Tomicus Piniperda (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) Reproduction And Behavior On Scotch Pine Christmas Trees Taken Indoors, Robert A. Haack, Robert K. Lawrence
Tomicus Piniperda (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) Reproduction And Behavior On Scotch Pine Christmas Trees Taken Indoors, Robert A. Haack, Robert K. Lawrence
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Tomicus piniperda, the pine shoot beetle, is an exotic insect that was first found in North America in 1992. A federal quarantine currently restricts movement of pine products, including Christmas trees, from infested to uninfested counties. We conducted a study to determine if T. piniperda would re- produce in Christmas trees that were cut and taken indoors during the Christmas season. Twelve Scotch pine, Pinus sylvestris, Christmas trees infested with overwintering T. piniperda beetles were cut in Indiana in early December 1993 and taken to Michigan. Four trees were dissected immediately, while the other 8 trees were taken …

New Records Of Five Ground Beetles From Ohio (Coleoptera: Carabidae), Foster F. Purrington, R. Chris Stanton
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Five ground beetles (Carabidae), Carabus sylvosus, Elaphrus americanus, Cyclotrachelus incisus, Piesmus submarginatus and Amara crassispina are reported from Ohio for the first time.
Survey Of Predators Associated With European Red Mite (Panonychus Ulmi; Acari: Tetranychidae) In Ohio Apple Orchards, Celeste Welty
Survey Of Predators Associated With European Red Mite (Panonychus Ulmi; Acari: Tetranychidae) In Ohio Apple Orchards, Celeste Welty
The Great Lakes Entomologist
A survey was conducted to identify the types and relative abundance of predatory arthropods associated with Panonychus ulmi in 21 Ohio apple orchards. Mite populations were sampled by leaf brushing, and insects and spiders were sampled by limb jarring. A state-wide survey was conducted in early July and in late August 1992, and five blocks were evaluated periodically from May until August 1992 at one farm in central Ohio. Predatory mites were detected in only 27% of the blocks surveyed in early July, but in 74% of the blocks surveyed in late August. The ratio of predatory mites to motile …
Differential Shoot Feeding By Adult Tomicus Piniperda (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) In Mixed Stands Of Native And Introduced Pines In Indiana., Clifford S. Sadof, Robert D. Waltz, Charles D. Kellam
Differential Shoot Feeding By Adult Tomicus Piniperda (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) In Mixed Stands Of Native And Introduced Pines In Indiana., Clifford S. Sadof, Robert D. Waltz, Charles D. Kellam
The Great Lakes Entomologist
The larger pine shoot beetle Tomicus piniperda, a native bark beetle of Europe and Asia, was found in North American Christmas tree plantations in 1992 in Ohio. Subsequent surveys found it in six U.S. states and in one Canadian province. The first natural area where Tomicus was found to be established was at the Indiana Dunes State Park, in northwestern Indiana near the Lake Michigan shoreline. Pine stands were surveyed for fallen shoots to determine the extent and range of shoot feeding in the park. Within the study area adult Tomicus fed on the shoots of all native pines …
Field Investigations On The American Dog Tick, Dermacentor Variabilis, In Northwest Ohio (Acari: Ixodidae), Kelly M. Micher, C. Lee Rockett
Field Investigations On The American Dog Tick, Dermacentor Variabilis, In Northwest Ohio (Acari: Ixodidae), Kelly M. Micher, C. Lee Rockett
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Ecological investigations on the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis, were conducted in two metroparks located in Lucas County, Ohio. Adult tick surveys were conducted in 1989 and 1990. For both years, adult tick activity began in late April, and adult ticks were most abundant from early May to mid-June. Observed activity had ceased by early August, producing a unimodal pattern of activity. Sunny days with temperatures between 24 ° and 32°C were most conducive to adult tick activity, and adult ticks were most abundant on grass trails and in meadows. Using nest boxes inhabited by white-footed mice, immature tick …
Dytiscidae And Noteridae Of Wisconsin (Coleoptera). Ii. Distribution, Habitat, Life Cycle, And Identification Of Species Of Dytiscinae, William L. Hilsenhoff
Dytiscidae And Noteridae Of Wisconsin (Coleoptera). Ii. Distribution, Habitat, Life Cycle, And Identification Of Species Of Dytiscinae, William L. Hilsenhoff

Twenty-one species of Dytiscinae were collected in Wisconsin over the past 30 years, including three species of Acilius, one species of Cybister, eight species of Dytiscus, five species of Graphoderus, two species of Hydaticus, and two species of Thermonectus. Species keys are provided for adults, and except for Dytiscus and Cybister, keys are also provided for larvae. Based on a study of 13,236 adults and 854 larvae, information on the distribution and abundance of each species in Wisconsin is provided along with notes on their habitat, life cycle, and identification.
