The species of aphidiines found to have a significantly different preference for A. gossypii were Aphidius colemani Viereck, Aphidius matricariae Haliday, Diaeretiella rapae (M{\textquoteright}Intosh), Ephedrus persicae Froggat, Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson), Binodoxys acalephae (Marshall) and Binodoxys angelicae (Haliday). In another sampling experiment, the relative abundance of aphidiine parasitoids on aphids infesting orange and tangerine trees was studied in southern Greece (Nea Kios) in 1996 and 1997. A. gossypii constituted the largest part of the aphid population and was the only species parasitized. B. angelicae and A. colemani were the most abundant parasitoid species. The parasitization rate differed among the parasitoid species. B. angelicae had the highest colonization rate in centrally located and large host (A. gossypii) groups, whereas A. colemani was found in more isolated and relatively small host groups. The percentage of parasitism by B. angelicae was high mainly in large host groups, when B. angelicae was the only parasitoid present. However, in cases of coexistence of B. angelicae with A. colemani with hyperparasitoids, in the same sampling unit, the percentage of parasitism was relatively low.}, keywords = {Aphidiinae, Aphis gossypii, Citrus species, density dependence, Hyperparasitoids, isolation}, author = {Nikolaos G.

In an insecticide-free tobacco field in Tithorea (Fthiotis, C Greece) tobacco leave samples were taken from June until September, for two growing seasons (1996-1997). The aphidophagous coccinellids Hippodamia (Semiadalia) undecimnotata, Adalia bipunctata, Adonia variegata, Propylaea quatuordecimpunctata and Coccinella septempunctata, and the parasitoids Aphidius colemani, Aphidius ervi, Aphidius matricariae, Praon staryi and Praon volucre were recorded. Hippodamia undecimnotata was observed in higher numbers than the other coccinellids whereas Praon volucre was the dominant parasitoid during both years of the study. The hyperparasitoid spectrum was composed of Asaphes spp., Pachyneuron spp. and Syrphophagus aphidivorus with Pachyneuron spp. being the most abundant during both years. Generally, for both seasons, high M. persicae densities were recorded in July and August (mid-season) while most coccinellid individuals were found rather early in the season (June-July). On the other hand, the mummification rate showed a specific increasing trend late in the season (August-September). Furthermore, when the effect of coccinellids on mummies of M. persicae in the field was studied, it was observed that an increase in the number of destroyed mummies was accompanied by a decrease in the number of uneaten mummies.}, keywords = {aphid, Greece, Homoptera, Myzus persicae, Parasitoids, Predators}, author = {Nikolaos G.

The experiments took place in western Greece (Agrinion, Aitoloakarnania), during the 1996 and 1997 growing seasons, in an area of approximately 2.5 ha, where tobacco was the main crop. The experimental field was insecticide-free and tobacco leaf samples (from the upper and lower half of plants) were taken from June until September, in both years. The distribution of the species found was also represented and discussed. Generally, high M. persicae densities were recorded in August (mid-season) of both seasons. The mummification rate showed a specific increasing trend late in the season (August-September). In 1996, the percentage of mummification reached almost 61\% at the end of the period, whereas in 1997 it remained at very low levels (<2\%). The density of M. persicae was higher on the leaves collected from the upper part of the plants than on those from the lower part, but without significant difference. In contrast, the numbers of mummified M. persicae individuals were significantly higher on leaves collected from the lower part of the plants than on those from the upper part in both years.

Greuter and Rubus ulmifolius Schott as reservoirs of aphid parasitoids was investigated. In the field studies conducted, D. viscosa grew adjacent to crops of durum wheat and barley and R. ulmifolius grew adjacent to cotton. The relative abundance of the parasitoids of (a) Capitophorus inulae (Passerini) on D. viscosa, (b) Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus) on durum wheat and barley, (c) Aphis ruborum (Bo?rner) on R. ulmifolius, and (d) Aphis gossypii Glover on cotton in various parts of Greece, was assessed during the years 1996-2000. In 2000, the fluctuation of parasitization of the above four aphid species was recorded and the action of the aphidophagous predators of the family Coccinellidae was studied. It was observed that Aphidius matricariae Haliday predominated on C. inulae and R. padi in all sampling cases. In contrast, Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshall) was the dominant species parasitizing A. ruborum on R. ulmifolius and A. gossypii on cotton in Thessaly (central Greece) and Macedonia (northern Greece), whereas Lysiphlebus confusus Tremblay et Eady and Binodoxys acalephae (Marshall) were the dominant parasitoid species in Thrace (northern Greece). Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus was the most abundant coccinellid species on durum wheat, whereas Adonia variegata (Goeze) predominated on cotton. However, coccinellid individuals were scarce on both D. viscosa and R. ulmifolius.

