopper,Kim A. Hoelmer,Zeynep Sezen,Mark K. Asplen,Kongming Wu +7 more
TL;DR: The possibility of an extensive invasional meltdown occurring in central North America involving eleven Eurasian species is considered and opportunities for managing multiple invasive species simultaneously by targeting facilitator species and implications for biological control introductions against the soybean aphid are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multistate Comparison of Attractants for Monitoring Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Blueberries and Caneberries.
Hannah J. Burrack,Mark K. Asplen,Luz D. Bahder,Judith A Collins,Francis A. Drummond,Christelle Guédot,Rufus Isaacs,Donn T. Johnson,Anna Blanton,Jana C. Lee,Gregory M. Loeb,Cesar Rodriguez-Saona,Steven Van Timmeren,Douglas B. Walsh,Douglas R. McPhie +14 more
TL;DR: Several homemade baits were more efficient than apple cider vinegar, a commonly used standard, and a commercially formulated lure was, in some configurations and environments, comparable with the most effective homemade attractant as well as potentially more selective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Almost There: Transmission Routes of Bacterial Symbionts between Trophic Levels
Elad Chiel,Elad Chiel,Einat Zchori-Fein,Moshe Inbar,Yuval Gottlieb,Tetsuya Adachi-Hagimori,Tetsuya Adachi-Hagimori,Suzanne E. Kelly,Mark K. Asplen,Martha S. Hunter +9 more
TL;DR: Transmission of two distantly related bacterial symbionts – Rickettsia and Hamiltonella – from their host, the sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, to three species of whitefly parasitoids is investigated and potential routes and barriers to horizontal transmission of symbiontes across trophic levels are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cold Hardiness of Winter-Acclimated Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Adults.
TL;DR: Measurements of insect cold tolerance, the supercooling point and lower lethal temperature, indicate that D. suzukii is a chill intolerant insect, and winter-morph adults are the most cold-tolerant life stage.