The Parasitoid Complex Of Forest Tent Caterpillar, Malacosoma Disstria (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), In Eastern Wyoming Shelterbelts, G. A. Knight, R. J. Lavigne, M. G. Pogue
The Parasitoid Complex Of Forest Tent Caterpillar, Malacosoma Disstria (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), In Eastern Wyoming Shelterbelts, G. A. Knight, R. J. Lavigne, M. G. Pogue
The Great Lakes Entomologist
A parasitoid complex affecting the forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria, was investigated during 1978-79 in shelterbelts in eastern Wyoming. Egg parasitoids included five species: Ablerus clisiocampae, Ooencyrtus clisiocampae, Telenomus clisiocampae, Tetrastichus sp. 1 and Telenomus sp. Thirteen hymenopterous species and five dipterous species were reared from larvae and pupae of the forest tent caterpillar. The most common 5th-instar larval parasitoids were the tachinid flies, Lespesia archippivora and Archytas lateralis. Of the pupal parasitoids reared, 640/0 were Diptera and 36% were Hymenoptera. Four previously unrecorded parasitoids of M. disstria were reared: Cotesia alalantae, Macrocentrus irridescens, Pimpla sanguinipes erythropus, …
The Insects Of Treeholes Of Northern Indiana With Special Reference To Megaselia Scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae) And Spilomyia Longicornis (Diptera: Syrphidae), Robert S. Copeland
The Insects Of Treeholes Of Northern Indiana With Special Reference To Megaselia Scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae) And Spilomyia Longicornis (Diptera: Syrphidae), Robert S. Copeland
The Great Lakes Entomologist
The aquatic insect community of treeholes in northern Indiana was surveyed from 1983-1986. Twenty-three species, representing three orders and nine families, were found. Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae) was collected on several occasions from rotholes, the first member of this family from treeholes. Examination of puparia of Spilomyia longicornis (Diptera: Syrphidae) indicated that the larva of this species has been previously described, but incorrectly associated with the genus Xylata.
