Abstract The incidence and distribution of the baculovirus of the coconut palm rhinoceros beetle was determined in Tongatapu, Tonga, 7 years after being first introduced. Surveys showed the virus to be spread throughout the beetle population, affecting 14.6% of breeding sites and over 84% of all adult beetles taken.

BEHAVIOUR OF YOUNG RHINOCEROS BEETLES, ORYCTES RHINOCEROS
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1975The behaviour of young adults of Oryctes rhinoceros was studied. In the field the young beetles remained at the site of pupation for 3—4 weeks after the adult moult. In the laboratory 3‐week‐old females and 5‐week‐oId males were able to mate before the first feeding and before the first flight.

Activity of Male Pheromone of Melanesian Rhinoceros Beetle Scapanes australis [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2002 Laboratory and field investigations were carried out to investigate the nature and role of the male pheromone emitted by the Dynast beetle Scapanes australis and to develop a mass trapping technique against this major coconut pest in Papua New Guinea. We report the biological data obtained from natural and synthetic pheromone, previously described as ...

A novel antifungal peptide, scarabaecin (4080Da), was isolated from the coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros. Scarabaecin cDNA was cloned by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) using a primer based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence. The amino acid sequence deduced from scarabaecin cDNA showed no significant similarity

ABSTRACT The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB, Oryctes rhinoceros ) is a palm tree pest capable of rapidly expanding its population in new territories. Previous studies identified a digestive symbiosis between CRB and its gut microbes. However, no research compared the genetic

Environmental Entomology, 2016
The coconut rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros L., is a serious pest of coconut and other palms throughout Southeast Asia and on several Pacific Islands. Adults damage and sometimes kill palms when they bore into the crown to feed. In contrast, larvae feed only on dead plant material at breeding sites.

Discontinuous ventilation in the rhinoceros beetle Oryctes nasicornis
Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2009Discontinuous gas exchange cycles (DGCs) are frequently observed with insects, i.e. oxygen take up and carbon dioxide release occur interrupted by periods of a few minutes up to many hours. The paper presents direct and indirect calorimetric experiments on DGCs of the scarabid rhinoceros beetle Oryctes nasicornis.

Biological control of the rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) in the Southh Paciic by baculovirus
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 1986Abstract A baculovirus, originally discovered in Malaysia, attacks both the larval and adult stages of Oryctes rhinoceros (L.), a serious pest of the coconut palm in the South Pacific. Infection is peroral. The virus multiplies in the digestive system and other organs. Dying larvae contaminate breeding sites with virus.
