Raoiella indica Hirst (Acari: tenuipalpidae), commonly known as the red palm mite (RPM), is an invasive polyphagous pest, which has emerged a threat to agriculture in Americas. In Americas, not only spread quickly, but also greatly extended its host range new areas where it been observed. We present here records of RPM Brazilian states, with focus on arrival into most threatened area, Northeast Region. Coconut and banana are important crops this region Brazil represent main by pest. These...
Parasitoids naturally attacking stink bug (Hemiptera: Coreidae and Pentatomidae) eggs interactions with their hosts were recorded on soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merril; Fabales: Fabaceae) cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp.; host plants in Brazil. Egg masses of bugs collected from plant structures observed daily until emergence either parasitoids or bugs. Stink parasitized by 8 species egg parasitoids: Trissolcus urichi Crawford, teretis Johnson, bodkini Telenomus podisi Ashmead, Phanuropsis...
Effective management of arthropod communities in agricultural environments requires knowledge the diversity and distribution species that inhabit host crops. Therefore, we conducted this study to evaluate richness, abundance, intra-plant most abundant mite mango plants. Leaves or reproductive structures were collected monthly considering different canopy quadrants (North, South, East, West), position branch (basal, median, apical), and, case leaves, their on apical). A total 28 belonging 12...
Abstract Damage by herbivores often modifies plant structure and physiology, which may change the behaviour performance of future herbivores. Here, we studied such interactions among major coconut pest, mite Aceria guerreronis (Acari: Eriophyidae), two minor pests, Steneotarsonemus concavuscutum Tarsonemidae) moth Atheloca bondari (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). All these species develop in meristematic zone coconuts, is difficult to access because small opening between epicarp perianth. Both...
<title>Abstract</title> Direct and indirect ecological interactions, environmental factors, the phenology of host plants can shape way mites interact. These relationships interfere with species occurrence consequently alter structure stability intraplant community. We evaluated associations between mite mango trees using a complex network approach. Additionally, we observed correlation population density plant phenological stage. Environmental variables, such as average monthly temperature,...
Abstract Because plant phenotypes can change in response to attacks by herbivores highly variable ways, the distribution of depends on occurrence other herbivore species same plant. We carried out a field study evaluate co-occurrence three coconut pests, mites Aceria guerreronis (Acari: Eriophyidae), Steneotarsonemus concavuscutum Tarsonemidae) and moth Atheloca bondari (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). The eriophyid mite Ac. is most important pest around world, whereas S. At. are economically only...