Terricolous Spiders (Araneae) Of Insecticide-Treated Spruce-Fir Forests In West-Central Maine, Daniel J. Hilburn, Daniel T. Jennings
Terricolous Spiders (Araneae) Of Insecticide-Treated Spruce-Fir Forests In West-Central Maine, Daniel J. Hilburn, Daniel T. Jennings
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Spiders of 12 families, 42 genera, and at least 62 species were captured in linear-pitfall traps placed in insecticide-treated (Sevin-4-Oil®, Dipel 4L ®, Thuricide 16B®) and untreated spruce-fIr forests of west-central Maine. Species richness per family ranged from 1 (Theridiidae, Araneidae, Salticidae) to 19 (Erigonidae). Most trapped species were web-spinners (67.2%); most trapped individuals were hunters (75.2%). Lycosidae accounted for 66.1 % of all (n = 887) captured spiders. Total trapped spiders varied among insecticide treatments, sampling dates, and study sites. However, comparison of mean prespray and postspray trap catches indicated no significant reduction (ANOVA, ANCOVA, P 0.05) in terricolous …
Managing Cities As Urban Ecosystems: Fundamentals And A Framework For Los Angeles, California, Isaac T. Brown
Managing Cities As Urban Ecosystems: Fundamentals And A Framework For Los Angeles, California, Isaac T. Brown
Cities and the Environment (CATE)
Ecosystem-based frameworks offer a robust platform for managing complex ecological challenges associated with land management. Actionable frameworks for urban ecosystems are just emerging, and the purpose of this essay is to support advancing application in city management contexts. Comprehensive urban ecosystem frameworks have the potential to synergize interrelated, yet often siloed, urban environmental management themes including urban biodiversity and natural features, pollution management, ecosystem services enhancement, and natural hazards; particularly as urban sustainability, resiliency, and infrastructure initiatives increasingly reshape cities and elevate consideration of these topics. This essay begins with a review of fundamentals of urban ecosystems across multiple relevant …
Seasonal Occurrence Of Pine Root Collar Weevil, Hylobius Radicis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), In Red Pine Stands Undergoing Decline, Kenneth F. Raffa, David J. Hall
Seasonal Occurrence Of Pine Root Collar Weevil, Hylobius Radicis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), In Red Pine Stands Undergoing Decline, Kenneth F. Raffa, David J. Hall
The Great Lakes Entomologist
A trapping scheme was devised for sampling the pine root collar weevil, Hylobius radicis, in mature red pine plantations in Wisconsin. Adult weevils were trapped throughout the 1986 field season, and the method appears sensitive enough to discern temporal and spatial trends. The number of weevils caught was higher in stands symptomatic of the general condition currently labelled Red Pine Decline and Mortality. In some stands there was a strong tendency for trap catches to be particularly high near certain trees. Seasonal trends and sex ratios were compared with published reports of H. radicis activity in Michigan.
A Presence-Absence Survey To Monitor Montezuma Quail In Western Texas, Cristela Gonzalez Sanders, Fidel Hernández, Leonard A. Brennan, Andrew N. Tri, Robert Perez
A Presence-Absence Survey To Monitor Montezuma Quail In Western Texas, Cristela Gonzalez Sanders, Fidel Hernández, Leonard A. Brennan, Andrew N. Tri, Robert Perez
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
Developing an effective monitoring program for Montezuma quail (Cyrtonyx montezumae) is challenging because the technique must be practical for surveying vast, remote landscapes while accounting for the species’ low detectability. We used call-back surveys within a presence–absence framework to estimate occupancy and detection probability of Montezuma quail and used this information in conjunction with habitat data to develop an estimated probability of occurrence map for the species. We established survey points at 4 sites in western Texas (n = 20–30 points/site) and conducted 5 repeat surveys/season during June–August 2007 and 2008. We documented abiotic conditions (temperature, time …
Do Movement Patterns And Habitat Use Differ Between Optimal- And Suboptimal-Sized Northern Bobwhite Coveys?, Christopher K. Williams, Roger Applegate, Anthony R. Ives
Do Movement Patterns And Habitat Use Differ Between Optimal- And Suboptimal-Sized Northern Bobwhite Coveys?, Christopher K. Williams, Roger Applegate, Anthony R. Ives
National Quail Symposium Proceedings
The group size of social animals and spatial structure of the environment can affect group behavior and movement decisions. Our objective was to investigate movement patterns and habitat use of northern bobwhite coveys (Colinus virginianus) of different size. Using radiotelemetry, we continuously monitored covey group size, daily movement, and habitat use on 12 independent 259-ha study areas in eastern Kansas, USA, during the winters between 1997 and 2000. We used correlated random walk models and fractal dimension models to determine if covey size affected movement characteristics or habitat selection. Intermediate-sized coveys (9–12 individuals, close to optimal covey size) …
