The infested walnut tree occurs in the midst of pecan weevil-infested pecans, Carya illinoinensis (Wang.) K. Koch; the larval haplotypes were found to be identical to pecan weevil larvae from the region, indicating that the walnut infestation arose by association with infested pecan. This is the first confirmed DNA analysis showing pecan weevil attacks J. regia and the second report that J. regia may be at risk of infestation by pecan weevil. Further study indicates this infestation on walnut is established and ongoing. The pecan weevil is a key pest of pecan and seems capable of inflicting similar damage to walnut if spread to commercial areas that produce J. regia.10aCurculio caryae1 aHarris, Marvin, K.1 aHunt, Kenneth, L.1 aCognato, Anthony, I.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/dna-identification-confirms-pecan-weevil-coleoptera-curculionidae-infestation-carpathian-walnut01704nas a2200181   4500008004100000020002500041245012600066210006900192260001700261300001200278490000700290520101600297653001901313100001901332700002201351700001401373856013501387       2010                        eng d  a0406-3597; 1308-812200aEffects of the using different sprayer types for chemical control of Curculio nucum L. on some useful and harmful insects0 aEffects of the using different sprayer types for chemical contro  cTemmuz-Eylul  a133-1410 v503 aHazelnut is one of the strategical products for the exportation in Turkey and Curculio nucum L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is the main pest in the hazelnut orchards. The study was conducted in two different village selected due to population level Atakum town of Samsun in 2008 and 2009. To determine the effects of using different sprayer types for chemical control against C. nucum on some useful and harmful insects the counting was realized before and after applications. These insects are ladybug, earwing and kernel damage. Full dosage 1/4 dosage, 1/2 dosage applications by using knapsack mistblower, knapsack mistblower with rotary atomiser, sprayer were tested and Carbosulfan having active ingredient carbosulfan was examined while the sprayer types used gave the similar results, harmful and useful insects were less affected in the low dosage applications. In addition chemical application against C. nucum was not enough alone to control Kernel damage of Palomena prasina (L.)

The timing of reproduction is predicted to match the period of maximum food availability. In this sense, the case of many phytophagous insects in temperate regions is very illustrative, as their larvae usually depend on a resource only available for a limited period of time each year. 2. For 3 years the interactions between the weevil Curculio elephas and the Mediterranean Holm oak Quercus ilex were studied. Weevil larvae grow within the acorns, feeding on the cotyledons. The timing of oviposition will determine food availability for the larvae, as acorns stop growing once they are attacked. 3. Acorn temporal growing patterns did not change between years and food availability for larvae was at its highest in October, when temperature was still suitable for larval development. However, oviposition phenology did change between years. In 2002 females oviposited later, larvae grew within larger acorns, and their body mass was significantly higher than in 2003 or 2004, when females oviposited into early acorns. 4. Thus, weevils do not always adjust oviposition to the best possible feeding conditions for their offspring. Rather, they seem to maximise their own lifetime fitness, ovipositing as soon as they emerge in late summer. Emergence, in turn, depends strongly on stochastic events such as summer storms in the Mediterranean region. 5. Under a climate change perspective, the trend towards higher August rainfall recorded in our study area may alter oviposition phenology, with the subsequent cascade effects on weevil body size and fitness.10aCurculio elephas1 aBonal, Raul1 aMunoz, Alberto1 aEspelta, Josep, Maria  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/mismatch-between-timing-oviposition-and-seasonal-optimum-stochastic-phenology-mediterranean-acorn-we
