Cytogenetic characteristics of Stenochironomus gibbus (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera, Chironomidae), an obligate miner of submerged wood

The karyotype of Stenochironomus gibbus F. (2n = 8) is described for the first time. Chromosomes: I(AB) > or = II(CD) > or = II(EF) > IV(G). Larvae of this species undermine submerged wood. Low degree of polyteny and poor development of active regions is characteristic of this species polytene chromosome structure, which is probably due to diminished function of salivary glands of the larvae that do not build web shelters.     

Life history ofSmicronyx guineanus andSm. Umbrinus (Col.: Curculionidae) onStriga hermonthica (Scrophulariaceae)

The life history ofSmicronyx guineanus andSm. umbrinus, weevils attackingStriga hermonthica, was studied in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Field experiments were conducted in 1992 and 1993 at Kaya, in fields of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench and pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum (L.) K. Schum. (syn.P. typhoides (Burm.) Stapf &; Hubb). The weevils are univoltine; the adults emerge in late August, mate and eggs are laid in the ovary ofStriga inflorescence. Larval feeding in the ovary causes galling and prevents seed production. The main damage toStriga seed capsule is caused by the larvae of at least twoSmicronyx species. Last-instar larvae drop to the soil and bury themselves to a depth of 1–15 cm, pupate and enter into dormancy. Most pupae are found in the upper 5–10 cm of the soil. The pupal period lasts from late October to late July. In May, we found 75.6% of pupae against 24.4% of adults in dormancy.

Ionizing radiation for quarantine control of Opogona sacchari (Lepidoptera: Tineidae)

A discriminating irradiation dose of 150 gray (Gy) was used to determine the most tolerant immature stages of Opogona sacchari (Bojer) (Lepidoptera: Tineidae). Based on adult emergence, early and late pupae were determined to be the most tolerant stages, and they were significantly more tolerant than eggs, neonate larvae, and larvae that were 1, 2, or 3 wk old. Irradiation treatment of eggs, neonates, 1-wk-old larvae, 2-wk-old larvae, 3-wk-old larvae, early pupae, and late pupae at 150 Gy resulted in a 96, 96, 95, 73, 61, 8, and 9% reduction in adult emergence, respectively. Pupae were treated with irradiation doses between 60 and 400 Gy. Emergence to the adult stage was significantly reduced by irradiation, averaging 90% in experimental controls and 29% in the 400-Gy treatment. Egg production was also reduced by irradiation, although the average age of pupae at the time of irradiation had a larger effect on fecundity. In total, 2,527 pupae treated with 120 Gy eclosed and produced 47,221 eggs and three F1 larvae. In the 150-Gy treatment, 2,927 adults in total emerged from the 4,626 insects treated as pupae. These adults laid 62,878 eggs, none of which hatched. We conclude that a minimum dose of 150 Gy should be sufficient for sterilization of immature O. sacchari infesting export commodities.     

Split-thickness skin grafting of the myelomeningocele defect: a subset at risk for late ulceration

The appropriate method and timing of the management of the myelomeningocele defect have prompted considerable discussion. Use of split-thickness skin grafts acutely has accomplished wound closure with low morbidity and mortality. This study was designed to address the question of long-term suitability of the technique of split-thickness skin grafting of the myelomeningocele patient. The incidence of late and/or severe skin ulceration and the presence of gibbus deformity were correlated with the method of skin closure. Long-term follow-up revealed a higher incidence of chronic skin ulceration in the split-thickness skin graft group as compared with the primary closure group. All skin breakdowns appeared in the presence of a gibbus deformity, and gibbus deformity was more prevalent in the split-thickness skin graft group. The incidence of skin ulceration and gibbus deformity was site-dependent. A thoracic or thoracolumbar myelomeningocele repair with split-thickness skin graft was significantly more likely to be complicated by skin problems than the defect in the lumbar, lumbosacral, or sacral region. This relationship was secondary to the frequency of gibbus deformity in the more cephalad defects than defects caudad. A treatment plan is outlined that is based on the primary variable of the location of the myelomeningocele and secondarily by defect size.     

Life History of Ilybius fenestratus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera,Dytiscidae) in a Central Norwegian Lake

The life history of Ilybius fenestratus was studied in Målsj?en, a lake in S?r-Tr?ndelag, Central Norway (63°14'N, 10°26'E), during 1971–1972. Adults and larvae were sampled in activity traps every week during March–October and every 2–3 weeks during November–February. Newly-emerged adults were generally found from mid-July to September, and after overwintering in torpidity, probably in the water, they again appeared in the second half of June to August/September. Laying of eggs took place from early/mid July to early August. Larvae occurred in the traps from late July to early May. I. fenestratus was thus found to be a semivoltine summer breeder, with overwintering larvae the first winter and overwintering adults the next. Both adults and larvae lived in large areas of the lake's littoral zone.     

