A Computer Simulation Model of Waterhyacinth and Weevil Interactions [PDF]
A personal computer simulation model termed INSECT has been developed to evaluate biological control of waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.) by two species of weevil (Neochetina eichhorniae Warner, and N. bruchi Hustache).

Emergence Patterns of Delia radicum (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) Populations from North Carolina and New York [PDF]
Cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.), populations from North Carolina (Fletcher and Scaly Mountain) and New York (Geneva and Highland) were surveyed to detect differences in the emergence pattern of flies from overwintered pupae.

Is diapause an ancient adaptation in Drosophila? [PDF]
D. melanogaster enters a state of reproductive arrest when exposed to low temperatures (12 °C) and shorter photoperiods. A number of studies have suggested that diapause has recently evolved in European D. melanogaster populations, that it is not present

Geographical analysis of diapause inducibility in European Drosophila melanogaster populations [PDF]
Seasonal overwintering in insects represents an adaptation to stressful environments and in European Drosophila melanogaster females, low temperatures and short photoperiods can induce an ovarian diapause. Diapause may represent a recent (

Ecophysiological consequences of variability in diapause intensity
application/pdf Diapause intensity (DI) is a physiological trait represented by the duration of diapause under given conditions of environment. In many species, it is highly variable, probably being controlled by multiple genes and tends to form a cline in response to the latitudinal gradient of selection pressure.

This study was carried out to evaluate the diapause intensity in Phytomyza orobanchia Kalt. (Diptera, Agromyzidae) in faba bean fields in Alexandria, Egypt. Several visits were carried out in faba bean seasons of 2021 and 2022 during January, February, March and April (cool to warm temperature) to collect spicks from faba bean fields infested by ...

Southern Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Adult Emergence and Population Growth Assessment After Selection With Vacuolar ATPase-A double-stranded RNA Over Multiple Generations [PDF]
The southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), was exposed over multiple generations to vacuolar (v)ATPase-A double-stranded (ds)RNA, first as adults and later, as neonate larvae. During adult selection,
