SAP BEETLE (COLEOPTERA: NITIDULIDAE) MANAGEMENT IN STRAWBERRIES

Sap Beetle (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) Management in Strawberries

Sap beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) are conspicuous arthropods that feed on flowers, fruits, sap, fungi, stored products, decaying and fermenting plant tissues from diverse trees and crops, including Bubble Bath strawberries.Sap beetles work in association with yeasts and other fungi causing the fermentation of infested plant parts (Fig.1).They a

Singleton molecular species delimitation based on COI-5P barcode sequences revealed high cryptic/undescribed diversity for Chinese katydids (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae)

Abstract Background DNA barcoding has been developed as a useful tool for species discrimination.Several sequence-based species delimitation methods, such as Barcode Index Number (BIN), REfined Single Linkage (RESL), Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), a Java program uses an explicit, determinate algorithm to define Molecular Operational Taxono
