Book Synopsis Novel aspects of the biology of Chrysomelidae by : Pierre H. Jolivet
Download or read book Novel aspects of the biology of Chrysomelidae written by Pierre H. Jolivet and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chrysomelidae, along with Curculionidae and Bruchidae, are the most important phytophagous Coleoptera. At least 37,000 species of leaf beetles belonging to 19 subfamilies have now been described, and more probably remain to be discovered, especially in the tropics. Many species are familiar agricultural pests. The Colorado potato beetle, the cereal beetle, flea beetle and the corn root worms are but a few of the well known pests. Because of the economic importance and biological diversity, chrysomelids are an important taxonomic group for scientific inquiry. This book is divided into eight parts, entitled palaeontology, larvae and larval biology, trophic selection, genetics and evolution defence mechanisms, anatomy and reproduction, pathogens and natural enemies, and general studies in biology. The biologies of agricultural and forestry pests, Leptinotarsa, Plagiodera, Entomoscelis, Paropsis, Mecistomela and Aspidomorpha are dealt with in detail. Others, such as Timarcha and those in the poorly known Megalopodinae, are covered in Part VIII. In this volume the American, European, Asian and Australian fauna occupy the greatest part. This volume, together with Biology of Chrysomelidae (1988), provides a comprehensive coverage and helps to complete the picture of chrysomelid biology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 23 A much clearer picture is now emerging of the fine structure of the plant cuticle and its surface, the composition of cuticular waxes and the biosynthetic pathways leading to them. Studies assessing the impact of UV radiation on plant life have emphasized the role of the cuticle and underlying epidermis as optical filters for solar radiation. The field concerned with the diffusive transport of lipophilic organic non-electrolytes across the plant cuticle has reached a state of maturity. A new paradigm has recently been proposed for the diffusion of polar compounds and water across the cuticle. In the context of plant ecophysiology, cuticular transpiration can now be placed in the perspective of whole-leaf water relations. New and unexpected roles have been assigned to the cuticle in plant development and pollen-stigma interactions. Finally, much progress has been made in understanding the cuticle as a specific and extraordinary substrate for the interactions of the plant with microorganisms, fungi and insects. This volume details the major developments of recent years in this important interdisciplinary area. It is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry, plant physiology, plant ecology, phytopathology and environmental microbiology, in both the academic and industrial sectors.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid evolution is becoming increasingly relevant to evolutionary biologists and ecologists, especially in the context of global environmental change. This thesis is motivated by the goal of understanding the genomic mechanisms and evolutionary history that allow pest insects to rapidly adapt to their environment. A deeper understanding of how agriculturally impactful pest species successfully overcome environmental challenges is not only of fundamental interest, but it can also translate into new efforts to mitigate pest impacts and improve sustainable food production. Few systems exemplify adaptability to environmental novelty and selective pressure as well as agricultural super-pests. This status is reserved for those that have a major impact on crop yield and a propensity for rapid development of pesticide resistance. Among insect super-pests, the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is notable for its long history of population outbreaks, global expansion, and repeated evolution of insecticide resistance. To investigate how adaptation in this lineage has occurred since becoming an agricultural pest, I first establish a comparative phylogenomic framework examining the evolution of pest traits in the genus Leptinotarsa in Chapter 1. I use this framework to compare genomic features of CPB against nine closely-related Leptinotarsa species, to determine that CPB, and daughter species, have genome-wide elevated rates of positive selection and genes associated with plant preference, xenobiotic metabolism and stress. Furthermore, this finding seems to be attributed to larger effective population size in these lineages, possibly due to expanded host breadth. In Chapter 2, I refine the CPB reference genome and develop a reference graph of the Colorado potato beetle using pest and non-pest representative individuals. This reference elucidates an important supporting role structural variants have played in the evolution of insecticide resistance. Finally, in Chapter 3, I use population genomic resequencing of two important resistant populations to examine the demographic history, genome-wide recombination maps, and patterns of selective sweeps. I find evidence that CPB pest history mirrors known historical records and that populations exhibit independent evolution of insecticide resistance genes. Altogether, my research shows that CPB evolves insecticide resistance rapidly due to substantial standing genetic variation and by leveraging diverse molecular pathways of resistance.
