Gyeongsan strain (HeG) at the petri dish assay. The larval mortality of H. postica was significantly different depending on nematode species and treatment concentration. SgD and HeG strain were more effective against H. postica larva than ScG and HbH strain. When SgD and HeG strain were treated with the rate of >20 infective juveniles (ijs) per alfalfa weevil larva, mortality was ca. 77.5-100% at the late instars of H. postica in 3 days. The number of established nematode was significantly different depending on nematode species, whereas number of progeny was not significantly different. The mean number of established us of SgD strain in a host was the highest at 80 ijs by 30.2. The highest progeny number of HeG strain was 2,671.5 with 80 ijs. All nematode strains were not parasitic entirely to H. postica adults. These results show that alfalfa weevil late larva is highly susceptible to Korean entomopathogenic nematodes in the laboratory.10aHypera postica1 aKim, Hyeong-Hwan1 aHan, Gun-Yeong1 aPark, Chung-Chan1 aChoo, Ho-Yul1 aCho, Sung-Rae1 aLee, Heung-Soo1 aLee, Dong-Woon1 aPark, Chung-Gyoo  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/susceptibility-alfalfa-weevil-hypera-postica-coleoptera-curculionidae-korean-entomopathogenic-nemato01066nas a2200145   4500008004500000020001400045245003100059210003100090300001200121520067100133653002500804653002100829100001800850856005200868       1984                        Engldsh    a0870-387600aColeoptera from the Azores0 aColeoptera from the Azores  a142-1613 aSome results from excursions in 1982 and 1983 on a few of the Azores Islands are presented.

In response to this need, grazing exclosures with unique degree-days and stocking rates were established at weekly intervals in a central Montana alfalfa field during 2008 and 2009. Analyses indicate that increased stocking rates and grazing degree-days were associated with decreased crop levels of weevil larvae. Larval data collected from grazing treatments were regressed against on-site and near-site temperatures that produced the same accuracy. The near-site model was chosen to encourage producer acceptance. The regression slope differed from zero, had an r2 of 0.83, and a root mean square error of 0.2. Crop data were collected to achieve optimal weevil management with forage quality and yield. Differences were recorded in crude protein, acid and neutral detergent fibers, total digestible nutrients, and mean stage by weight. Stem heights differed with higher stocking rates and degree-days recording the shortest alfalfa canopy height at harvest. The degree-day model was validated at four sites during 2010 with a mean square prediction error of 0.74. The recommendation from this research is to stock alfalfa fields in the spring before 63 DD with rates between 251 and 583 sheep days per hectare (d/ha). Sheep should be allowed to graze to a minimum of 106 and maximum of 150 DD before removal. This model gives field entomologists a new method for implementing grazing in an integrated pest management program.10aHypera postica1 aGoosey, Hayes, B.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/degree-day-model-sheep-grazing-influence-alfalfa-weevil-and-crop-characteristics00831nas a2200253   4500008004400000020001400044245008000058210006900138260000900207300001200216490000600228653002000234653002100254653002900275653001800304653002200322653002200344653002200366653002500388653003000413100002300443700001800466856009300484       2008                        Germdn    a1662-850000aThe weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) from the Reuss Delta near Seedorf.0 aweevils Coleoptera Curculionoidea from the Reuss Delta near Seed  c2008  a103-1070 v110aAcalles camelus10aCurculio betulae10aDatonychus melanostictus10aHypera arator10aIsochnus sequensi10aMogulones raphani10aPelenomus waltoni10aProtapion nigritarse10aRhinoncus perpendicularis1 aGermann, Christoph1 aHerger, Peter  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/weevils-coleoptera-curculionoidea-reuss-delta-near-seedorf00860nas a2200205   4500008004100000020001400041245004300055210004300098260000900141300001000150490000600160520028700166653002100453653002100474653003000495653001900525653002000544100002300564856006700587       2011                        eng d  a1662-850000aObservations on weevils in Switzerland0 aObservations on weevils in Switzerland  c2011  a65-750 v43 aRecords of Omias puberulus, Brachypera dauci, B. vidua, Hvpera striata, and Haplorhynchites pubescens are reported and insights into their biology are given.