Notes on the biology and ecology of the parasitoids of the poplar clearwing moth, Paranthrene tabaniformis (Rott.) (Lep., Sesiidae) in Bulgaria. II. Eriborus terebrans (Gravenhorst, 1826) (Hym., Ichneumonidae)

The biology and ecology of Eriborus terebrans (Grav.), a parasitoid of the poplar clearwing moth, Paranthrene tabaniformis (Rott.), were studied during the period 1987–98. One-year-old poplar ( Populus spp.) shoots infested with P. tabaniformis larvae were collected from poplar seedlings at 11 localities in Bulgaria and examined in both field and laboratory conditions. Eriborus terebrans was recorded in seven localities as a solitary internal larval parasitoid of P. tabaniformis which developed two generations in early and mid-stage host larvae. Eriborus terebrans overwintered as a larva in P. tabaniformis overwintering larvae. In the field adult parasitoids of the overwintering generation appeared between late April/early May, and June or July. The peak activity of E. terebrans adults only coincided with the beginning of host emergence, which resulted in low levels of parasitism, being no more than 6.2%. Parasitoid adults of the summer generation appeared in late June–mid August. In this period enough larvae of the host were suitable for attacking and parasitism reached 24.4–39% in some cases. The average mortality of P. tabaniformis overwintering larvae caused by this parasitoid in Bulgaria during the period of the study was 4.7%. A significant part of the parasitized P. tabaniformis larvae constructed tunnel structures of frass and silk threads over the external openings of the galleries. It is possible that these structures protect the parasitoid cocoons from natural enemies – hyperparasitoids and predators.     

Wind distribution of the egg masses of Chironomus anthracinus (Zetterstedt) (Diptera: Chironomidae) in a shallow, wind-exposed lake (Loch Leven, Kinross)

A mass emergence of Chironomus anthracinus (Zetterstedt) took place at Loch Leven, Kinross, in late May and early June 1971, leading to a large concentration of egg masses. The distribution of egg masses within the lake was determined on 6 June 1971 and the accumulation of egg masses along wind-exposed shores, under the influence of a 17–23 km h^?1 wind, was noted. Oviposition site selection by the weak flying adults appears to have little importance upon the final distribution of larvae within the lake. Temporary planktonic activity of first instar larvae under the influence of wind-induced water currents is briefly discussed as a dispersal mechanism in the light of observed egg mass accumulation in the lake.     

Effects of dietary variation on growth,composition, and maturation of Manduca sexta (Sphingidae: Lepidoptera)

Most studies linking dietary variation with insect fitness focus on a single dietary component and late larval growth. We examined the effects of variation in multiple dietary factors over most life stages of the sphingid moth, Manduca sexta. Larvae received artificial diets in which protein, sucrose, and water content were varied. The relationship between larval size, growth and consumption rates differed significantly across diets. Larvae on control and low-sucrose diets grew most rapidly and attained the largest pupal and adult sizes. Conversely, larvae on low-water and low-protein diets initially grew slowly, but accelerated in the fifth instar and became pupae and adults comparable to control animals in size. There were no fundamental differences in protein:carbohydrate consumption patterns or strategies among experimental diets and larval instars. However, inadequate dietary water appeared to be more important for early than late instar larvae. Larvae on all artificial diets showed increasing fat content throughout all stages, including wandering and metamorphosis. Compensatory feeding among low-water and low-protein larvae was correlated with significantly higher fat content in larvae, pupae and adults, whereas low-sucrose animals were substantially leaner than those on the control diet. These differences may have strong effects on adult physiology, reproduction, and foraging patterns.     

Maintenance of the phenology of the winter moth (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

Adult winter moths ( Operophtera brumata (L.)) are active in late autumn or early winter. The eggs overwinter in the canopy of trees and hatch simultaneously with the bursting of host tree buds. Many young larvae disperse on the wind on silk strands. Larvae are polyphagus and feed until late spring when they pupate in soil or leaf litter. The duration of the egg and pupal stages is genetically determined and varies with latitude. The egg stage is long in the north and short in the south, while the pupal stage is short in the north and long in the south.
The literature on the ecology and physiology of winter moth is reviewed. The factors maintaining the unusual phenology are discussed. It is concluded that the larval stage is early because mature leaves of many host trees are unsuitable as food, because parasitism against later larvae is more intense, and because summer temperatures may be injurious to larvae. The adult period is late in the year so that the final stages of pupal development occur in cool conditions and so that adults emerge after most insect predators have ceased activity. Throughout most of the range retarding the adult emergence period would cause activity to be impeded by severe winter weather; in the south this is not so and it is suggested that eggs must be on the trees for a minimum period to ensure synchronization of egg hatch with bud burst. The protracted adult emergence period may be an adaptation reducing predation by birds.
