“…Studies that confirm the performing of vertical flights by D. citri associated with a small portion of individuals taking off from the host plant, as noted in the results of the present study, may be indirect evidence of a migratory behaviour in populations of the insect, as suggested by Sakamaki (). The high biotic potential of D. citri (Tsai & Liu, ; Alves, Diniz, & Parra, ) and the risk of mortality of migratory individuals could explain the small number of psyllids taking off from the host plant, as proposed for B. tabaci (Blackmer & Byrne, ). It is appropriate to point out that the methodology used in this work did not allow the distinction between migratory and non‐migratory psyllids and additional studies should be conducted to test this hypothesis.…”

Environmental factors that influence flight activity of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) may have implications for Huanglongbing spread and management. In this work, four studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of environmental conditions on D. citri take‐off. In the first, insects were transferred to sweet orange seedlings and confined inside an acrylic cage to verify the take‐off periodicity and the effect of environmental factors on this process. In the second, take‐off temperature threshold was estimated by recording the number of insects that initiated flight from a platform when subjected to gradual temperature increases from 15 to 39°C. In the other studies, we evaluated the effect of different photoperiods and temperature regimes (third study) and of constant temperatures (fourth study) on the propensity for D. citri flight. Insects were confined in clear plastic bottle cages with tubes of 50 ml placed on the cab, to collect emerged adults that initiated flights. Results showed that a small portion of the tested population (maximum 10%) tends to take off from plants and this behaviour is more prevalent in the afternoon (14:00–16:00 h), coinciding with daytimes of lower humidity and higher thermal amplitude. Adults that were submitted to lower temperatures (18°C) and short light periods (10 h) showed less propensity to flight. In contrast, at constant 27°C, the insects were more prone to flight, and this result was confirmed when individuals were submitted to increases in temperature, indicating that 27.14°C is the take‐off temperature threshold of D. citri. Results show that temperature plays an important role in the flight activity of D. citri and suggest that control measures of the insect may be more effective in the morning and in temperatures below 27°C, when the probability to take off from a host is lower.

“…Generation time, oviposition levels, and survival rates are important factors related to host plant quality that effect population establishment (Alves, Diniz & Parra, 2014; Tsagkarakis & Rogers, 2010; Tsai & Liu, 2000; Nava et al, 2007). Several morphometric parameters including wing width, body length and antenna length of potato psyllids varied significantly when development occurred on different varieties of tomato plants (Vargas-Madríz et al, 2013).…”

“…The choice of Citrus varieties suboptimal for ACP in key areas of the groves has been proposed as a possible component of an ACP management strategy (Alves, Diniz & Parra, 2014). Use of both approaches to morphometric analysis facilitated relating results to prior studies of ACP that used both traditional (Lashkari, Hentz & Boykin, 2015; García-Pérez et al, 2013) and geometric (Lashkari et al, 2013) morphometric analyses.…”

The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is one of the most serious citrus pests worldwide due to its role as vector of huanglongbing or citrus greening disease. While some optimal plant species for ACP oviposition and development have been identified, little is known of the influence of host plants on ACP size and shape. Our goal was to determine how size and shape of ACP wing and body size varies when development occurs on different host plants in a controlled rearing environment. ACP were reared on six different rutaceous species; Bergera koenigii, Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus macrophylla, Citrus maxima, Citrus taiwanica and Murraya paniculata. Adults were examined for morphometric variation using traditional and geometric analysis based on 12 traits or landmarks. ACP reared on C. taiwanica were consistently smaller than those reared on the other plant species. Wing aspect ratio also differed between C. maxima and C. taiwanica. Significant differences in shape were detected with those reared on M. paniculata having narrower wings than those reared on C. macrophylla. This study provides evidence of wing size and shape differences of ACP based on host plant species which potentially may impact dispersal. Further study is needed to determine if behavioral and physiological differences are associated with the observed phenotypic differences.

“…The ability to integrate information from these two different sensory modalities, odor and color, may facilitate Asian citrus psyllidÕs ability to recognize preferred signature stimuli from host plants and to be more attracted to certain competing signatures when choosing between potential hosts (Patt and Sé tamou 2010). Additionally, ßush growth quality in terms of nutritional value and physical characteristics has important inßuences on the Þtness of Asian citrus psyllid (Tsai and Liu 2000, Nava et al 2007, Tsagkarakis and Rogers 2010, Teck et al 2011, Westbrook et al 2011, Alves et al 2014. For mandarins, Þtness effects measured in the laboratory are signiÞcant and Asian citrus psyllid does not perform well on ÔCleopatraÕ (Citrus reshni Hort.…”

“…Females lay 3.32 times more eggs on sour orange, egg to adult survivorship rates are higher (4% [Cleopatra] vs. 62% [sour orange]), and egg to adult development times are signiÞcantly shorter on sour orange (Tsagkarakis and Rogers 2010). Additionally, population growth parameters (e.g., net reproductive rate [R o ] and intrinsic rate of increase [r m ]) for Asian citrus psyllid are signiÞcantly lower on Ponkan mandarin when compared with sweet orange (i.e., Valencia; Alves et al 2014). The practical implications of reduced Þtness for Asian citrus psyllid on mandarins could result in lower Asian citrus psyllid populations.…”

Phenology of Asian Citrus Psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae) and Associated Parasitoids on Two Species ofCitrus, Kinnow Mandarin and Sweet Orange, in Punjab Pakistan

The population phenology of Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, was monitored weekly for 110 wk on two species of Citrus, kinnow mandarin and sweet orange, at two different research sites in Faisalabad, Punjab Pakistan. Citrus flush growth patterns were monitored and natural enemy surveys were conducted weekly. Flush patterns were similar for kinnow and sweet orange. However, flush on sweet orange was consistently more heavily infested with Asian citrus psyllid than kinnow flush; densities of Asian citrus psyllid eggs, nymphs, and adults were higher on sweet orange when compared with kinnow. When measured in terms of mean cumulative insect or Asian citrus psyllid days, eggs, nymphs, and adults were significantly higher on sweet orange than kinnow. Two parasitoids were recorded attacking Asian citrus psyllid nymphs, Tamarixia radiata (Waterston) and Diaphorencyrtus aligarhensis (Shafee, Alam and Agarwal). The dominant parasitoid species attacking Asian citrus psyllid nymphs on kinnow and sweet orange was T. radiata, with parasitism averaging 26%. D. aligarhensis parasitism averaged 17%. Generalist predators such as coccinellids and chrysopids were collected infrequently and were likely not important natural enemies at these study sites. Immature spiders, in particular, salticids and yellow sac spiders, were common and may be important predators of all Asian citrus psyllid life stages. Low year round Asian citrus psyllid densities on kinnow and possibly high summer temperatures, may, in part, contribute to the success of this cultivar in Punjab where Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the putative causative agent of huanglongbing, a debilitating citrus disease, is widespread and vectored by Asian citrus psyllid.
