UMass Amherst: Department of Plant, Soil, and Insect Sciences

The school year at UMass has concluded and those of us in the Department doing field research are now free to spend more time "out-standing in our field." Before summer claims all our attention, the editors wanted to send along a round up of news, some biosketches and comments sent in by alums, and a list of missing alums we would like to get back in touch with. (RVS, ed.)

If you are receiving a hard copy of this newsletter, but would like to get it sent via email, please send your email address to Eileen Harris at eileenh "at"ent.umass.edu. *

Yes, this has been a hard year financially at the University (did anyone out there have a banner year?) Overall, damage to the Department has been light (we lost one and a half clerical positions). But on the bright side, Department faculty members recently received several new, large grants (see below.) In addition, four of our graduate students received various dissertation improvement grants.

· Adam Porter received an NSF grant for $315,000.00 to conduct research on hybridization between species.

· Adam Porter, Dave Ferro and Mitch Baker received a USDA NRI grant for $185,000.00 to conduct research on the Colorado potato beetle's evolution of insecticide resistance.

· Ben Normark received a USDA NRI grant for $200,000.00 to compile a DNA database of scale insects.

· Roy Van Driesche received a USDA NRI grant for $120,000.00 to conduct research on the estimated host ranges of parasites by biological control introductions.

· Ben Normark will have a new post doc in his lab, supported by the University OEB Program (Organismal and Evolutionary Biology).

Anne Averill (cranberries) surged ahead by hiring three new graduate students.

Dave Ferro moved (June 14th) into new office and lab space that will provide him with a handicapped accessible lab in which to rebuild his program, which was disrupted by his stroke.

Joe Elkinton just returned after an invigorating sabbatical in New Zealand, where he will be collaborating on - what else? - a project on the role of mast in stimulating population growth of mice in the forest.

Renewal is the news in the Anne Averill lab. The lab building at the Cranberry Station in Wareham, MA, where her two Entomology labs are based, is undergoing major renovation. The work is ongoing and will continue through the summer. All the drilling, sawdust, and service interruptions (no power and no hood) will eventually result in all new wiring (so computers will not crash every time someone uses the microwave), central air conditioning, fire safety changes, and renovated hoods. However, the greatest renewal is in new blood--a total transfusion. I have three new graduate students who will begin in September 2002. Hopefully, I will detail their research successes in the next installment of this newsletter.

The search for IPM funding to replace the funds cut from the FY2002 state budget continues. Growers have urged the state legislature that the state IPM funding be restored and Bill Coli has recently submitted a grant to an outside agency to support a pilot project in wine grape IPM. Wine Grapes? Yes, Massachusetts (as well as Rhode Island and Connecticut) have substantial acreage of wine grapes and some of the vineyards have produced award-winning still and sparkling wines. In fact, one such (Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery Brut Cuvee) was selected to be served at the White House at special dinners. I don't know how it would go with barbecue and T-ball, but there's hope.

One of the UMass IPM Team members, Hillary Sandler, received the Outstanding Outreach Award for Professional Staff from the UMass College of Food and Natural Resources (soon to be renamed the College of Natural Resources and the Environment). Hillary, who is the Project Leader for the Cranberry IPM Project, received a nice cash award and a desktop weather station. Two other Entomology staff, Ruth Hazzard (2000), and Bill Coli (1999), previously captured this award.

Reg Coler and Andy Slocombe have completed a great interactive web site that Massachusetts' schools can use to develop custom IPM plans. Such plans are required in MA for schools to comply with the lyrically titled law "An Act to Protect Children and Families From Harmful Pesticides" (a.k.a. The Children and Families Protection Act), passed by the Legislature in 2000. If you haven't already, you should visit Reg and Andy's informational School IPM web site. The URL is: http://www.umass.edu/umext/schoolipm/. From there you will be able to link to the new interactive site when it is fully up on the state server. While you are surfing, visit the recently renovated IPM Program site as well. That can be found by pointing your browser to: http://www.umass.edu/umext/ipm/.

Another UMass Entomology IPM team member, Craig Hollingsworth, has completed a school IPM brochure in 9 languages (Chinese, Vietnamese, Khmer, English, Italian, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese) in order to reach the diverse ethnic populations in the state. This project is funded by a Region I EPA grant that Craig acquired a while back.

Craig has also worked with the New England Pest Management Association (NEPMA) on a program to recognize structural control professionals who practice integrated pest management. This past year with a grant from EPA, the NEPMA IPM Registry was begun. The registry is open to individual practitioners and to pest control businesses. The registry process involves training sessions, examinations and a review of records. Members receive materials to help educate the public and to promote their business. Currently 61 IPM practitioners and 24 businesses have completed the requirements for the IPM Registry.

