Whiteflies (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) comprise tiny phloem-sucking insects. The sessile
development of their immatures and their phloem-feeding habits (with minimal physical plant …

This chapter covers three diverse topics: whitefly anatomy, feeding behavior, and courtship
and mating. In previous volumes of the Bemisia series (Gerling 1990; Gerling and Mayer …

Laboratory bioassays were conducted to determine host plant effect on pathogenicity of the
entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuill.(Ascomycota: Hypocreales) …

The identification of whitefly species in adult stage is problematic. Morphological
differentiation of pupae is one of the better methods for determining identity of species, but it …

In a persuasive essay on the promise of developmental evolution, Wagner (2000) argued
that this synthetic discipline can make a unique explanatory contribution to evolutionary …

Relationships within the Aleyrodinae are investigated phylogenetically through a cladistic
analysis of 94 (70 binary and 24 multistate) morphological characters derived from the pupal …

The economic importance of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius)(Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) is mainly
due to its wide host range, variable kinds of damage, and great intraspecific variation. The …

We determined host plant effect on susceptibility of whitefly Bemisia tabaci to the
entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana under controlled conditions. Insects were …

Nymphal setosity of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) has
been reported to be induced by mechanical stimuli such as leaf tomentosity, and related to …

Invasion ecology tends to treat taxonomic groups separately. However, given that all
invasive species go through the same stages of the invasion process (transport, escape …
