ABSTRACT
The Southeast Asian citrus-feeding butterfly Princeps (Papilio) demoleus (L.) was recently introduced into the Americas, causing an imminent threat to citrus production and ornamental flora. The human nutrient amino acid methionine has been shown by us to disrupt aminoacid-modulated ion transport systems in caterpillars and other insect larvae that possess an alkaline midgut. Heraclides (Papilio) cresphontes was bioassayed as a United States Department of Agriculture permitted…

The results indicate that these parasitoid wasp species have different population responses to toxic insult, and suggest that the ability to predict the fate of a suite of species using the response of just one species is widely variable and potentially misleading.

This divergence time suggests that Papilio has slower apparent substitution rates than do Drosophila and fig-pollinating wasps and/or divergences corrected using best-fit substitution models are still being consistently underestimated.

In order to make experimental studies comparable and statistically meaningful, the article recommends the following formula: per cent control = 100(X - Y)/X, which eliminates errors due to deaths in the control sample which were not due to the insecticide.

A unique model for understanding the molecular mechanisms, physiology, and evolution of amino acid and neurotransmitter transport systems is provided and it is implied that monoamine and GABA transporters evolved by selection and conservation of earlier neuronal NATs.