Makiri Sei, a PhD student working in the OEB Program with Adam Porter, is studying the conservation biology of the maritime ringlet, a rare salt marsh butterfly that feeds on salt marsh grass along the coast of Canada. Maritime ringlets (Coenonympha tullia nipisiquit McDunnough) are related to a common species, the inornate ringlet butterflies, which are widespread in grasslands of North America and Eurasia.

Unlike its relatives, the immature stages of the maritime ringlet experience periodic tidal submergence. The maritime ringlet has an extremely limited distribution and was listed by Canada as federally endangered in 1997. Only a handful of populations exist in New Brunswick and Quebec surrounding the Chaleur Bay, although historically it may have had a wider distribution. The presently limited distribution may be due to aggressive manipulation of the salt marshes, including the building of dikes and ditches, grazing, exploitation for salt hay, and burning, all of which used to be prevalent in the northern Atlantic coast.

This butterfly also has another tie to our department. Reginald Webster, an alumnus of our department, was the first person to study the maritime ringlet populations in New Brunswick in depth. He monitors maritime ringlet populations annually, and he also took part in successful reintroduction projects of the maritime ringlet in the Acadian Peninsula, New Brunswick.

The maritime ringlet is univoltine. The flight season is from late July to mid August, about a month later than the inornate ringlet. Eggs are laid on dead grass blades at the base of salt grass (Spartina patens) in the high marsh, hatching in seven to ten days. Larvae feed on young shoots of S. patens until mid September, when they diapause as the second instar. They overwinter at the base of saltgrass tufts under ice, and resume growth in late May of the following year when S. patens also starts growing.

Makiri is studying a maritime ringlet population at Daly Point Natural Reserve, Bathurst, New Brunswick, with support from the provincial Species at Risk Program. She found that there are profound differences in the survival rates of young larvae among subtly different microhabitats in the marsh. She is now studying the prospective causes of differential larval mortality, including predation and their physiological tolerance to submergence in salt water during high tides. She is also studying how adults move and use their habitat during the day, all of which will provide useful information in the identification and management of critical maritime ringlet habitat.

John Stoffolano is putting his class, Using Insects in the Classroom and Outdoor Setting, online. Last semester, he had 27 students taking the course. Ten of these students were part of an Eisenhower grant "Investigating Insects--Inquiry and Hands-on Science Online." Nine others were graduate students from on campus who are getting their master's degree in science education and the rest were undergraduate students who plan to enter the teaching profession.

The teachers participating in the Eisenhower grant are from various parts of Massachusetts, including Martha's Vineyard. One of the major goals of the grant is to have the teachers take the course and provide feedback as to whether the course is designed to meet the needs of teachers or prospective teachers. In addition, they will help Dr. Stoffolano redesign the course.

The course consists of 2 CD's that contain twelve 1-hour videos about insects, featuring projects with public school teachers and children. Students use a workbook that contains one session for each video. They watch the video and take an online quiz using the OWL (online web-based learning) program developed here at the University. This takes at least one hour.

The other part of the course is online and consists of 10 units that start with "What is living?" and takes them through the orders, arthropods, and systems of the insect. Students receive preserved grasshoppers and live ladybugs in the mail and must purchase crickets at a pet shop to do an experiment on cold-blooded animals using ice.

My feeling to date is that we can do everything online that we can do in the traditional classroom. Most importantly, the students have to actively become involved in the learning process. My graduate student, Aaron Haselton, assists in the OWL program while Colleen Kelley from the Hitchcock Center helps in the frameworks aspects and collecting materials for the students to read using the electronic reserve readings that the main library provides. So far, the reports back from the students have been extremely positive.

Roy Van Driesche continues to work on a project to see if biocontrol agents (braconid wasps) introduced to suppress a pest butterfly (Pieris rapae) are affecting native butterflies. Based on work done in his lab since 1997, there is now evidence that a braconid parasitoid (Cotesia glomerata) introduced in the 1880s as a biocontrol agent to control cabbage butterfly has caused a related native butterfly (Pieris napi) to disappear from part of its range (southern New England).

He has worked on this with an NSF grant and an MS student, Jessica Benson, who did much of the field research. 2002 is the final year of the grant and there is one final, but critical, field experiment going in western Massachusetts and northern Vermont, in which Van Driesche is rearing lab Pieris napi larvae (the native species whose range has decreased) in field cages and measuring the rate of diapause in the resulting pupae.

