Effects of Continuous and Split Developmental Photophases During Each 24 Hour Period on Adult Color and Pubescence in \u3ci\u3eThyanta Calceata\u3c/i\u3e (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]
Rearing immatures of Thyanta calceata in SL: 16D, SL:4D:8L:4D, and 16L:8D photo- periods showed that the length of each photophase, rather than an accumulation of shorter photophases, during each 24 h period wa, the determining factor in producing adult ...

Integrated Pest Management in Pigeonpea: Progress and Prospects
ABSTRACT Pigeonpea is one of the world's most important grain legume crops. Mostly grown and consumed in India, where it is a staple food, pigeonpea production also occurs elsewhere in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Australia. Despite widespread cultivation and staple food status, pigeonpea yields have barely increased over the last half century.

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae
We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

The Genus Sphyrocoris Mayr (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae: Pachycorinae) [PDF]
The genus Sphyrocoris is reviewed and found to contain a single species, S. obliquus (Germar, 1839). The following taxa are new junior synonyms of S. obliquus: Homaemus punctellus Stål, 1862; Sphyrocoris elongatus Distant, 1880; Sphyrocoris punctellus ...

Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest [PDF]
Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.
