Study of mating effect, hosts range and competition with the parasitoid Bracon hebetor on some behavioral and biological aspects of larval parasitoid Goniosus sp [PDF]
Laboratory studies was conducted to investigate effect of mating behavior on egg laying, host selection and competition with Bracon hebetor. The results showed that no differences in mating and egg laying behavior between mated and unmated females ...

Sequential testing of complementary hypotheses about population density
Abstract Making inferences about population density is paramount in ecology and pest management for decision‐makers who often seek to determine how a population compares to a pre‐established static or dynamic threshold through sampling or monitoring. Sequential data analysis is appealing for monitoring and decision making as it is more cost‐efficient ...

Preliminary Observations on Zelus Obscuridorsis (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) as Predator of the Corn Leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Argentina [PDF]
The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is an important corn pest in most of tropical and subtropical America. This leafhopper has a rich natural enemy complex of which parasitoids and pathogens are the most studied; knowledge on ...

Trichomes and hydrocarbons associated with the tomato plant antixenosis to the leafminer [PDF]
The objective of this work was to study the density of trichomes and hydrocarbons associated with the resistance by antixenosis of 42 subsamples of tomato plants from the Horticultural Germplasm Bank of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (HGB-UFV) to Liriomyza trifolii. These subsamples were studied in addition to 'Santa Clara' cultivar, which was used

Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.
