“…However, taking into account other reproductive attributes of the predator, our results are different from others. In our study, the longevity, and oviposition period and total fecundity of H. variegata did not vary significantly among five host plants, but other researchers found that prey host plant species had significant influences on these parameters (Rü and Mitsipa 2000;Al-Zyoud et al 2005). The difference may be attributed to the nature of the host plants used in the experiment.…”

“…Compared to broad bean, both rape and mustard as an aphid diet, were found to shorten developmental duration of A. bipunctata, but no significant difference of ladybird beetle mortality was observed. Al-Zyoud et al (2005) tested the influence of host plant species of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) on Serangium parcesetosum Sicard.…”

“…However, supporting data are limited. Some studies indicated that the suitability of prey was affected not only by the host plant species (Rü and Mitsipa 2000;Francis et al 2001;Al-Zyoud et al 2005), but also by the cultivar (Du et al 2004). For example, for Myzus persicae (Sulzer), oil seed rape and broad bean shortened developmental time of Adalia bipunctata (L.), whereas white mustard induced lower fecundity (Francis et al 2001).…”

The aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Hippodamia variegata (Goeze), is an important predator in many agricultural ecosystems. However, information on the influence of the prey's host plant species on its life history characteristics is still absent in the literature. Therefore, five host plant species of Aphis gossypii Glover, viz. Cucumis sativus L., Cucurbita pepo var. medullosa L., Cucurbita moschata var. melonaeformis Poiret, Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis L. and Lagenaria siceraria var. gourda Standl., were selected to study the influence of the prey's host plant species on the development, survival, reproduction and life table parameters of H. variegata in the laboratory at 25°C. The results showed that all of A. gossypii from five host plant species used were acceptable for the growth, development and reproduction of H. variegata. However, the suitability of aphids from various host plants was different for this ladybird beetle. The complete preimaginal development was longest (14.51 ± 0.17 days) when reared with aphids on C. melo var. cantalupensis and shortest (12.60 ± 0.11 days) on L. siceraria var. gourda. Total immature survival from egg to adult was highest (58.97%) on L. siceraria var. gourda and lowest (44.06%) on C. melo var. cantalupensis. Based on the intrinsic rate of increase as an index of suitability of prey host plant species on the population increase of H. variegata, the suitability in decreasing order was: L. siceraria var. gourda [ C. moschata var. melonaeformis [ C. pepo var. medullosa [ C. melo var. cantalupensis [ C. sativus. This study offered opportunities for better understanding the tritrophic interactions of the plant-aphid-predator relationship.

Blackmer , a coauthor of Chapter 5 and a renowned entomologist in the field of insect behavior, insect-plant interactions, and insect dispersal and migration. During postdoctoral work at The University of Arizona and her most recent tenure with the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service in Arizona she made numerous advances in understanding the behavior, physiology and ecology of Bemisia tabaci. Dr. Blackmer conducted some of the first and still the most comprehensive studies on the migratory and short-range flight behavior of Bemisia tabaci including the role of environment, physiology, morphology, life history and host quality. She advanced our understanding of host quality factors in whitefly life history, developed an artificial diet system, and examined the flight behavior of whitefly parasitoids. She was a tireless, innovative and inspirational researcher as well as being a generous collaborator, colleague and friend to all with whom she worked. Her significant contributions to entomology will be long remembered and will continue to inspire advances in whitefly biology, ecology and management.v

“…These effects may be mediated by physical traits (such as trichomes, surface waxes, and spines) or chemical attributes (such as secondary metabolites and nitrogen content) (Price et al, ; Panda & Khush, ; De Clercq et al, ; Lovinger et al, ; Awmack & Leather, ; Giles et al, ; Eigenbrode, ; Schoonhoven et al, ).

The predatory midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is widely used for the control of Aphis spp. in many agricultural systems. We aimed to determine the most suitable host plant for rearing the predatory midges on the prey Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Six host plants were selected: cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Beith Alpha), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Falat111), eggplant (Solanum melongena L. cv. Yummy), pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Bertene) (all Solanaceae), okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moensch cv. Clemson Spineless] (Malvaceae), and squash (Cucurbita pepo L. cv. Hybrid rajai) (Cucurbitaceae). Some physical traits (length and density of trichomes) and chemical attributes (nitrogen content) of prey host plants were investigated. The results showed that prey host plants differed significantly in their effect on fitness of the predator. The shortest immature development time (18.07 ± 0.257 days), the longest female adult longevity (7.5 ± 0.18 days), and the highest fecundity (89 eggs/female) of A. aphidimyza were found with squash as prey food. The highest intrinsic rate of increase (0.171 ± 0.009 day−1) and also the shortest mean generation time (22.4 ± 0.32 days) were also obtained when A. aphidimyza fed on A. gossypii reared on squash. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) approved the correlation between life‐history traits of A. aphidimyza and characteristics of prey host plants. The suitability of squash for rearing A. aphidimyza can be attributed to the higher nitrogen content, longer trichomes, and relatively high density of trichomes, which provided a better environment for A. gossypii and indirectly favored A. aphidimyza. This study showed that squash is the most suitable host plant for rearing A. aphidimyza feeding on A. gossypii.
