Tospovirus transmission depends on thrips ontogeny.
The acquisition of tospoviruses by thrips vectors is restricted to a well defined time period during the first and early second larval stages, when there is a temporary association between mid-gut,… Expand

First Detection of Wolbachia in Arrhenotokous Populations of Thrips Species (Thysanoptera: Thripidae and Phlaeothripidae) and Its Role in Reproduction
Abstract Insects in the order Thysanoptera are known for their haplodiploid reproduction, with most species reproducing by arrhenotoky. A few species, however, have only female populations and… Expand

Life‐cycle variation, including female production by virgin females in Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
The influence of three different temperatures on developmental time and sex ratio was investigated in the bisexual Thysanoptera species Frankliniella occidentalis. Increasing temperatures decreased… Expand

Male reproductive system and spermatogenesis of Limodromus assimilis (Paykull 1790)
Based on advanced light and electron microscopy, we describe the male reproductive system and sperm development of Limodromus assimilis. The genital tract consists of pairs of uni-follicular testes,… Expand

Invasion and development of Verticillium lecanii in the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis
Conidia of Verticillium lecanii, coated with mucilage, adhered to all surfaces of the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). Mucilage continued to be secreted during germination and was… Expand

Fitness costs and life table parameters of highly insecticide-resistant strains of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) at different temperatures.
BACKGROUND In many cases, resistance alleles have been associated with fitness costs and are often dependent on environmental factors such as temperature. Here, we studied the effects of temperature… Expand

Male Pheromones Influence the Mating Behavior of Echinothrips americanus
Two dibasic esters, the dimethyl ester of hexanedioic acid (dimethyl adipate, DBE-6) and the dimethyl ester of pentanedioic acid (dimethyl glutarate, DBE-5) were found in head-thorax extracts of male… Expand
