4 4 yrs aphid sampling in adjacent prairie vs. row crop habitats Favret & Voegtlin. 2001. Migratory aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) habitat selection in agricultural & adjacent natural habitats. Env Entomol 30(2):371-379 167 aphids captured 15m 1,442 aphids captured

5 Observations in 2010 Large differences in weed management practices  relationship with aphid alightment rates?

6 Variations in Surrounding Landscapes

7 1) How does within-field weed cover affect aphid alightment on a local scale? 2) How do large-scale landscape features affect aphid alightment? Questions 3) How do the above factors influence the occurrence of virus infection(s) in fields?

8 Measure of Aphid Alightment  Weekly Alate Counts

15 Landscape Analysis Radii 1-5 km

16 Nearby source populations? Aphid species regressions with host crops w/in 1-5 km radii

18 2010, 1 km Bird cherry-oat aphid Corn leaf aphid

19 Both Large- and Local-Scale Factors Associated with Aphid Alightment Weed cover negatively correlated with aphid alightment, with some cover/m 2 threshold likely Some evidence for surrounding crops acting as source pools, especially within 1-2 km  How do aphid community assemblages vary in response to landscape compositions?

20 Next Steps to Address Question 3: How does local- and landscape-level variation among fields influence virus infection(s) occurrence? Develop m-RT-PCR assay to detect CMV, WMV, PRSV, ZYMV in tissue samples Assay pumpkin & weed leaf samples collected from 2010 & 2011 Analyze relationship of virus presence/absence by field with weed cover, surrounding landscape composition & weed species composition
