Influence of Hydroprene on Caribbean Fruit Fly Suitability for Parasite Development
Onset of the critical period (with respect to pupation) for larvae of Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) was associated with decreased success in parasitization by the endoparasite, Biosteres (= Opius) longicaudatus Ashmead. A significantly greater proportion of adults emerged from hosts parasitized during the pre-critical period (94.1%) than from hosts ...

The phagostimulation and reproductive effects of individual essential amino acids, without other nutrient except fructose, were investigated. Methionine, Arginine and Leucine display significantly higher phagostimulation strength than fructose. Arginine and Methionine showed a significant improvement in reproductive activity compared to other tested ...
