    Notes: [Auszug] DURING the nineteenth century, the discovery and study of 'lost civilizations' gave great impetus to the development of archaeology. The surviving traces of such civilizations - whether in the Mycenaean and Minoan palaces of the Aegean, the frontier defences of the Roman Empire, the pyramids of the ...

    Pesticide-induced mite outbreaks: pyrethroids and spider mites (1988)
    Springer
    Experimental and applied acarology 4 (1988), S. 265-276

    Notes: Abstract Factors inducing outbreaks of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) following use of pyrethroid insecticides are reviewed. Differentials in direct toxicity between spider mites and phytoseiid (Acari: Phytoseiidae) predators provide one explanation. Wide variation exists between pyrethroids in their direct toxicity toTetranychus urticae. The acaricidal action of pyrethroids is largely controlled by the amount of irritancy or repellency induced by the respective chemicals. Laboratory assays for repellency reflect field results. Repellent activity induces spider-mite dispersal to either recolonise plants free of residues or leave the treated habitat. Pyrethroids may also affect reproduction and development rates. Residual activity is likely to vary, so limiting any general theory of spider-mite responses to pyrethroids. Variable responses to pyrethroids, strain variation and development of behavioural resistance also add complications to understanding outbreaks. Future research needs are identified.

    Notes: Abstract The host-selection behavior of three species of grasshopper feeding on creosote bush,Larrea tridentata, in southern California was investigated. The species wereBootettix argentatus, which is monophagous;Ligurotettix coquilletti, oligophagous; andCibolacris parviceps, polyphagous. The monophagous species is stimulated to bite by nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a compound that is characteristic of the host plant and that may comprise up to 10% of the dry weight of the leaf. Host specificity ofB. argentatus is enhanced by deterrent responses to compounds present in the surface waxes of all non-host-plant species. Both the oligophagous and polyphagous species are deterred by NDGA at naturally occurring concentrations. Their association withLarrea is probably based on tolerance of the plant chemicals rather than on dependence on specific chemicals. Factors other than the chemistry of the plant probably also contribute to the specificity ofB. argentatus andL. coquilletti.
