Molecular Identification of Two Closely Related Species of Mealybugs of the Genus Planococcus (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) (2008)

A. Rung, S. J. Scheffer, G. Evans, D. Miller

Morphological identification of the mealybug species Planococcus citri (Risso) and P. minor (Maskell), two serious agricultural pests, is often complicated by the existence of intermediate forms and...

Molecular phylogenetics and the evolution of host plant associations in the nematode genus Fergusobia (Tylenchida : Fergusobiinae) (2007)

Ye, Weimin, Giblin-Davis, Robin M., Davies, Kerrie Ann, Purcell, Matthew Francis, Scheffer, S. J., Taylor, Gary Stewart, ...

Fergusobia nematodes (Tylenchida: Fergusobiinae) and Fergusonina flies (Diptera: Fergusoninidae) are putative mutualists that develop together in galls formed in meristematic tissues of many species...

Phylogenetic Relationships, Species Limits, and Host Specificity of Gall-Forming Fergusonina Flies (Diptera: Fergusoninidae) Feeding on Melaleuca (Myrtaceae) (2004)

S. J. Scheffer, G. S. Taylor, K. A. Davies, M. Purcell, M. L. Lewis, ...

Phylogenetic analysis of recently described gall-forming Fergusonina Malloch flies was performed using DNA sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene. Fifty-three flies reared...

Giblin-Davis, R. M., Center, B. J., Davies, Kerrie Ann, Purcell, M., Scheffer, S. J., Taylor, Gary Stewart, ...

The putative mutualism between different host-specific Fergusobia nematodes and Fergusonina flies is manifested in a variety of gall types involving shoot or inflorescence buds, individual flower...

Fergusobia/Fergusonina-induced shoot bud gall development on Melaleuca quinquenervia (2001)

Giblin-Davis, R. M., Makinson, J., Center, B. J., Davies, Kerrie Ann, Purcell, M., Taylor, Gary Stewart, ...

Fergusobia nematodes and Fergusonina flies are mutualists that cause a variety of gall types on myrtaceous plant buds and young leaves. The biology of an isolate of the gall complex was studied in...
