Oviposition Preference and Larval Performance of a Rare Bud-Galling Sawfly (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) on Willow in Northern Arizona (2004)

Sharon M. Ferrier, Peter W. Price

Oviposition preference was examined in relation to offspring performance in a bud gall-forming sawfly, Euura sp., which attacks the Scouler or fire willow, Salix scouleriana (Barratt). The only known...

Distribution of the spittlebug Deois flavopicta Stal (Homoptera: Cercopidae) on wild and cultivated host species (2000)

Pires,Carmen S. S., Price,Peter W., Oliveira,Regina C. De

Eleven species of native or naturalized grasses were found hosting spittlebug nymphs in the natural grassland areas around Brasília in the Fe-deral District of Brazil. A large number of nymphs were...

Response of the galling insect Aciurina trixa Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae) to host plant quality (2000)

Fernandes,Geraldo W., Price,Peter W., Gonçalves-Alvim,Silmary J., Craig,Timoty P., Yanega,Douglas

Female host plant selection, oviposition behavior, and offspring performance of the gall-forming tephritid Aciurina trixa Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae) on NPK-fertilized and control plants of...

Feeding Behavior of the Spittlebug Deois flavopicta (Homoptera: Cercopidae) on Wild and Cultivated Host Plants (2000)

Peter W. Price, Edison R. Sujii, Cristiane Avelar

We studied the movement and feeding behavior of nymphs of the grass feeding spittlebug Deois flavopicta Stål to evaluate the role of host plant species on the spatial distribution of the nymphs. The...

Oviposition Preference and Larval Performance of the Western Spruce Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) (2000)

Kathryn J. Leyva, Karen M. Clancy, Peter W. Price

Many preference and performance studies have been done on latent species of insect herbivores, but few studies have examined whether eruptive species exhibit preferences for oviposition sites that...

Patterns of Host Plant Growth and Attack and Establishment of Gall-Inducing Wasp (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) (2000)

Peter W. Price

We examined the effect of shoot size distribution within plants and different stage of host plant development on the pattern of attack of Andricus sp. on gambel oak, Quercus gambelli Nuttall. The...

Host-driven population dynamics in an herbivorous insect

Ylioja, Tiina, Roininen, Heikki, Ayres, Matthew P., Rousi, Matti, Price, Peter W.

Understanding the nature and relative importance of endogenous (density-dependent) and exogenous (density-independent) effects on population dynamics remains a central problem in ecology. Evaluation...