Biology. Ecology, Larval Taxonomy, And Distribution Of Hydropsychidae (Trichoptera) In Wisconsin, Kurt L. Schmude, William L. Hilsenhoff
Biology. Ecology, Larval Taxonomy, And Distribution Of Hydropsychidae (Trichoptera) In Wisconsin, Kurt L. Schmude, William L. Hilsenhoff
The Great Lakes Entomologist
About 43.000 larvae and 1800 adults of Hydropsychidae from Wisconsin were studied. These included Diplectrona modesta, Macrostemum zebratum, Parapsyche apicalis, Potamyia flava, eight species of Ceratopsyche, and 11 species of Hydropsyche, but because their larvae cannot be identified the nine species of Cheumatopsyche known from Wisconsin were not included. Keys were developed to separate larvae of species of Ceratopsyche and Hydropsyche that were collected in Wisconsin or are likely to occur here, and notes are provided to facilitate identification of closely related species. Two forms of Ceratopsyche morosa are distinguished, and the larva of Hydropsyche pIacoda is described. Most …
The Growth And Survival Of Early Instars Of Bellura Obliqua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) On Typha Latifolia And Typha Angustifolia, J. M. Penko, D. C. Pratt
The Growth And Survival Of Early Instars Of Bellura Obliqua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) On Typha Latifolia And Typha Angustifolia, J. M. Penko, D. C. Pratt
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Larvae of the noctuid moth Bellura obliqua are frequently encountered on Typha latifolia, but less commonly on Typha angustifolia. Experiments were conducted to compare the growth and survivorship of early B. obliqua instars on the two species of cattail. In short-term growth chamber experiments there were no significant differences in the survivorship, relative growth rate (RGR), relative consumption rate (RCR), or the efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) between first-instar larvae reared on leaves of the two species. Third-instar larvae fed stems, however, had a greater RGR and higher ECI when reared on T. lalifolia. Differences in growth …
Effects Of Aprons On Pitfall Trap Catches Of Carabid Beetles In Forests And Fields, Marc E. Epstein, Herbert M. Kulman
Effects Of Aprons On Pitfall Trap Catches Of Carabid Beetles In Forests And Fields, Marc E. Epstein, Herbert M. Kulman
The Great Lakes Entomologist
This study compared the efficacy of three types of pitfall traps in four forest and two field habitats. Two traps had aprons and one did not. The two apron traps were the same except for a gap between the trap and the plywood-apron, allowing captures from above or below. Traps were placed in a split-plot design and had three replicates of the three trap types per habitat. The traps were emptied each week from May to September. ANOVA's were performed on 12 trapped species separately over habitats, weeks, and the in- teractions between them. The nonapron trap captured over 40% …
Energetic Cost Of Runnning Stability Evaluated With Wireless Trunk Accelerometry, Kurt H. Schütte, Saint Sackey, Rachel Venter, Benedicte Vanwanseele
Energetic Cost Of Runnning Stability Evaluated With Wireless Trunk Accelerometry, Kurt H. Schütte, Saint Sackey, Rachel Venter, Benedicte Vanwanseele
ISBS Proceedings Archive
The purpose of this study was to determine inter-individual variance in the energetic cost of running (Ec) using dynamic stability measures derived from a single tri-axial trunk accelerometer. These measures were extracted from fifteen male recreational runners at their fastest steady-state treadmill running speed. A select group of dynamic stability measures were entered in a hierarchical regression to explain Ec (kcal.km-1) after reducing dimensionality with factor analysis. Two dynamic stability parameters could explain an additional 9.9% of inter-individual variance in Ec over and above body mass, attributed to anteroposterior (AP) stride regularity (6.5%) and mediolateral (ML) sample entropy (3.4%). Our …
Predatory Insects And Spiders From Suburban Lawns In Lexington, Kentucky, Stephen D. Cockfield, Daniel A. Potter
Predatory Insects And Spiders From Suburban Lawns In Lexington, Kentucky, Stephen D. Cockfield, Daniel A. Potter
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Predatory arthropods were caught in pitfall traps in suburban lawns in Lexington, Kentucky. The relative abundance of species of Lycosidae, Carabidae, and Staphylinidae was compared in Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue turf. Nine species of Lycosidae were collected from both the bluegrass and tall fescue lawns. More species or phena of Carabidae were collected from bluegrass than from tall fescue turf. More than 40 species or phena of staphylinids were collected from each grass habitat. Both Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue are inhabited by an abundant and diverse array of predatory arthropods.
