Abstract The underlying influences of soil flooding, pH level and soil-inhabiting Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) root weevil larval feeding in citrus were examined in two separate greenhouse studies, rootstock × flooding × Diaprepes-larvae (RFD) and liming × rootstock × flooding × Diaprepes-larvae (LRFD).

Inducible defenses in herbivore-plant interactions: functions mechanisms and manipulations [PDF]
In the ecological context of insect-plant interactions, the interdependence of each other is important for their survival in complex ecosystem. Insect herbivores locate suitable host plants that can provide better resources for food and reproduction.

Synthesis of insect and soil variable patterns in space and time via process models would be useful for reducing the cost of field monitoring and for achieving improved integrated pest management. During 2001–2003, we monitored the Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) root weevil population in a flatwoods citrus grove containing a sandy Alfisol and a loamy ...

Ecology and Evolution of Soil Nematode Chemotaxis [PDF]
Plants influence the behavior of and modify community composition of soil-dwelling organisms through the exudation of organic molecules. Given the chemical complexity of the soil matrix, soil-dwelling organisms have evolved the ability to detect and ...
