Protein intake by gypsy moth larvae on homogeneous and heterogeneous diets
Food selection behaviour, food utilization efficiency and growth performance of a generalist insect, the gypsy moth (Lyrnantria dispar (L.), Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), were examined with respect to variation in food nitrogen concentration. The results suggest that gypsy moth do not suffer physiologically and in fact -may benefit from intraplant variation by selective feeding. When provided wit...
متن کاملEntomopathogenic Hyphomycetes Associated with Gypsy Moth Larvae
Gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, populations were sampled in four eastern North American states during 1991 and 1992 to evaluate levels of hyphomycete infection in association with releases of the Asian gypsy moth pathogen Entomophaga maimaiga. Paecilomyces farinosus was the most abundant hyphomycete species, occurring at the majority of sites, although levels of infection averaged only 4.6% (1991...
متن کاملEffects of the ant Formica fusca on the transmission of microsporidia infecting gypsy moth larvae
Transmission plays an integral part in the intimate relationship between a host insect and its pathogen that can be altered by abiotic or biotic factors. The latter include other pathogens, parasitoids, or predators. Ants are important species in food webs that act on various levels in a community structure. Their social behavior allows them to prey on and transport larger prey, or they can dis...
متن کاملEffects of elevated CO2 leaf diets on gypsy moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) respiration rates.
Elevated levels of CO2 affect plant growth and leaf chemistry, which in turn can alter host plant suitability for insect herbivores. We examined the suitability of foliage from trees grown from seedlings since 1997 at Aspen FACE as diet for the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae: paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marshall) in 2004-2005, and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloi...
متن کاملNeurophysiological and Behavioral Responses of Gypsy Moth Larvae to Insect Repellents: DEET, IR3535, and Picaridin
The interactions between insect repellents and the olfactory system have been widely studied, however relatively little is known about the effects of repellents on the gustatory system of insects. In this study, we show that the gustatory receptor neuron (GRN) located in the medial styloconic sensilla on the maxillary palps of gypsy moth larvae, and known to be sensitive to feeding deterrents, ...
