Preimaginal development and fecundity of Gaeolaelaps aculeifer (Acari: Laelapidae) feeding on Rhizoglyphus echinopus (Acari: Acaridae) at constant temperatures

open access: yesJournal of Crop Protection, 2014
The laelapid mite, Gaeolaelapsaculeifer (Canestrini) is widespread in soil habitats and feeds on different small arthropods, fungi and nematodes. The development and fecundity of G.

From cities to refuges for pollinators: Urban practices for enhancing pollinator habitats in changing landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

A study of population growth of Sitophilus oryzae L. and Sitophilus granarius L. in single and mixed culture in wheat and rice : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
Biological interactions between organisms which contend for the same resource, have been of interest to ecologists since the days of Darwin. Although this sort of association is evident for many animal-versus-animal and plant-versus-plant situations, one

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

Portable Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy and machine learning for sex determination in third instar Chrysomya rufifacies larvae

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology is crucial in medicolegal investigations, utilizing insects—primarily flies—to estimate a supplemental post‐mortem interval based on their development at the (death) scene. This estimation can be influenced by extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity, as well as intrinsic factors such as species and sex.

Oviposition Behavior of Indianmeal Moths With and Without Synthetic Pheromone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Plodia interpunctella, commonly known as the Indianmeal moth, is a pyralid moth that is a pest of stored food products (Mohandrass, 2007). While there are many known factors that influence oviposition, like food odor and type of food available ...

Evidence for transient deleterious thermal acclimation in field recapture rates of an invasive tropical species, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae)

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowing how environmental conditions affect performance traits in pest insects is important to improve pest management strategies. It can be informative for monitoring, but also for control programs where insects are mass‐reared, and field‐released.

Differences in within‐plant oviposition preferences and immature survival between Orius predators and the importance of spatial availability of prey

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Orius predators oviposit endophytically, and plant characteristics play an important role in their oviposition choices. In this study, we show that oviposition preferences differ between species, and that these differences may correlate with juvenile performance.
