“…The conclusions support those of other similar studies in that some flowering plants can be used to increase local populations of beneficial insects (Simpson et al, 2011;Hoddle et al, 2015;Dainese et al, 2017;Mensah et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2017) and rubidium chloride can be used to quantify insect movement to some extent (Scarratt et al, 2008;Madeira & Pons, 2015. Other major conclusions here were that there is an anesthesia method that works better than the common practices.…”

“…The results found here suggest that S. flava and most parasitoid wasp species found in this system feed on buckwheat and can be marked. Many articles have used rubidium to mark and record the consequences of insect movement since Scarratt's (2008) work (Villegas et al, 2013;Klick et al, 2015;Madeira & Pons, 2015 but they tend to focus on just the beneficial insects. This study was conducted to find the behaviour consequences of the pest and natural enemies through observing their movement so that flowering plants (buckwheat) could be deployed more effectively.…”

“…In our case, the dispersion distances of psyllids such as C. visci, the main specialist of V. album, are highly variable, that is, from few meters to kilometres (van den Berg & Deacon, 1988;Boina et al, 2009;Henne et al, 2010;Kobori et al, 2011;Lewis-Rosenblum et al, 2015). Similarly, species of the family Anthocoridae, such as the main specialist predator inhabiting V. album, has a dispersal distance of several meters per day (Prasifka et al, 2004;Madeira & Pons, 2015). Thus, the distance between mistletoes does not limit the colonisation ability of the arthropod community associated with mistletoes.…”

1. The colonisation of a new habitat by a community is led by deterministic and stochastic processes at different spatio‐temporal scales. Parasitic plants, such as mistletoe, represent a new habitat within forest canopy that is free to be colonised by many organisms. 2. This study investigates how ecological factors operating at forest and plant scales drive changes in both specialist (mistletoe‐dwelling) and tourist (transient visitors) arthropod communities inhabiting European mistletoe, Viscum album subsp. austriacum, in a Mediterranean pine forest. The influence of elevation along a broad elevational gradient was tested by sampling arthropod communities dwelling in mistletoe plants and host pine branches and the effects of mistletoe plant size, distances to other mistletoes, and temporal variation in arthropod assemblages inhabiting mistletoes. 3. The diversity of the specialist community remained constant along the elevational gradient and over the summer period, while the tourist and pine‐dwelling arthropod communities showed species turnover. Larger mistletoes were occupied by more species and individuals, whereas more isolated mistletoes presented the same equilibrium point as the more aggregated ones. Thus, mistletoe size is key to the composition of the arthropod community. 4. In conclusion, this study's findings indicate contrasting assembly rules for specialised and tourist arthropod communities associated with mistletoe. The specialist community was highly stable and followed a deterministic trophic sequence of colonisation as the assemblage rule: first, colonisation by the main specialist herbivore, Cacopsylla visci, and, second, by its predator Anthocoris visci. Meanwhile, the tourist community, being a subset of the arthropod assemblage of the pine, acts independent of mistletoe presence.

Okitsu mandarin grove consists of 10 rows and 20 trees in each row. Four rows of the experimental area were left weedy during the study. During this time most of the weeds had the flowering stage, with different heights. In this study, a total of seven thrips species was determined. The most common and abundant sampled thrips species were Thrips tabaci Lindeman, Melanthrips spp. and Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), respectively. Thrips tabaci were mostly sampled from Vicia villosa as well as a predatory bug, Orius niger (Wolff, 1811) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). Melanthrips species were sampled in high numbers on Sinapis arvensis. Frankliniellla occidentalis was found abundantly on Melilotus officinalis. Sinapis arvensis on which Melanthrips species are the most abundant, hosted relatively low numbers of F. occidentalis and T. tabaci indicating Melanthrips species compete well with other two harmful thrips species on this plant. This study suggests that it can be useful to allow the weeds with yellow-and multi-flowered as well as V. villosa to grow in groves without any precautionary measures against weeds. Besides, these weeds may play a role as trap plants for thrips and banker plants for predators mainly Orius species.
