Evolutionary entropy: a predictor of body size, metabolic rate and maximal life span. [PDF]
Bull Math Biol, 2009 Body size of organisms spans 24 orders of magnitude, and metabolic rate and life span present comparable differences across species. This article shows that this variation can be explained in terms of evolutionary entropy, a statistical parameter which ...

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2014 Competition bioassays were conducted with the filth fly pupal parasitoids Muscidurax raptor (Girault & Sanders) and M. raptorellus (Kogan & Legner) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) using house fly Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) hosts at different host densities. Muscidifurax raptor had a significant impact on M.

Sperm Depletion and Mating Behavior in the Parasitoid Wasp \u3ci\u3eSpalangia Cameroni\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Mating behavior was examined in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia cameroni. Males attempted copulation with both virgins and already mated females. Males attempted copulation regardless of whether they still had sperm. Already mated females rejected attempts

Biological Control, 1995 Abstract The microsporidium Nosema muscidifuracis was found in 1.1 and 10.7% of wild Muscidifurax raptor collected on New York dairy farms in 1991 and 1992. Higher (84%) levels of infection were observed on farms where infected M. raptor from a commercial insectary were released. Adult M.

Environmental Entomology, 2015 The pupal parasitoids, Spalangia cameroni Perkins and Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Sanders, can be purchased for biological control of house flies Musca domestica L. and stable flies Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae). Little is known about the odors involved in host-seeking behavior of these two species, so odors associated with house ...

Biological Control, 1995 Abstract Adult house flies (Musca domestica) were susceptible (94-100% mortality) to Beauveria bassiana when conidia of the Hf88 isolate were applied to plywood boards at 107 conidia/cm2; a starch dust formulation was more effective than a liquid suspension. Adult flies were also susceptible (90-99% mortality) to this isolate when they were con fined
