Tubulifera (slime Mold)
Phlaeothripidae is a family of thrips with hundreds of genera. They are the only extant family of the suborder Tubulifera, alongside the extinct family Rohrthripidae and are themselves ordered into two subfamilies, the Idolothripinae with 80 genera, and the Phlaeothripinae with almost 400. Some 3,400 species are recognised in this family, and many are fungivores living in the tropics.Moritz, G., D. Morris, and L. Mound. 2001. ThripsID: pest thrips of the world. ACIAR and CSIRO Publishing, Collingwood. Thrips from this family are fairly common, and are generally larger than those in the suborder Terebrantia (containing all other thrips). ''Idolothrips marginatus'' can attain a body length of up to 14 mm. The group is distinguished by having the last abdominal segment modified into a tube-like structure – hence the suborder's name, which means "tube-bearers". Selected species Some of the better-known species are: * ''Aleurothrips fasciapennis'' (Franklin) - feeds on whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plasmodial Slime Mold
Myxogastria/Myxogastrea (myxogastrids, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, ICZN) or Myxomycetes (International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, ICN) is a Class (biology), class of slime molds that contains 5 order (biology), orders, 14 family (biology), families, 62 genera, and 888 species. They are colloquially known as the ''plasmodial'' or ''acellular'' slime moulds. All species pass through several very different morphology (biology), morphologic phases, such as microscopic individual cells, slimy amorphous organisms visible with the naked eye, and conspicuously shaped fruit body, fruit bodies. Although they are monocellular, they can reach immense widths and weights: in extreme cases they can be up to across and weigh up to . The class Myxogastria is distributed worldwide, but it is more common in temperate regions where it has a higher biodiversity than in Polar regions of Earth, polar regions, the subtropics, or the tropi ...

Paul Marchal
Paul Alfred Daniel Marchal (27 September 1862, Paris, – 2 March 1942, Paris) was a French entomologist. He was president of the French Entomological Society (''Société entomologique de France'') in 1907. He was president of the French Zoological Society (''Société zoologique de France'') in 1909. In 1883 Marchal received his undergraduate degree from the Academy of Paris (University of France). In 1889 he received a doctorate in medicine and in 1892 a doctorate in science, from the same institution. Marchal worked for the French government in Paris as an entomologist for the Ministry of Agriculture. In 1894 he became chief-of-staff of the entomology section, and in 1910 he became Director of the entomology station in Paris. In 1898 he started teaching at the ''Institut national agronomique'' (National Institute of Agriculture) and in 1900 he was appointed as a professor of applied zoology and agriculture. In 1912, based on the American experience with ''Novius cardinal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Institute Of Food And Agricultural Sciences
An institute is an organizational body created for a certain purpose. They are often research organisations (research institutes) created to do research on specific topics, or can also be a professional body. In some countries, institutes can be part of a university or other institutions of higher education, either as a group of departments or an autonomous educational institution without a traditional university status such as a "university institute", or institute of technology. In some countries, such as South Korea and India, private schools are sometimes referred to as institutes; also, in Spain, secondary schools are referred to as institutes. Historically, in some countries, institutes were educational units imparting vocational training and often incorporating libraries, also known as mechanics' institutes. The word "institute" comes from the Latin word ''institutum'' ("facility" or "habit"), in turn derived from ''instituere'' ("build", "create", "raise" or "edu ...

Coffea
''Coffea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. ''Coffea'' species are shrubs or small trees native to tropical and southern Africa and tropical Asia. The seeds of some species, called coffee beans, are used to flavor various beverages and products. The fruits, like the seeds, contain a large amount of caffeine, and have a distinct sweet taste. The plant ranks as one of the world's most valuable and widely traded commodity crops and is an important export product of several countries, including those in Central and South America, the Caribbean and Africa. The coffee trade relies heavily on two of the over 120 species, ''Coffea arabica'' (commonly known simply as "Arabica"), which accounts for 60–80% of the world's coffee production, and ''Coffea canephora'' (known as " Robusta"), which accounts for about 20–40%. Both coffee species are vulnerable to shifts, caused by climate change, in their growing zones, which are likely to result in a decline in pr ...

Hoplandrothrips
''Hoplandrothrips''(commonly misspelled as ''Hoplandothrips'') is a genus of thrips in the Phlaeothripidae family.Roskov Y., Ower G., Orrell T., Nicolson D., Bailly N., Kirk P.M., Bourgoin T., DeWalt R.E., Decock W., Nieukerken E. van, Zarucchi J., Penev L., eds. (2019)Species 2000 & ITIS Catalogue of Life, 2019 Annual Checklist Species 2000: Naturalis, Leiden, the Netherlands. ISSN 2405-884X. Some species are recorded as pests on coffee growing in East Africa, causing a distinctive rolling of the leaf. The genus was first described in 1912 by J. Douglas Hood. Description Adults are dark brown and around 2 mm long and the larvae are pale yellow. In coffee, they feed on young leaves causing them to roll very tightly, reducing the photosynthetic area of the leaf. They tend to cause little loss in yield however compared to coffee berry borer and antestia bugs.

Liothrips Urichi
The Clidemia thrips, ''Liothrips urichi'', is a thrips species from Trinidad. It is used as a biological control agent to stop the spread of ''Clidemia hirta'' (Koster's curse), an invasive plant species that does much damage in many tropical areas of the world. ''L. urichi'' was first employed on Fiji in 1930. It was introduced and released in Hawai'i in 1953, where, two months later, it was reproducing on ''C. hirta'' and was considered established. This introduction terminated the problem in pasturelands, but ''C. hirta'' remains a problem in heavily shaded forests where ''L. urichi'' does not normally establish itself. Infested tips of ''C. hirta'' may contain all stages of ''L. urichi'' but larva A larva (; : larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage.

Haplothrips Victoriensis
''Haplothrips'' is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. It is found worldwide and contains about 240 extant species. Description Thrips of this genus are medium-sized with one pair of 8-segmented antennae, three pairs of legs and usually two pairs of well-developed wings (macropterous). The head has a short mouth cone and a pair of deeply retracted maxillary stylets. The forewings are distinctly constricted in the middle and (in subgenus ''Haplothrips'') have duplicated cilia. The second through to the seventh abdominal tergites each have two pairs of sigmoid wing-retaining setae. In males, the ninth abdominal tergite has setae S2 short and stout, while the eight abdominal sternite usually has no pore plate. The male of ''H. dissociatus'' is unusual in having a small pore plate. Some of the aforementioned features, such as the forewing constriction, are shared by other Haplothripini. Ecology ''Haplothrips'' mostly feed and breed in flowers. The northern hemisp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