Effect Of A Hay Mulch And Of A Companionate Planting On Cabbage Pest Populations, W. S. Cranshaw
Effect Of A Hay Mulch And Of A Companionate Planting On Cabbage Pest Populations, W. S. Cranshaw
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Cabbage crop environments were modified by either use of a hay mulch or intercrop- ping with "companionate" plants (nasturtium, thyme, and rosemary). A temporary reduction in egg and larval numbers of imported cabbageworm (Artogeia rapae L.) occurred on mulched plots. This effect disappeared later in the season as the plants grew large and coyered the mulch. On some interplanted plots, temporary increases in cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni Hubner) larvae and decreases in imported cabbageworm eggs were noted. Hov.'Cver. on most dates, there was no effect of interplanting on pest populations. The general lack of effects on cabbage insect pests …

Status And Management Of Pyrethroid Resistance In The Predatory Mite, Amblyseius Fallacis (Acarina: Phytoseiidae), B. A. Croft
Status And Management Of Pyrethroid Resistance In The Predatory Mite, Amblyseius Fallacis (Acarina: Phytoseiidae), B. A. Croft
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Low levels of (5-15 fold) resistance to synthetic pyrethroid (SP) insecticides occur in unexposed apple orchard populations of the predatory mite, Amblyseius fallacis Garman. Permethrin resistance in one strain has been elevated 60--500 fold by selections in green- houses. Multiple resistances to DDT and azinphosmethyl are present and cross-resistance to SP-related compounds is generic at 10--250 fold. Permethrin resistance appears due to both hydrolytic esterase and knock down resistance mechanisms. Permethrin resistance appears to be polygenic and more recessive than dominant; it is unstable in the presence of high densities of susceptible immigrant types, but is reasonably stable in the …
Correct Identity Of The Oak Twig Pruner (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), D. C. L. Gosling
Correct Identity Of The Oak Twig Pruner (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), D. C. L. Gosling
The Great Lakes Entomologist
(excerpt)
The oak twig pruner is a cerambycid of minor economic importance which is generally common through most of eastern North America. The adult beetles oviposit on living twigs of oak and other hardwoods, and the larvae bore within the twig, subsequently pruning it from the tree. Haldeman (1847) identified this borer as Elaphidion villosus (Fabricius), a species later placed in the genus Elaphidionoides by Linsley (1963). This identification has been accepted and followed by Baker (1972), Craighead (1923, 1950), Duffy (1960), Knull (1946). Linsley (1963), and many other authors.
Resource Partitioning By Two Species Of Stream Mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae), William O. Lamp, N. Wilson Britt
Resource Partitioning By Two Species Of Stream Mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae), William O. Lamp, N. Wilson Britt
The Great Lakes Entomologist
We compared the phenology of nymph development, food type, and habitat selection of two stream mayflies, Stenacron interpunctatum (Say) and Stenonema pulchellum (Walsh) in Big Darby Creek, Ohio. Both species, which grow principally from autumn through early spring, emerged from the stream throughout the summer. The nymphs consumed the same sizes and types of food particles from deposits on stones, mostly in the form of detritus. As a result of morphological and behavioral adaptations, S. pulchellum lived on stones in swift water whereas S. interpunctatum lived on stones in a slower current.

Incidence And Location Of Eastern Pineshoot Borer Damage In Some Scotch Pine Christmas Tree Plantations In Michigan (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae), M. Mckeague, G. Simmons
Incidence And Location Of Eastern Pineshoot Borer Damage In Some Scotch Pine Christmas Tree Plantations In Michigan (Lepidoptera: Olethreutidae), M. Mckeague, G. Simmons
The Great Lakes Entomologist
A survey of Christmas tree farms in Michigan revealed that 26% of the Scotch pine Christmas trees have one or more shoots injured by the eastern pineshoot borer, Eucosma gloriola Heinrich. Most attacks occurred on lateral branches in the top half of the tree. Only 2% of the observed trees had pineshoot borer injury on the terminal leader. Control except for normal shearing, was not recommended for most plantations.
