Influence of abiotic and biotic factors on developmental parameters of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Creator:: Tochen, Samantha
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), a pest of thin-skinned fruits, has been detected worldwide recently, with new locations of establishment determined annually since it first became a concern on continental North America in 2008. Drosophila suzukii females are different from most other drosophilids as being one of two known species capable...

Developing Trap and Kill Technologies to Improve Management of the Western Spotted Cucumber Beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata undecimpunctata) and the Western Striped Cucumber Beetle (Acalymma trivittatum)

Creator:: Alderman, Katie
Abstract:: The western spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata undecimpunctata) and the western striped cucumber beetle (Acalymma trivittatum) are pests of many crops, including vegetable, fruit, and nursery crops. Pesticides are commonly used to control this pest. Trap and kill technologies are under development as use in an alternative control for cucumber...

Survey of rhizosphere associated entomopathogenic fungi on small fruits and Christmas trees in the Willamette Valley, OR

Creator:: Fisher, Joanna J.
Abstract:: The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana are commercially available as microbial control agents for the black vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the key root-feeding insect pest in Pacific Northwest small fruits and ornamentals. Understanding habitat selection is critical to improve the efficacy, persistence and cost of...

Physiological effects of non-nutritive sugars on the survivorship and fecundity of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Creator:: Tang, Siew Bee
Abstract:: Spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, is an economically damaging pest on small fruits. The estimated economic impact is hundreds of millions of dollars annually in the U.S. alone, and increasing every year. Current control of SWD relies heavily on chemical insecticides which have many negative impacts on environmental and...

Colony Level Infection of Honey Bee Gut Pathogen, Nosema ceranae and Role of Pollen Nutrition in Nosema ceranae Infection and Bee Survival

Creator:: Jack, Cameron
Abstract:: Honey bees are important pollinators for many agricultural systems throughout the world. However, recent honey bee declines have caused great alarm, drawing attention to the vulnerability of worldwide agriculture to pollinator loss. These declines are often attributed to a combination of pests, pathogens, viruses, chemicals, and a lack of proper...

Comparison of baits for monitoring the spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii

Creator:: Kleiber, Joseph R.
Abstract:: Spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a pest of small and stone fruits that is widely distributed across much of the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Unlike other members of the Drosophilidae that only lay eggs in overripe or rotting fruit, SWD infest ripening and ripe...

Evaluating the Potential of Protein Supplements and Probiotics for Improving Honey Bee Health and Understanding Honey Bee Behaviors Related to Social Immunity

Creator:: Chapkin, Elissa R.
Abstract:: Managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) play a vital role in pollinating cultivated crops worldwide. Honey bee colony declines reported in the past two decades have been associated with stressors such as pests and diseases, pesticide exposure, and poor nutrition. In the wake of these colony declines, beekeepers have strived to...

Exploring the biology and monitoring techniques of two economically impactful Chrysobothris species in Oregon hazelnuts

Creator:: Rudolph, Erica
Abstract:: Chrysobothris mali Horn and C. femorata Olivier (Coleoptera : Buprestidae) are two flatheaded wood boring beetle species that have become economically impactful pests in North American high value tree cropping systems. Both species are native to North America, with C. femorata occurring across the continent (Wellso and Manley 2007), whereas...

Marking, movement, and management of Drosophila suzukii in Oregon berry crops

Creator:: Klick, Jimmy
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) are small invasive flies that in the past five years (2009-2014) invaded berry and stone fruit production regions in Europe and the Americas. Evolutionary adaptations, biological traits, and anthropogenic factors have contributed to its current status as a global pest. Females oviposit eggs into ripe...

Enhancing pest mite biological control by Typhlodromus pyri (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Pacific Northwest vineyards

Creator:: Gadino, Angela Noelle
Abstract:: The predatory mite Typhlodromus pyri (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is the predominant species in cool climate Pacific Northwest vineyards and a principal predator of pest mites including the grapevine rust mite Calepitrimerus vitis (Acari: Eriophyidae). In recent years vineyards have been experiencing C. vitis population outbreaks leading to increased economic damage from...
