Assessment of black vine weevil larval damage to cranberries and development of alternative control strategies

Creator:: Miller, Elizabeth A. (Elizabeth Ann)
Abstract:: Black vine weevil (BVW), Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fabricius, is a serious pest in cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon. Larvae feeding below the soil surface cause damage to the roots and underground stems. Knowledge is sparse in regard to the damage potential of BVW in Pacific Northwest cranberry beds. Control with insecticides is limited...

A revision of the genus Notiphila Fallén (Diptera:Ephydridae) from America north of Mexico

Creator:: Mathis, Wayne N.
Abstract:: The North American species of the shore fly genus Notiphila Fallen were taxonomically revised. Over 13,000 specimens were examined from throughout the Nearctic Region and information relating to the biology of many species occurring in the West was gathered from both field and laboratory studies. Previously used characters were reevaluated;...

The effect of competition on the population dynamics of the Douglas-fir beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopk., in Oregon

Creator:: Schmitz, Richard Franklin
Abstract:: The effect of competition on the brood survival of the Douglas fir beetle Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, in down or windthrown Douglas-fir Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco was studied in the field and the laboratory. The investigation of the role of competition in the population dynamics of the beetle had four objectives:...

Environmental biology of Endria inimica (Say) (Homoptera:Homoptera:Cicadellidae)

Creator:: Gustin, Ralph Donald
Abstract:: The leafhopper vector, Endria inimica (Say), of wheat striate mosaic virus is a bivoltine insect which overwinters as second generation eggs in a state of diapause. Under experimental conditions, egg diapause resulted from rearing females under short days (12L:12D) and diapause was averted by rearing females under long days (15L:9D)....

Resource Type:: Dissertation

Host selection, reproductive biology, host-specific development and mortality of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Torticidae), in apple and pear

Creator:: Marti, Santiago Marti
Abstract:: The biology and behavior of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), was studied to determine factors responsible for differences in susceptibility to moth damage among apple and pear cultivars. In release experiments, codling moth adults were intercepted in significantly greater numbers in host (apple, pear) than in non-host (maple) trees,...

A study of relationships of four insects to heating in stored grain

Creator:: Eighme, Lloyd Elwyn
Abstract:: This study was conducted to determine the effects of insect infestation on areas of heating in stored grain, and to demonstrate the ability of four species of insects to initiate or promote the spread of these heating areas. The four insects used were the granary weevil Sitophilus granarius (L.), the...

Evaluating benthic macroinvertebrates as bio-indicators of freshwater habitat quality in an eastern Oregon agro-ecosystem

Creator:: Scherr, Melissa A.
Abstract:: The effect of anthropogenic disturbance on river systems is gaining attention, and concerns about the state of freshwater natural resources are increasing globally, as are efforts to restore habitat that has been degraded by disturbance. In rivers, non-point source pollution affects the physical characteristics of the habitat and the endemic...
