Herbivore movement and spatial population dynamics in a heterogeneous landscape
… examine how the movement and distribution of the planthopper Prokelisia crocea within and among host-plant patches (prairie cordgrass, Spartina pectinata) is affected by the composition of the matrix (the invasive grass smooth brome [Bromus inermis], native non-host grasses, or mudflat). First, …

Identifying dryinidae (hymenoptera) - auchenorrhyncha (hemiptera) host associations using phylogenetics
… associations, adding Eurybrachidae as a host planthopper family. The resulting phylogeny provided good resolution at the subfamily level, except in Anteoninae, which was divided in two non-contiguous clades. Host attached larvae formed part of at least four subfamilies, an unidentified lineage …

Exploring Chemically Mediated Interactions Between Spotted Lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, and Its Host Plants in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the United States
… Fulgoridae), is a polyphagous phloem feeding planthopper introduced to the United States in 2014. Now established in 19 states, its aggregations, persistent feeding, and honeydew threaten specialty crops, especially wine grapes. Management often relies on insecticides and removal of …

BUILDING FRAMEWORKS FOR UNDERSTANDING INVASIONS AND EXTINCTIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY SCIENCE
… regional U.S. grape pest, the spotted lanternfly planthopper (Lycorma delicatula; SLF), to spread and disrupt the global wine market. I found that SLF invasion potentials are aligned globally because important viticultural regions with suitable environments for SLF also heavily trade with invaded …

Ecological Community Changes and Ecosystem Functioning During Structured Wetland Development
… Campiglossa plantaginis, and the invasive planthopper, Prokelisia marginata. C. plantaginis was positively correlated with the abundance of colonising Aster tripolium, and P. marginata had a positive relationship with colonising Spartina anglica. It is likely that soil compaction, partly …

Characteristics of biological control agents and their antagonism against rice pathogens and pests
… nematodes, bacterial leaf blight, and brown planthopper. Currently, pesticide use is the dominant practice for pest and disease management in Asian rice farming. The use of beneficial microbial agents for the control of pathogens and pests is a potential tool to sustain rice productivity and …

Biogeography and phylogenetics of grassland auchenorrhyncha
… Deltocephalinae leafhoppers and a subfamily of planthoppers (Caliscelinae) and compared these data to biogeographic patterns observed in other grassland restricted lineages. In order to correctly infer biogeographic patterns, accurate phylogenies of each lineage are required. Using molecular …
