Abstract A genetic linkage map was constructed from an intraspecific cross of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. This is an initial step toward mapping the loci that underlie important phenotypes associated with insect adaptation to an agroecosystem. The map was made with 172 AFLP and 10 anonymous codominant markers segregating among 74 backcross (BC1) individuals. Markers were mapped to 18 linkage groups and a subset of the markers with a mean intermarker distance of 11.1 cM is presented. A pyrethroid-resistance candidate gene, LdVssc1, was placed onto the map as well. The sex chromosome was identified by exploiting the XO nature of sex determination in this species using patterns of variation at LdVssc1 and the codominant markers.

Experimental Plots

The phenology and damage potential of the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) were studied in the potato producing area in southern Alberta. Experimental plots were established at Lethbridge in 1998, 1999 and 2000, and at Vauxhall in 1998 and 1999. At each site, one plot was protected against the beetle by application of insecticides while the other was "unprotected." Natural potato beetle populations quickly colonized unprotected plots each year. Overwintered adults appeared in plots by mid June with mean densities reaching between 0.3 and 0.6 per plant. Eggs were laid on young plants with mean densities reaching two egg masses per plant by late June. Maximum larval densities reached 9.5 per plant for each of 1st, 2nd and 3rd instars and 14 per plant for 4th instars. Maximum density for newly emerged adults was 57 per plant in mid-July at the 2000 Lethbridge unprotected plot. Defoliation was very low at the beginning of the season but increased sharply when 3rd and 4th instar populations peaked and continued to rise as new adults emerged. Maximum defoliation occurred at the Lethbridge plot in 2000 with 100% defoliation by 10 August. Total yields in all unprotected plots ranged from 10 to 40% lower than in the protected plots. Mean density of overwintering adults within potato plots was 76 beetles m-2 with a maximum of 232 m-2. Mean overwintering mortality was 22% and mean depth of overwintering adults was 12 cm, with 63% of the beetles collected at depths ≤ 10 cm. Our results indicate that the phenology of the beetle is similar to that reported in areas where population buildups were rapid and devastating soon after insecticide resistant populations appeared. Consequently the beetle must be considered as a serious threat to potato production in southern Alberta.

AbstractThe recent introduction of the concept of refuge areas for the management of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae), on resistant potato highlighted the existence of important gaps in our knowledge and understanding of this pest's movement within and between habitats. The objective of this review is to synthesize the information available for the benefit of crop managers and to identify subject areas in need of additional research. A traditional, somewhat encyclopedic, review of the old and recent literature on research methods, basics of flight and walking, as well as abiotic and biotic conditions for dispersal, revealed a considerable volume of information accumulated since the early 1900s. There is a consensus on the role of abiotic factors on flight and walking, but a better understanding of the biotic factors will be required before the variability of the dispersal response can be fully explained or predicted. Cybernetic models of orientation proposed in the literature were pulled together into a schematic representation of the orientation process in walking L. decemlineata. The model begins the integration of the different conditions and underlying suggested mechanisms responsible for the orientation of the walking beetle. There is remarkably little information on the orientation of potato beetles during flight. Finally, the seasonality of walking and flight dispersal is reviewed in relation to the host habitat and overwintering sites.
