Association between ovipositional preferences and offspring fitness in Hessian fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

Ganehiarachchi G.A.S.M.; Harris, M.O. (Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Science, 2013)
Fitness consequences of selecting young leaves for oviposition in the Hessian fly

Ganehiarachchi G.A.S.M.; Harris, M.O. (Entomological Society of America, Cincinnati, Ohio., 2003)

As well selecting particular genotypes for oviposition, female Hessian flies select particular sites within an individual host plant. The youngest leaves of the wheat plant typically receive the greatest numbers of eggs. ...
Occurrence and Parasitism of Sitodiplosis mosellana (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in North Dakota

Knodel, J.J.; Ganehiarachchi G.A.S.M.; Kirk, A.; Harris, M.O. (Entomological Society of America, San Diego,California, 2007)
Oviposition behavior of orange wheat blossom midge on low – versus high ranked grass heads

Ganehiarachchi G.A.S.M.; Harris, M.O. (Entomological Society of America, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 2005)

The wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Géhan) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is a serious pest of wheat in North America, Europe, and China. Adult females oviposit on the modified leaves of the seed head. Larvae hatch and ...
Why Oviposit There? Fitness Consequences of a Gall Midge Choosing the Plant’s Youngest Leaf

Ganehiarachchi G.A.S.M.; Anderson, K.M.; Harmon, J.; Harris, M.O. (Environmental Entomology, 2013)

For animals that lay eggs, a longstanding question is, why do females choose particular oviposition sites? For insects that lay eggs on plants there are three hypotheses: maximizing suitable habitat for juveniles, maximizing ...
