A taxonomic update of the genus Clavija (Theophrastaceae) in Colombia and Ecuador
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Two species of Clavija are described as new to science: C. neivea (Department Huila Colombia), which is similar to C. pungens (Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) Decne. of coastal Ecuador, but distinguished by its chiefly elliptic leaf blades with less serrate margins and 4‐merous flowers; C. zamorae (Prov.

Field trials to attract questing stages of brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus using tick pheromone–acaricide complex [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2012 Evaluations were made to assess the efficacy of assembly pheromone, attractant sex pheromone and the kairomone carbon dioxide in attracting the questing larval nymphal and adult stages of the brown ear dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Ticks attracted to one location were killed using the acaricide deltamethrin. Initially, simulated field trials were
