“…Thus, F. occidentalis showed a stronger suitability over T. hawaiiensis owing to its faster development, higher fecundity and higher r m and R 0 values, when fed on R. rugosa . However, the opposite trend was observed when the thrips were fed on Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis (Gentianales: Rubiaceae) (Cao et al, ). In addition, when the competitive interactions between F. occidentalis and other native thrip species from other geographical areas were analysed, F. occidentalis was found to be more competitive than Thrips tabaci (Linderman) in Europe and less competitive than Frankliniella tritici (Fitch) in the eastern United States (Atakan & Uygur, ; Northfield et al, ; Northfield, Paini, Reitz, & Funderburk, ; Paini et al, ).…”

“…These plants were grown in greenhouses in the nursery of the Department of Biology and Engineering of Environment, Guiyang University, Guizhou Province, China. The greenhouses were maintained free from insect pests by covering the vent openings with insect‐proof netting, and plants were cultivated without the application of pesticides (Cao et al, ). Flowers at anthesis with intact petals were collected from the R. rugosa plants for the laboratory experiments.…”

“…Thus, the developmental stage, from first instar to adult, was observed daily and juvenile survival was assessed every 12 hr, and 100 first instars of each species were used as the initial observation number. Newly emerged female and male adults were collected and paired, and thrips reproduction was measured as described by Zhang et al () and Cao et al (). In total, 25 pairs of each species were observed in this experiment.…”

“…Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan) is also a highly polyphagous insect found in Asia (Aliakbarpour & Salmah, ; Murai, ), Europe (Atakan, Ölçülü, Pehlivan, & Satar, ; Reynaud, Balmès, & Pizzol, ), and North America (Goldarazena, ). Both species share many ecological niches and biological characteristics, such as a similar body size (1–2 mm), short life history (more than 10 generations per year) and preference for feeding on plant flowers (Cao et al, ; Murai, ).…”

“…Thrips hawaiiensis is a native species usually found in the southern regions of China (Zhang, Fu, Liu, Qiu, & Wu, ). Currently, these two flower thrips are considered to be key pests that coexist on cultivated and wild host plants (Yuan, Zhi, Li, & Zhang, ; Zhang et al, ), especially on the flowers of commercially important plants in Guizhou Province, China (Cao et al, ).…”

Temperature fluctuations may influence the behaviour of insects. Frankliniella occidentalis and Thrips hawaiiensis are sympatric pests on flower and vegetable host plants in China. This study evaluated the influence of constant (23.0°C) and fluctuating temperatures (average of 23.0°C) on the population development of these two species. The results showed that both of these pests showed faster development and higher fecundity at a constant temperature than at fluctuating temperatures when fed on Rosa rugosa flowers, and F. occidentalis showed faster development and higher fecundity than T. hawaiiensis under both conditions. Under the constant and fluctuating temperatures, the development times from egg to adult were 9.57 and 10.62 day for F. occidentalis and 10.71 and 11.82 day for T. hawaiiensis, respectively. The total numbers of first instar nymph produced were 103.08 and 86.32 by F. occidentalis, 86.96 and 73.32 by T. hawaiiensis, under the constant and fluctuating temperatures, respectively, and a higher intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) (0.173 and 0.160) and R0 (46.31 and 36.86) were obtained in F. occidentalis compared with T. hawaiiensis (rm for 0.154 and 0.141 and R0 for 34.46 and 27.81, respectively). Our results indicate that the constant temperature had a positive effect on the population development of both F. occidentalis and T. hawaiiensis. Furthermore, F. occidentalis showed a stronger adaptability over T. hawaiiensis at both constant and fluctuating temperatures, according to its faster development and higher fecundity. These results may contribute to the better understanding of the biology of different thrip species, especially the interspecific competition between invasive and native thrips under the changing environment. These findings also provide basic data for the thrip pests control by using fluctuating temperatures.

BACKGROUND Differences in population densities of Frankliniella occidentalis among different plant species suggest a preference for particular hosts. Host plant volatiles are often involved in insect fitness. However, few studies have explored the interaction between flower volatiles and fitness. The host fitness of F. occidentalis for different flowers was assessed through field investigation, and the olfactory preference of thrips for flower volatiles was tested in the laboratory. RESULTS In the field study, 18 flower host plants were classified at four fitness levels by F. occidentalis. Olfactory tests showed that female F. occidentalis had significantly different preferences for different plant odours among the volatiles of the four tested flowers (each representing the four fitness levels), whereas male F. occidentalis did not. The relative response of F. occidentalis females to flower volatiles (Rosa rugosa > Dianthus caryophyllus > Gerbera jamesonii > Pelargonium hortorum) was consistent with the field performance of F. occidentalis. In total, 23, 29, 16 and 26 components were identified in the volatile profiles of R. rugosa, D. caryophyllus, G. jamesonii and P. hortorum, respectively. 3,5‐Dimethoxytoluene (24.94%), nonanal (30.42%), (E)‐3‐penten‐2‐one (52.31%) and zingiberene (29.88%) were the single most abundant components of the volatiles of R. rugosa, D. caryophyllus, G. jamesonii and P. hortorum, respectively. CONCLUSION Volatiles are important in attracting F. occidentalis to suitable hosts, and differences in the types and concentrations of volatile components among flowers may directly influence the olfactory responses and field performance of thrips. Potential attractants could be developed for integrated pest management programmes against this pest. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry
