“…This result is contrary to findings of other studies that investigated development factors of B-and Q-biotypes using bell pepper, C. annuum (cv. Morrón) (Muñiz and Nombela, 2001) and the common weeds Datura stramonium L. and Solanum nigrum L. (Muñiz, 2000). Differences in the development time between the two biotypes were approximately only one to two days in these studies, although they were four to seven days in our study.…”

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) B-and Q-biotypes are exotic insects in Japan and are consequently regarded as insect pests in agricultural fields. Using B-and Q-biotypes, we investigated the hatching rate, survival rate during the larval stage and the total development period from egg to adult. Whiteflies were allowed to lay eggs on several host plants: cabbage, Brassica oleracea var. capitata; cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.; tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L.; eggplant, Solanum melongena L.; bell pepper, Capsicum annuum cv. grossum; and five cultivars of kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris (cvs. Kentucky101, Nagauzura, Morocco, Satsukimidori and Honkintoki), and the effects on the above traits were evaluated. Clear differences between the two biotypes were detected. A particularly important difference was that the B-biotype successfully developed to adults on only one of five cultivars of kidney bean, whereas the Q-biotype was able to utilize all the test plants as hosts regardless of the cultivar. This finding suggests that the determination of host plants in B. tabaci is greatly influenced by not only plant species but also by cultivar. In addition, there is a high possibility that the Q-biotype has the ability to adapt to a wider range of plant species and cultivars compared with the B-biotype.

“…Second, both mating and oviposition are likely to be initiated in B. tabaci when pairs are experimentally placed with host plant leaves (e.g., Sun et al 2011). Third, these two biotypes show better adult and offspring performance on different crop species (Muñiz 2000;Iida et al 2009). Moreover, in the Israel population, the Q biotype has higher pesticide resistance than the B biotype.…”

Host selection in insects: reproductive interference shapes behavior of ovipositing females

In nature, closely related species often utilize different host species, but it is still unclear what factors contribute to the evolution and maintenance of such diversified host selection. In this review, I describe how negative interspecific mating interactions (reproductive interference) can shape host selection by animals, focusing mainly on phytophagous and predatory insects. First, I explain an important premise of this hypothesis, which is that the adult reproductive site is the same as the feeding site for the offspring. Next, I describe several mathematical models and well-studied empirical systems to show that reproductive interference can sufficiently drive and maintain different host selection between phylogenetically related species. Then, I argue for the first time that reproductive interference can cause an oviposition preference in insects that is not optimal for the survival and development of the offspring, as a result of maternal adaptive behavior that maximizes the mother's own fitness. Furthermore, I argue that in insects, reproductive interference probably shapes oviposition behavior before the female alights on the host (e.g., habitat preference), without affecting post-alighting decision making. I would like to emphasize that these two arguments represent the novel approach to clarify the unrevealed pattern of complex insect oviposition behavior.

“…Finally, host-plant species could influence the population dynamics or distribution on whitefly resources (Muñiz 2000;De Barro et al 2006Brown 2007;Naveed et al 2007;Delatte et al 2009). Weeds have widely been considered to be alternative hosts to vegetable crops and as shelter for insects, and in whitefly management schemes, some weed species are intentionally included as trap crops for parasitoids (Bel-Kadhi and Onillon 2006;Naveed et al 2007).…”

Spatial and host‐plant partitioning between coexisting Bemisia tabaci cryptic species in Tunisia

The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is a species complex including at least 24 morphologically indistinguishable species among which the Mediterranean (Med) and Middle East-Asia Minor I (MEAMI) species containing the biotypes commonly known as Q and B, respectively. These B and Q biotypes (hereafter referred to as MEAMI and Med species) are the most invasive agricultural pests of the B. tabaci complex worldwide. The spread of MEAMI and more recently of Med species into regions already invaded by other B. tabaci populations has been frequently seen to lead to their displacement by Med species. In Tunisia, in contrast to usual observations in the Mediterranean basin, Med and MEAMI species have been seen to co-occur in the main crop producing regions. Based on fine population genetics and field spatial distribution analyses, we found that the co-existence of these two interacting species was based on habitat partitioning including spatial and hostplant partitioning. Although they co-occurred at larger spatial scales, they excluded one another at sample scale. We observed neither spatial overlapping nor hybridization between MEAMI and Med B. tabaci. Vegetable crops were the main hosts for MEAMI specimens while 99.1% of the B. tabaci collected on the ornamental, Lantana camara, were Med specimens. Different patterns of genetic diversity were observed between the two species, as well as among Med specimens sampled on the ornamental versus vegetables, with the highest genetic diversity found in Med B. tabaci sampled on L. camara. These findings lead us to focus our discussion on the role played by lantana, human pressure, and competition, in the spatial and genetic patterns observed in the whitefly B. tabaci.
