Aphis Spiraecola
''Aphis spiraecola'' is a species of aphid described in 1914 by Edith Marion Patch. Its common names include green citrus aphid, Spirea aphid, and apple aphid. It is distributed worldwide, and is most abundant in the United States. It has a diploid chromosome number of 2n=8. Discovery This species was first discovered by Edith Marion Patch in 1914. Patch discovered that '' A. pomi'' would feed and develop on ''Spiraea'' and ''A. spiraecola'' would feed and develop on ''Malus'' which confirmed that aphids were a highly variable species. Patch’s colonies on apple were decimated by a fungus so all transfer attempts to secondary hosts, which would have demonstrated the limited host range of ''A. pomi'', were made using ''A. spiraecola'' from ''Spiraea'' instead. Later she suggested using the names ''A. pomi'' and ''A. spiraecola'' on the basis of the plants on which they were found thus leading to the names each species is known by today. Another species, ''A. citricola'' was de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