The project's hypothesis is that this butterfly survives in northern VT because many first generation pupae go into diapause, but fewer do so in western MA (in both locations there is almost no survival of second generation larvae, which develop in meadows where the parasitoid occurs. Survival is high in the first generation because it occurs in the woods, where the parasitoid does not forage for hosts).

This is the third year to try this experiment. In the last two years, the MA part of the experiment was ruined by animals (mice? bears?) that tore up the cages. So this year they built "fort butterfly," a 10 x 20 x 8 foot cage, dug two feet into the ground and covered completely with ¼ inch hardware cloth! As of June 6, the experiment is working. We dodged the bullet last week when a thunderstorm swept through and toppled large trees within 20 feet of the cage, but thankfully missing it! With a little more luck, this third effort will succeed.

Also, this line of work will continue, as Van Driesche just received news that he has been awarded a USDA-NRI grant to use this system to study factors affecting the accuracy of laboratory tests to estimate field host ranges of parasitoids being introduced for biological control.

In the last four months since the first newsletter, Chih Yin has continued a quest to identify new hormones in Phormia regina (the queen blow fly) that are important to the regulation of oogenesis. Taking advantage of some new methods he learned on his sabbatical, he is setting up his laboratory to do DNA sequencing and affinity hormone purification experiments. The sequencing experiments will take advantage of the campus-wide DNA sequencing facility that has an excellent turn around time of only 2 days. We expect the sequences from this work will point out the right direction for our next experiments. The affinity purification experiments take advantage of the Dynal Beads technology and the antibodies have been raised against the Manduca sexta allatotropin and the Phormia regina midgut hormone. He expects to purify enough of the Manduca sexta allatotropin and the Phormia regina midgut hormone from the queen blow fly to run chemical analyses on these hormones.

Over the past few months we have begun to investigate how the virus Hz-2V modifies the reproductive physiology and behavior of H. zea moths. This work has led us to the wind tunnel and in the last couple of weeks we have begun to learn the idiosyncrasies of one of Ring's old wind tunnels. Anyone who has used this wind tunnel for their research knows what I mean. We've found the fan in the tunnel to be a bit temperamental and that it can run both forward and backward. We also found out what happens to the moths when you run it backwards. In our first experiment all the moths escaped. Armed with duct tape, which we found is an important component of the wind tunnel, we were able to solve that problem and have moved ahead.

Our results so far look encouraging; however, it is too early to tell what it all means. We have reason to believe that virus infection alters the amount of pheromone that females produce and we are interested in starting a collaboration to look at the amount and composition of pheromone virus infected females produce.

We have also become interested in the mating behavior of H. zea and are examining if the behavior of virus-infected females is any different than that of normal females. All this work is just the beginning of unraveling the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in this unique virus-host interaction.

The big news in my lab recently is that we have just landed a world-class post-doc. Geoff Morse comes to us from Brian Farrell's lab in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard, where he is presently completing his Ph.D. thesis on "Ecological and evolutionary diversification in the seed beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae): Analyses at multiple levels."

In 2000, Geoff won the President's Prize for the best student presentation at the ESA meeting in Montreal and in 2001 he won the Ernst Mayr prize for the best student presentation at the annual meeting of the Society of Systematic Biologists. Here at UMass, Geoff has just accepted this year's Darwin Fellowship from the Graduate Program in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. Geoff and I will be collaborating on studies of local adaptation and origins of clonal lineages in the oystershell scale complex (Diaspididae: Lepidosaphes ulmi).

My Masters work concentrated on the metabolic residues of pesticides in animals and how to measure them. Dissertation concerned the effects of high levels of pesticides on the estrogen metabolism and excretion of birds. These dysfunctions were later shown by others to be the mechanism for thin egg shells in raptorial birds (My work just pre-dated the discovery of thin egg shells).

Nice to know that someone has started a newsletter. I retired from USDA-ARS in 1995, and wouldn't consider moving from the Rocky Mountains for any rational reason that immediately comes to mind. After retirement, my wife (Joyce) and I purchased a motor home and spent the next five years living in it and traveling the country. Unfortunately, my wife passed away just 2 years ago, and my motivation to travel without a co-pilot is very low. Now I hunt, fish, hike, and pick up trash in the National Forests near Laramie.

