- Abstract
The current investigation describes the capture of Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri, in an unexpected ecosystem, the Lake Kissimmee State Park forest. In this forest, occurrence of citrus is particularly rare, and no Rutaceae were found within the trapping locations or in nearby (..500 m) areas. In addition to trap capture data, complementary laboratory no-choice feeding bioassays suggest that ACP may have a broader alternative plant feeding range than previously thought, which may allow for significant dispersal even through dense forests in Florida up to 2.3 km from large-area plantings of citrus.