In a factorial field experiment in which we manipulated local prey densities within a field of alfalfa in Utah (USA), we tested whether aphidophagous ladybirds would aggregate not only in response to their primary aphid prey, but also in response to an abundant alternative prey, the alfalfa weevil (Hypera postica (Gyllenhal)). Native North American ladybirds (primarily Hippodamia convergens Guerin and H. quinquesignata quinquesignata (Kirby)) responded only to spatial variation in aphid density. In contrast, the introduced ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata L., aggregated also at local concentrations of the weevil late in the experiment when weevil density was high and aphid density was relatively low throughout all experimental plots. The results support the hypothesis that C. septempunctata is more responsive than are native ladybirds to the availability of alternative prey in alfalfa, which may account in part for the displacement of native ladybirds from alfalfa by the introduced species as aphid numbers have declined. The differing responses of the native and introduced ladybirds to spatial patterns of the alternative prey underscore the importance of extending the study of predator aggregation to understand better how polyphagous predators distribute themselves in response to spatial patterns of multiple species of potential prey.10aHypera postica1 aEvans, Edward, W.1 aToler, Trent, R.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/aggregation-polyphagous-predators-response-multiple-prey-ladybirds-coleoptera-coccinellidae-foraging02111nas a2200169   4500008004100000020002500041245009300066210006900159260000800228300001200236490000800248520151400256653001901770100002101789700002201810856010901832       2011                        eng d  a0013-8746; 1938-290100aDetermining Diets of Ladybird Beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) From Contents of Frass0 aDetermining Diets of Ladybird Beetles Coleoptera Coccinellidae F  cJul  a675-6810 v1043 aAmong the methods to evaluate field diets of insect predators is frass analysis. The potential of this infrequently used method was explored for determining prey consumption by adult ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., fields. A laboratory experiment revealed that at 20[degree]C, within 48 h after consumption of prey (either pea aphids, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), or larvae of the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal)), almost all prey fragments had been voided by adults of five ladybird beetle species commonly occurring in Utah alfalfa fields. Among the five ladybird beetle species, aphid and weevil fragments were detected in frass of 80-95 and 29-73% of adults, respectively. A second laboratory experiment with adults of the most common of these predators (the introduced Coccinella septempunctata L.) more fully identified and enumerated diagnostic fragments for specific types of prey (aphids, weevil larvae, and conspecific larvae) as they occurred in frass. Frass pellets from the consumption of alfalfa weevil and conspecific larvae most often contained diagnostic cuticle and setae, and less often mandibles and head capsules. Frass from the consumption of pea aphids most often contained antennae and legs, and less often mouthparts, eyes, and tarsal claws. These laboratory results provide a foundation for using and interpreting the results of frass analysis as a technique to assess field diets of aphidophagous ladybird beetles in alfalfa.10aHypera postica1 aDavidson, Nicole1 aEvans, Edward, W.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/determining-diets-ladybird-beetles-coleoptera-coccinellidae-contents-frass02221nas a2200301   4500008004100000245015300041210006900194260001300263300001200276490000600288520114400294653001501438653002701453653002901480653003201509653002701541653001901568653001501587653002301602653002201625653002201647653002101669653002001690653002201710100002801732700002401760856013501784       2010                        eng d00aDetermination of the species of Curculionoidea superfamily on alfalfa fields (Medicago sativa L.) and their distribution in Bursa Province of Turkey0 aDetermination of the species of Curculionoidea superfamily on al  cDecember  a123-1310 v43 aThis study was carried out to determine superfamily species of Curculionoidea which is living in the alfalfa areas of Bursa province of Turkey during 2004-2005.

Either generation survival rate (S) or population trend index (I) may be described as a function of temperature (t) in parabola curves, The optimal temperature range for growth and development of Hypera postica was between 25 and 27[degree]C.10aHypera postica1 aZhang, Na1 aZhao, Li1 aChai, Yan-jun  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/life-table-laboratory-population-hypera-postica-gyllenhal-different-temperatures01849nas a2200181   4500008004100000020001400041245008500055210006900140260000800209300001200217490000700229520126200236653001901498100001401517700001301531700001601544856010701560       2010                        eng d  a1001-433000aPrimary research on wing dimorphism of alfalfa weevil Hypera postica (Gyllenhal)0 aPrimary research on wing dimorphism of alfalfa weevil Hypera pos  cMay  a910-9140 v473 a( Objective ) To explore the effect of the factors such as heredity and environment on wing dimorphism of alfalfa weevil and then provide theoretic basis to forecast its occurrence . ( Method ) Larvae were reared until becoming pupae under conditions that included different parental combinations, temperatures, larva densities and host quality statistic analysis on wing dimorphism differentiation was conducted. ( Result) The results showed that: there are significant difference in wing morph differentiation of Ft progeny pupae obtained from different parental combinations, especially in the combination when both parents were normal [long dash] wing (N x N cross) vestigial [long dash] wing pupae of Ft progeny can be as high as 94.1% ; the effect of temperature and density were also significant : the differentitation ratio of normal [long dash] wing pupae increased and vestigial [long dash] wing pupae decreased with the increasing of temperature and density; quality of hosts brought significant difference, the ratio of normal [long dash] wing pupae in the treatment of alfalfa stem were obviously high than the treatment of alfalfa leaf . ( Conclusion ) Thus, the differentiation of wing morph of alfalfa weevil were controlled by many factors.10aHypera postica1 aZhang, Na1 aZhao, Li1 aZhang, Ting  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/primary-research-wing-dimorphism-alfalfa-weevil-hypera-postica-gyllenhal00641nas a2200157   4500008004500000245013900045210006900184260001300253300001000266490000700276653001900283100001900302700001300321700001400334856013500348       2008                        Chindse  00aStudy on the longevity and fecundity of Tetrastichus incertus (Ratzeburg), a parasite of the alfalfa weevil Hypera postica (Gyllenhal)0 aStudy on the longevity and fecundity of Tetrastichus incertus Ra  cMarch 15  a83-850 v3010aHypera postica1 aZhu, Xiao-Feng1 aZhao, Li1 aLiu, Qian  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/study-longevity-and-fecundity-tetrastichus-incertus-ratzeburg-parasite-alfalfa-weevil-hypera-postica
