Phosphine‐induced walking response of the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica)
AbstractBACKGROUND: In spite of the intensive worldwide use of phosphine against stored‐product insects, its potential sublethal effects on targeted insect species is seldom recognised and may compromise the efficacy of this fumigant, particularly against phosphine‐resistant insects.

Responses to colour and host odour cues in three cereal pest species, in the context of ecology and control [PDF]
Many insects show a greater attraction to multimodal cues, e.g. odour and colour combined, than to either cue alone. Despite the potential to apply the knowledge to improve control strategies, studies of multiple stimuli have not been undertaken for ...

Study of mating effect, hosts range and competition with the parasitoid Bracon hebetor on some behavioral and biological aspects of larval parasitoid Goniosus sp [PDF]
Laboratory studies was conducted to investigate effect of mating behavior on egg laying, host selection and competition with Bracon hebetor. The results showed that no differences in mating and egg laying behavior between mated and unmated females ...
