Bemisia: Bionomics and Management of a Global Pest
Bemisia tabaci (Gennedius) has distinguished itself from the more than 1000 whitefly species in the world by it adaptability, persistence and potential to damage a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops in all six of the world’s inhabited cont

This book is dedicated to Dr. Jacquelyn (Jackie) L. Blackmer (1954–2008), a coauthor of Chapter 5 and a renowned entomologist in the field of insect behavior, insect-plant interactions, and insect dispersal and migration. During postdoctoral work at The University of Arizona and her most recent tenure with the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service in Arizona she made numerous advances in understanding the behavior, physiology and ecology of Bemisia tabaci. Dr. Blackmer conducted some of the first and still the most comprehensive studies on the migratory and short-range flight behavior of Bemisia tabaci including the role of environment, physiology, morphology, life history and host quality. She advanced our understanding of host quality factors in whitefly life history, developed an artificial diet system, and examined the flight behavior of whitefly parasitoids. She was a tireless, innovative and inspirational researcher as well as being a generous collaborator, colleague and friend to all with whom she worked. Her significant contributions to entomology will be long remembered and will continue to inspire advances in whitefly biology, ecology and management.