On The Feeding Habits Of Phasganophora Capitata (Plecoptera: Perlidae), William P. Kovalak
On The Feeding Habits Of Phasganophora Capitata (Plecoptera: Perlidae), William P. Kovalak
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Gut contents of 230 nymphs of Phasganophora Capitata (Pictet) from the Pigeon River, Otsego County, Michigan were analyzed in relation to season, current velocity, time of day, predator size and prey abundance. Diet changed seasonally, related in part to seasonal changes in prey abundance. The diet of large and small nymphs was similar except that small nymphs ate smaller individuals. At lower current velocities capitata fed primarily on mayflies whereas at higher current velocities they fed primarily on caddis and dipterans.
Pre-Management Assessment Of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates In A Small, Sedimentary Drainage Area Of The Maumee And Lake Erie Basin, W. P. Mccafferty
Pre-Management Assessment Of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates In A Small, Sedimentary Drainage Area Of The Maumee And Lake Erie Basin, W. P. Mccafferty
The Great Lakes Entomologist
In order to establish baseline data adjunct to the research and development of soil conservation practices for sediment reduction in the Maumee River and Lake Erie, the aquatic macroinvertebrates of Black Creek and adjacent areas in northeastern Indiana were studied from 1974-1975. A total of 90 species of Insecta and Crustacea were taken, 69 from Black Creek. Species diversity indices ranged from 1.04 to 2.75 in two downstream locations and were generally reflective of stressed conditions related to channelization and sedimentation from the agrarian drainage area. Benthic species from the adjacent Maumee River potentially contribute in part to population maintenance …
An Analysis Of The Shore Beetle Communities Of Some Channelized Streams In Northwest Ohio (Coleoptera), Paul M. Holeski, Robert C. Graves
An Analysis Of The Shore Beetle Communities Of Some Channelized Streams In Northwest Ohio (Coleoptera), Paul M. Holeski, Robert C. Graves
The Great Lakes Entomologist
The present shore beetle communities of some northwest Ohio streams channelized between 1937 and 1973 were studied. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were made to determine the effects of channelization on the community and the results are discussed. Ninety species, chiefly Carabidae, Heteroceridae and Staphylinidae, were collected; at least 20 not previously reported from Ohio. In addition, some species associations are noted.
Observations On The Biology Of The Oak Twig Pruner, Elaphidionoides Parallelus, (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) In Michigan, D. C. L. Gosling
Observations On The Biology Of The Oak Twig Pruner, Elaphidionoides Parallelus, (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) In Michigan, D. C. L. Gosling
The Great Lakes Entomologist
(excerpt)
The oak twig pruner, Elaphidionoides parallelus (Newman) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is rather common in southern Michigan where it attacks living oaks and other hardwoods. The damage it inflicts is rarely serious, but it may be considered a pest insect if only for the nuisance it creates for those who must clean up the often numerous small branches pruned from street, lawn, and park trees.
Intraspecific Variation In Taxonomic Characteristics Of The Mayfly Potamanthus Myops (Walsh), Robert J. Lord, Peter G. Meier
Intraspecific Variation In Taxonomic Characteristics Of The Mayfly Potamanthus Myops (Walsh), Robert J. Lord, Peter G. Meier
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Data collected from an ecological study of the mayfly Potamanthus rnyops (Walsh) in Michigan showed intraspecific variability in taxonomic characteristics that have been employed by previous investigators for species separation. Nymphal dorsal maculation patterns varied considerably within a single population. Also, the ratio of mandibular tusk length to head length increased with successive nymphal instars. Certain adult taxonomic characteristics, particularly relative male imago eye size and distance of separation, were either too poorly defined or too variable to be conclusive in species identification.
