Oviposition Activity of an Invasive Fruit Fly Species at Different Densities in Laboratory
Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major fruit fly pest affecting Brazil's international fruit trade due to phytosanitary restrictions. Although currently restricted to northern Brazil, little is known about its oviposition behavior. In this study, we investigated the daily oviposition pattern of B.

Selection for resistance to cacao Moniliasis assisted by molecular markers : S04P06 [PDF]
The basidiomycete Moniliophthora rorer, the etiological agent of Moniliasis, reaches cacao plantations (Theobroma cacao) in Central and South Americas, but its occurrence is still not registered in Brazil .

The co‐adaptation of bees from the genus Macropis and Lysimachia plants has been studied in detail. Research shows that bees collect not just pure liquid oil from flower petals but tear off trichome heads filled with oil, transferring them to their nests.

Similar genetic mechanisms underlie the parallel evolution of floral phenotypes. [PDF]
The repeated origin of similar phenotypes is invaluable for studying the underlying genetics of adaptive traits; molecular evidence, however, is lacking for most examples of such similarity.

Development of EST derived-SSRs of Theobroma grandiflorum for molecular breeding : S04P05 [PDF]
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) markers are widely used in breeding programs, and SSRs associated to expressed sequence tags (ESTs) could be quite efficient in the selection of genotypes of interest.

Explosive Radiation of Malpighiales Supports a Mid-Cretaceous Origin of Modern Tropical Rain Forests [PDF]
Fossil data have been interpreted as indicating that Late Cretaceous tropical forests were open and dry adapted and that modern closed-canopy rain forest did not originate until after the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundary.

Our results show that ants reduced leaf herbivory on plants offering both EFN and trophobiotic insects. Although ants did not directly affect pollinator behaviour, leaf herbivory in plants hosting treehoppers indirectly influenced pollination by reducing both visit duration and frequency.

A comprehensive guide to the Argentinian case-bearer beetle fauna (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Camptosomata) [PDF]
Knowledge of Argentinian Camptosomata has largely remained static for the last 60 years since the last publication by Francisco de Asis Monrós in the 1950’s.
