Abstract The diversity and abundance of native invertebrates is declining globally, which could have significant consequences for ecosystem functioning. Declines are likely to be at least as severe those observed vertebrates, although often difficult quantify due a lack historic baseline data limited monitoring effort. Lepidoptera well studied in Australia compared with other invertebrates, so we know that some species imperilled or declining. Despite this, few butterfly taxa explicitly...
The butterflies known from the Mt Etna area, Sicily are analysed. Eighty-four species here recorded within boundaries of mountain. A checklist is provided. Species data 176 locations across mountain tabled and mapped for 84 species. Of recorded, 72 considered resident, with 12 to be likely vagrants analyses showed that locations, only 28 were western half This may explain why 18 more common Sicilian butterfly not side did indicate Melanargia russiae (Esper, [1781]), Chazara briseis...
Abstract A new culture method for lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), was developed to provide large numbers of adult mealworms approximately the same age insecticide resistance testing. Culturing entailed allowing 100 adults reproduce 4 days in a wheat‐based medium contained inside plastic box, removing from medium, and then rearing their progeny adulthood therein, 56 at 32°C 55% RH. During development, were supplied water via apple slices 0, 21 35 days, foam substrate which...
Traditionally in Australia, regular applications of insecticide to the floors and lower walls broiler houses after cleanout periods have been used an attempt control lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer). The Australian chicken meat industry has concerned recent years with failure A. its by using this method large beetle populations breaching farm biosecurity. Resistance fenitrothion was suspected be responsible for these failures. In response, beetles from 13 poultry facilities...

Resistance to cyfluthrin in broiler farm populations of lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), eastern Australia was suspected have contributed recent control failures. In 2000-2001, beetles from 11 farms were tested for resistance by comparing them an insecticide-susceptible reference population using topical application. detected almost all beetle (up 22 times the susceptible at LC50), especially southeastern Queensland where more applications had...
Beauveria bassiana is naturally found in broiler chicken houses, and has been shown to be active against the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus. The effectiveness of soil application B. emulsifiable oil-type formulation (Unioeste 4 isolate) control mealworm commercial poultry house was evaluated. fungus applied dirt floor at 4.2 × 109 conidia/m2 (treated aviary) insect population assessed before 96, 146 216 days after (DAA). In aviary, no treatment performed those insects. Molecular...

The effect of spinosad exposure on the susceptibility pyrethroid- and organophosphate-resistant populations lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), to insecticides was investigated in broiler house farm laboratory studies. A field population showed a 3.6-fold increase gamma-cyhalothrin following treatment. Overall, cyfluthrin- fenitrothion-resistant were more susceptible these treatments, but that not resistant no change In related study, three beetle...

γ-Cyhalothrin was proposed as an agent for management of lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), in Australian broiler houses. From 2007 to 2009, baseline susceptibility 20 farm beetle populations plus insecticide-susceptible laboratory population determined γ-cyhalothrin by using topical application. In addition, repeat testing and regression analyses specific showed that application a very reliable repeatable method. The 21 were tested with cyfluthrin...

Distributions of lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), in litter a compacted earth floor broiler house southeastern Queensland, Australia, were studied over two flocks. Larvae the predominant stage recorded. Significantly low densities occurred open locations and under drinker cups where chickens had complete access, whereas high found feed pans along edges chicken access was restricted. For each flock, mealworm numbers increased at all first 14 d,...

Abstract Introductions of Encarsia dispersa Polaszek (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) for the biological control spiralling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus Russell (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), were made directly onto Thursday Island, Torres Strait Queensland, in May 1994. Its efficacy was monitored intermittently 7 years on 10 Acalypha wilkesiana Müll. Arg. (Euphorbiaceae) and two Terminalia catappa L. (Combretaceae) plants. Marked declines whitefly densities recorded all hosts approximately months...
Factors that influence the localized abundance and distribution of lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer), in litter two compacted earth-floor broiler houses subtropical Australia were studied using various experimental manipulations. Numbers mealworms substantially increased inside caged areas under uncaged empty feed pans placed open houses. These populations found to be independent chicken-feed, manure, high beetle normally occur existing pans. Substantial horizontal movement...
A provisional host list for spiraling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus , in Australia is presented. total of 104 plant species from 41 families recorded Torres Strait and Cape York Peninsula south to Weipa, Queensland. Just under half these are the Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Malvaceae Solanaceae. Agricultural most at risk attack by A. solanaceous vegetable crops grown dry tropics.
Abstract Euploea alcathoe (Godart, [1819]) (Danainae: Danaini) comprises a taxonomic complex, with recent authors recognising one or two species and numerous subspecies throughout its relatively small geographical range. We determined the status of populations from northern Australia by integrating data ecology, larval colour pattern morphology, adult morphology (wing morphometrics, wing elements male genitalia) molecules (mtDNA). also investigated broad distribution phenotypes based on...
