Two Muscardine Fungi Pathogenic to Diaprepes Abbreviatus
The Florida Entomologist, 1972 In the laboratory, the fungus Metarrhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin infected 6.7% of the adults and none of the larvae of the so-called sugarcane rootstalk borer weevil, Diaprepres abbreviatus (L.). In contrast, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin infected 92.7% of the adults within 7 days and 76.9% of the larvae within 12 days.

Subterranean, herbivore-induced plant volatile increases biological control activity of multiple beneficial nematode species in distinct habitats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 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 ...

Ovipositional Preferences of Diaprepes abbreviatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
The Florida Entomologist, 1998 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.
