Crop and Prairie Grasses Serving as Hosts for the Hessian Fly
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Insect herbivores typically parasitize a relatively small number of plant species. Host specialization is presumed to be a result of evolutionary arms races, with insect adaptations ultimately restricting host range. Being ... -
Oviposition Preference and Larval Host Range of the Sugarbeet Root Maggot
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The sugarbeet root maggot, Tetanops myopaeformis Röder, is native to North America; however, its main crop host, sugarbeet, Beta vulgaris L., was introduced to the continent from Europe. This study involved an investigation ... -
Conspectus of Aeptini Stål, 1871 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae)
(North Dakota State University, 2017)The Pentatominae tribe Aeptini is revised. A key to the known genera is provided, together with redescription and figures. The genus Paramenestheus is revised, including a key to the species and figures to all the included ... -
Pest Management of Wheat Stem Sawfly, Cephus Cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), in Western North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton, is regarded as a major pest of dryland wheat in the Upper Great Plains. For peak emergence of wheat stem sawfly, the most accurate base was 0 C using air temperature, and then ... -
Density and Movement of Soybean Aphid, Aphis Glycines (Hemiptra: Aphididae) in Response to Temperature and Resistant Soybean Plants
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Movement is one way herbivores respond to their host plant, yet the movement of relatively immobile insects has received little attention. We studied how the movement and density of apterous soybean aphids responds to a ... -
Behaviors Mediate Aphid Interactions with Natural Enemies and the Environment
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Behavior is a crucial component of ecology that mediates how animals interact with one another and with the environment. Behaviors can allow animals to avoid the harmful effects of things like competition, predation, and ... -
IfSAR DTM-derived Predictive Flood Models: A Cost-effective Approach to Target Site- Specific Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) Control Efforts
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The study area is the 400 km2 floodplain and wetlands of the upper Missouri River, located in the northwestern corner of North Dakota, near the community of Williston. Regional climate is semiarid, yet the Williston vector ...
