Lagged effects of herbivory impact host‐choice but not nymphal survivorship in an ant‐protected treehopper

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Theoretical studies have shown that in protection mutualism, the modification of top‐down control by protectors may be destabilizing. Central to this prediction are the assumptions that (1) protection mutualism increases the abundance of protected ...

Repellent activity of Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus Mart. and Ricinus communis L. extracts against Aedes aegypti L. oviposition behavior

open access: yesBiotemas, 2015
Female Aedes aegypti lay their eggs on nearly any moist substrate. Methods with potential to repel oviposition may reduce infestation, thereby contributing to control of epidemics.

Tetranychus urticae changes its oviposition pattern in the presence of the predatory mites, Phytoseiulus persimilis and Typhlodromus bagdasarjani

open access: yesActa Biologica, 2019
Oviposition behaviors in herbivorous mites are affected by several factors i.e. food availability for juveniles and reduced predation risks. We used the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Tetranychidae) to find out whether the previous ...

Protein- and Carbohydrate-Rich Supplements in Feeding Adult Black Soldier Flies (Hermetia illucens) Affect Life History Traits and Egg Productivity

open access: yesLife, 2023
The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (BSF; Diptera: Stratiomyidae), has come into the focus of research over the past decade since its larvae are polyphagous feeders with an exceptional substrate range, making them a promising candidate for the ...

Stable Flies, Stomoxys calcitrans L. (Diptera: Muscidae), Improve Offspring Fitness by Avoiding Oviposition Substrates With Competitors or Parasites

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Oviposition site selection by gravid female insects is an important determinant in species distribution, abundance, and population dynamics. Females may assess the suitability of a potential oviposition substrate by using cues from conspecific or ...

OVIPOSITION OF BIBIO FEMORATA, WIED., AND OVIPOSITING FEMALES [PDF]

open access: yesThe Canadian Entomologist, 1905
On the morning of March 24th, 1904, at 9 o'clock, in the town of Paris, Texas, many dark-coloured flies were noticed crawling over the trunks and lower limbs of two adjacent box elder trees (Negundo species). They proved to be the above species.

Multimodal Signaling in Myrmecophilous Butterflies

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Ant nests and their surrounding territories represent a hoard of trophic resources, as well as of stable and protected environments for many arthropods involved in commensal, mutualistic, or parasitic associations.

Biopotency of Salicylic Acid against Oviposition and Feeding Behavior of Pectinophora gossypiella in Cotton

open access: yesBiology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023
Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) is a potential threat for the successful cultivation of cotton all over the world. Despite the use of modern management strategies, the damage caused by this pest is increasing.