Thus, in a cotton field (1.1 ha) in central Greece, 45 leaves were collected (one leaf per cotton plant) at 10-day intervals from May to September, for four consecutive growing seasons (1995-98). Five species of thrips were found: Frankliniella intonsa was the most abundant species followed by Thrips angusticeps, Thrips tabaci, Frankliniella occidentalis and Aeolothrips intermedius. Although considerable differences were observed in the population fluctuations among species, the highest population densities, for all species found, were recorded in July and August. As indicated by Taylor{\textquoteright}s power law estimates, all species presented aggregated distribution among sampling units. As this type of spatial pattern indicates, the accuracy obtained in estimating mean population density increased with the increase of the mean. Furthermore, the increase of the mean caused an exponential decrease in sample size.

The wheat was stored in a 1.5-m-deep bulk from June 2001 until March 2002. The samples were taken with a partitioned grain trier during the entire storage period, at 10-d intervals. The trier samples were examined separately for the upper, medial, and lower 0.5 m of the bulk. The spatial distribution of the insect and mite species found was examined by contour analysis based on the numbers of individuals in the trier samples. Nine insect and 20 mite taxa were found during the sampling period. The most abundant insect species were Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens), and Rhyzopertha dominica (F.); the most abundant mite species were Lepidoglyphus destructor (Schrank), Acarus siro L., and the predator Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans. The highest population densities for the majority of the insect and mite species were recorded during autumn. The majority of the individuals of the most abundant insect and mite species were found in the upper 0.5 m of the bulk, with the exception of C. malaccensis, which was equally distributed in the upper and medial 0.5 m of the bulk. The spatiotemporal distribution during the entire experimental period was notably varied according to the insect and mite species. {\textcopyright} 2005 Entomological Society of America.}, keywords = {General, Grain trier, Spatiotemporal distribution, stored wheat, STORED-PRODUCT INSECTS, Stored-product mites}, author = {Athanassiou, C.G. and Nikolaos G.

From an untreated tobacco field in Tithorea (central Greece), tobacco leaves were collected from the upper and the lower half of the plants from June until September, in 1999 and 2000. The numbers of M. costalis and M. persicae individuals per leaf were counted. Most aphids were observed during July and August (early and mid season), with densities dropping markedly in September. In contrast, M. costalis population densities increased late in the season (September). Significantly higher numbers of aphids were found on the upper half of the plants than on the lower half. In contrast, significantly more M. costalis individuals were observed on the lower half. Iwao{\textquoteright}s Regression Analysis was used in order to characterize the spatial pattern of the two species. According to this model, in both sampling seasons, aphids and M. costalis nymphs displayed an aggregated spatial pattern, while M. costalis adults were found to be randomly distributed among sampling units. Although more M. costalis individuals were recorded on leaves with relatively high aphid densities, this species did not react numerically to changes in prey density.

The material was examined in order to determine the presence and relative abundance of mites in stored seed cotton and its products: cotton fiber, cottonseed and cotton gin trash. Twenty-two mite taxa were found, with the predominance of mite species on each type of stored commodity differing significantly. Fifteen taxa were recorded in seed cotton, where the most abundant species were Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank) and Tarsonemus waitei Banks. In contrast, only four species were found in cotton fiber, with T. putrescentiae being the dominant one. Nine taxa were recorded in the cottonseed samples, where the most abundant species was by far Lepidoglyphus destructor (Schrank). Caloglyphus sp. was the most abundant species in cotton gin trash, where a total of 13 taxa were found. Most mites were found in gin trash, followed by cottonseed and seed cotton; very few mites were detected in cotton fiber.}, keywords = {Acari, Cotton fiber, Cottonseed, Gin trash, Greece, mites, Stored cotton}, author = {Athanassiou, C.G. and Palyvos, N.E. and Eliopoulos, P.A. and Papadoulis, G.T.} }