After graduate school at UMass, my first job was in Hawaii, then Florida (both doing research on ecology and control of tephritid fruit flies). I then went to Maine, where I worked on control of aphids as vectors of virus diseases of potatoes. When that lab (at Orono) closed, I moved on to Denver (Arthropod-borne Animal Diseases Research Laboratory), and then, when the lab there was moved, I wound up in Laramie. In both these latter assignments, I worked on ecology and control of vector-borne diseases of livestock, with particular emphasis on bluetongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease viruses of ruminants, carried by culicoid midges. We also worked on other vector-borne pathogens, such as vesicular stomatitis and encephalitis, particularly when there were outbreaks in the U.S. Since retirement, I have maintained a continuing appointment with the ABADRL here in Laramie, providing consultation and support wherever I can. My particular emphasis has been on the ecology and control of vector populations, although my last research effort was on resolution of the Culicoides variipennis complex using starch gel electrophoresis. After all those years of being a field man, that much lab time drove me into retirement!

Anyway, I'd be glad to hear from any of the old gang that were around Fernald Hall during the time I was there (1961-67).

My great pleasure receiving and reading the Alum News from UMass Entomology. I was a Ph.D. student with Dr. Prokopy. My current position: (Aug. 2000 - present) is as an Extension Specialist/Assist. Professor in Structural and Household Insects, and School IPM coordinator in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology at Auburn University. Before moving to Auburn, I was an Extension Assistant Specialist with LSU.

I received my BS in Entomology at in 1978 and my MS in 1982 and worked in the department till 1991. I completed my PhD in Entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and I'm currently an ecologist for the US Geological Survey Biological Resources Division station at the Kilauea Field Station of the Pacific Island Ecosystems Research Center located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I serve as a vector ecologist working on four projects involving introduced mosquito-borne disease that threaten the endemic forest birds of Hawaii. This research is funded by the National Park Service, NIH and NSF and ranges from assessing risk and developing control measures to the complex modeling of disease systems. Facilities at the field station are slightly better than the UMass apiary and library services are an island away but the view a hundred meters from my office is one of a kind. Aloha.

Received newsletter dated January 2002. Send future copies by E-mail. Retired from UVM in 94. Still working with Carol Lauzon on research dealing with Trephitds and their attraction to a microbial volatiles.

My daughter Chaya graduated UMass and next year my youngest daughter, Katie-Rose, will enroll in the UMass pre-med program. I am still a theatre teacher and dentist. Last year I was inducted into the Educational Theatre Association's Hall of Fame in ceremonies in Washington DC.

It is 65 years since I took C.P. Alexander's Ent. 26 and more than 20 years since retirement with burn-out from what is now Urban Pest Management. But I can still visualize Fernald Hall including basement and attic where I spent many hours and the Apiary where I lived for a couple of years.

I received my M.S. in entomology in 1996 under Dr. John Edman. I received my Ph.D. this year from the Department of Parasitology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Thesis title: Leishmania major myoinhibiting peptide: isolation and function in the vector sand fly Phlebotomus papatasi. I will begin my postdoc in May with Dr. Fotis Kafatos at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, and in October transfer to the lab of Dr. Jules Hoffmann at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Strasbourg, France. I will work on gene expression of immune peptides in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae during different stages of infection with the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

I am a graduate (class of 1975) of the Entomology Department. I also went back (nights) and earned my MBA degree @ U-Mass in 1996. In 1976 myself and fellow UMass grad. Paul DeBettencourt started Minuteman Pest Control Co. Our business is located in Northampton. Since our inception, we have always taken an "integrated" approach to managing pests. Its great to now see the industry is following these practices. Our company provides pest management services (including problem wildlife) to residential and commercial customers throughout Western Massachusetts.

Two years ago Reg Coler asked me to serve on his School IPM Advisory Board to help implement/interpret the new State regulation with the schools in Massachusetts. We are members of the New England and National Pest Management Associations. I was on the Board of Directors of the New England Pest Management Association for several years.

After 25 years, I could keep going but I think this should give you an idea of my life "post graduation". It's nice to see you doing this if you have anymore questions or would like to talk, please give me a call.

News from here is retired full time. Bill Rose comes to visit us once a year. Job wise I was appointed consular warden for this region (by the way Davidou, the Ambassador to Mexico and a UMass grad visited us here and stayed with us; nice to recall the drake, Johnny Green Shumways etc.). Still fishing - mainly tuna but also some mahi mahi and bill fish. I do a great deal of entertaining live on a canal front property, so it's a never-ending job to maintain the house. In a capsule this is it. Please invite my UMass colleagues to visit us here on the west coat of Mexico. saludos amigos, Ziener .
