Oviposition Strategies in Beneficial Insects [PDF]

International Journal of Insect Science, 2018
AIMS AND SCOPE: The aim of this special collection is to highlight the importance of reproduction (ie, oviposition) in the life history, population dynamics, survival, and fitness of beneficial insects, broadly defined. Specific areas of interest include

Oviposition pheromones in insect vectors

Parasitology Today, 1995
Oviposition aggregation pheromones occur in a range of insect groups including Diptera, where they mediate oviposition in four different families of disease vectors.

Diet and Oviposition Deprivation Effects on Survivorship, Gonotrophic Dissociation, and Mortality of Anopheles gambiae s.s.

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2022
Diet quality is of paramount importance for egg batch size, longevity, and mortality of vector mosquitoes. Oviposition site presence and absence assumed to be dry season means a lot to the survivorship and mortality of most anthropophilic malaria vectors

Insect eggs can enhance wound response in plants: a study system of tomato Solanum lycopersicum L. and Helicoverpa zea Boddie. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Insect oviposition on plants frequently precedes herbivory. Accumulating evidence indicates that plants recognize insect oviposition and elicit direct or indirect defenses to reduce the pressure of future herbivory.

In Search of Suitable Breeding Sites: Habitat Heterogeneity and Environmental Filters Determine Anuran Diversity of Western Madagascar

Animals, 2023
Environmental filtering shapes animal communities by preventing the colonization and persistence of certain species in a given habitat. More heterogenous environments are presumed to support a greater number of species and, consequently, increased ...

Physical Factors Influencing the Oviposition of Lutzomyia migonei (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Laboratory Conditions [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997
To determine the influence of physical factors on oviposition of Lutzomyia migonei (Diptera: Psychodidae) under laboratory conditions, two sets of experiments were performed.

Antibiotic Treatment Reduced the Gut Microbiota Diversity, Prolonged the Larval Development Period and Lessened Adult Fecundity of Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Insects, 2022
Grapholita molesta, the oriental fruit moth, is a serious pest of fruit trees with host transfer characteristics worldwide. The gut microbiota, which plays a crucial part in insect physiology and ecology, can be influenced by many elements, such as ...

Effects of high dose sex pheromone on courtship, mating and oviposition of Chilo suppressalis (Walker) in the wind tunnel

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022
To explore the courtship, mating and oviposition behavior of Chilo suppressalis (Walker) in a high dose sex pheromone environment, the mating disruption was simulated in a wind tunnel, and the sex pheromone titers were analyzed in combination with ...

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

Ecosphere, 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 ...
