“…The existence of geographical temperature races in insects and other organisms is well known and manifested in many ways (Andrewartha & Birch 1954;Mayr 1963;Bateman 1967;Taksdal 1967;Krebs 1972;Prosser 1973). Differences in the innate capacity for increase r^^, sometimes linked with measurements of temperature tolerance, have been used successfully by several authors to demonstrate the existence of temperature races in insects (Birch et al 1963;Lewontin & Birch 1966;Bateman 1967 Both S. oryzae dind S. granarius are regarded as species of oriental origin although the former is now typically a pest of sub-tropical to warm temperate regions and the latter a pest of temperate regions (Champ & Dyte 1976).…”

The capacity for increase (ij of three populations of S. oryzae and three populations of S. granarius from Great Britain and Canada was determined over 15 and 24 weeks respectively at 15°C in wheat of 14% moisture content. The fertility of these populations at 27°C, their body weight and chill-coma threshold was also measured.With both S. oryzae and S. granarius, values of r^ for the foreign populations fell within the range previously observed when several Australian populations were reared under the same conditions. The cohort generation times (Jc) of the foreign S. oryzae populations were significantly shorter than those of the Australian populations because of the shorter immature development periods (B) of the former. Two of the foreign S. granarius populations had lower values for D than all but one of their Australian counterparts but their values of T^ were within the range previously observed for Australian weevils. When the Australian and foreign populations were considered together, the value of Xc was more strongly correlated with fertility at 27°, an optimal temperature, than with body weight in both S. oryzae and S. granarius. With S. oryzae, r^ was correlated with the chill-coma threshold of cold-acclimated weevils only. There were no correlations between r^. and chill-coma thresholds in S. granarius. It was concluded that the observed differences in r^ were related to differences in the vigour of the populations rather than to physiological differences in cold-tolerance.The likelihood of grain weevils becoming cold-tolerant as a result of grain aeration is discussed and the practical significance of differences in r^ considered.

“…There is much information available on the life cycle of the mite (Massee 1928;Behrens 1964;Taksdal 1967;Gajek 1997;Apenite et al 2012), the annual cycle of egg (Collingwood & Brock 1959;Csapo 1992) and mite content of galls (Smith 1960a(Smith , b, 1961Mitchell et al 2011), and the migration of mites from galls in spring in order to colonize new buds (Łabanowska & Gajek 1999;Cross & Ridout 2001). Although, it has been long recognized that the timing of the migration of the gall mite is not closely associated with a particular growth stage of the plant, commercial acaricide applications are still timed according to plant growth stage (Apenite et al 2012).…”

The blackcurrant gall mite (Cecidophyopsis ribis) is the most important pest of blackcurrant crops. Over recent years withdrawal from plant protection programmes of chemical products (endosulfan and amitraz) used for the control of this pest in Poland, has led to an observed increase in population numbers. In 2013, fenpiroxymate (Ortus 05 SC) became registered for control of this pest. It is deemed best that chemical protection should be used during the migration period; when big gall mites emerge from buds in search of new buds. The studies were carried out in a plantation of blackcurrants during 2011-2013. The assessment of migration of the blackcurrant gall mite was carried out on the cultivars 'Ben Hope', 'Ben Alde'r, 'Ojeby'n and 'Ruben'. Every year, from selected cultivars buds were collected. They were then placed on blackcurrant leaves within Petri dishes. After one, three and five days of placing buds on the leaves, the estimated number of eriophyid mites on the leaves was calculated. The data has shown a very useful method for monitoring blackcurrant gall mite, which can be used in calculating the treatment dates for this pest. Also, the data has shown that differences in the periods of migration of the mite are dependent on the cultivar and time of flowering. Among the cultivars observed the least susceptible to colonization by the blackcurrant gall mite was a Polish cultivar 'Ruben', while the most susceptible cultivar was 'Ben Hope'.

“…Lifecycle and biology. The lifecycle of the mite has been extensively studied by Massee (1928), Collingwood and Brock (1959), Smith (1960a, 1961) and Taksdal (1967) (Fig. 6).…”

1 Approximately 10-12 species of Ribes plants are cultivated for fruit production, mainly blackcurrants, red-and whitecurrants and gooseberries. These crops are increasingly recognized as rich sources of vitamin C and anthocyanins, with production rising by 24% It is anticipated that global climate change could lead to increases in the incidence of some aphids through increased overwintering survival and longer seasonal activity. Moreover, changes in management practices such as increased cropping densities (from 5400 ha −1 to 8700 ha −1 ) and machine harvesting could lead to pest outbreaks through optimal microhabitats and increased susceptibility to pest colonization. 4 Future management options are considered, focusing on integrated pest management approaches, including behaviour-manipulating semiochemicals, predictive models, biocontrol and improved plant resistance through breeding.
