Ovipositional Preferences of Diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Female Diaprepes abbreviatus L. were presented with immature citrus leaves, mature citrus leaves, and doubled strips of various substances as potential oviposition sites. In both the laboratory and in caged outdoor experiments more egg masses were deposited between freezer paper strips than between mature leaves.

Development of Diaprepes abbreviatus on Potted Citrus Seedlings
Adult Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) were recovered from citrus seedlings 132 through 168 days after infestation of the plants with 0- to 24-hour old larvae. Pupae were recovered 98 through 238 days after infestation. The number of larval instars could not be determined from the frequency distribution curves of head capsule measurements.

Vagility and Probability of Survival in Two Weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionidae): the sugarcane rootstalk borer weevil (Diaprepes abbreviatus [L.]) and the sweet potato weevil (Cylas formicarius [F.]) [PDF]
The sugarcane rootscalk weevil borer Diaprepes abbreviates (L.) moves freely among numerous plant hosts within Puertorican agroecosystems. The sweet potato weevil, on the contrary, appears circumscribed to the family Convolvulaceae.

Subterranean, herbivore-induced plant volatile increases biological control activity of multiple beneficial nematode species in distinct habitats. [PDF]
While the role of herbivore-induced volatiles in plant-herbivore-natural enemy interactions is well documented aboveground, new evidence suggests that belowground volatile emissions can protect plants by attracting entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs ...

Predators of Diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larvae
Larvae of Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) in petri dishes were susceptible to predation on the soil surface in a citrus grove. An average of 47% were removed by predators in the first 20 minutes in a 1979 study to determine rates of predation. Predators (2,613 recorded events) were exclusively ants in the grove studied, with the exceptions of 2 predation ...

Sources of Resistance to Diaprepes Weevil in Subfamily Aurantiodeae, Rutaceae [PDF]
Commercially used citrus rootstocks can all be seriously damaged by larvae of the sugar cane root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.). Six greenhouse challenge experiments were used to compare the resistance of 24 selections of citrus rootstocks and related species to this weevil by measuring ...
