Optimization of Methodology for Rearing Spodoptera albula on Artificial Diet
(2017-10-01)
Advances in techniques for rearing insects on artificial diets are fundamental to solving issues of basic and applied entomology. In this study, we evaluated the development of Spodoptera albula (Walker) (Lepidoptera: ...
Nitric oxide production in blowfly hemolymph after yeast inoculation
(Elsevier B.V., 2005-12-01)
Although insects lack the adaptive immune response of the mammalians, they manifest effective innate immune responses that include both cellular and humoral components. Cellular responses are mediated by hemocytes and ...
Not all in the same boat: Trends and mechanisms in herbivory responses to forest fragmentation differ among insect guilds
(Springer, 2014-11)
Habitat fragmentation can alter fundamental ecological interactions such as insect herbivory. Few studies of habitat fragmentation effects on herbivory have examined the mechanisms involved, and differences among insect ...
Anthropogenic increase in carbon dioxide modifies plant-insect interactions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-01-27)
Industrialisation has elevated atmospheric levels of CO2 from original 280ppmto current levels at 400 ppm, which is estimated to double by 2050. Althoughhigh atmospheric CO2 levels affect insect interactions with host ...
Rapid recovery of Patagonian plant–insect associations after the end-Cretaceous extinction
(Springer Nature, 2016-11)
The Southern Hemisphere may have provided biodiversity refugia after the Cretaceous/Palaeogene (K/Pg) mass extinction. However, few extinction and recovery studies have been conducted in the terrestrial realm using well-dated ...
A moveable feast: insects moving at the forest-crop interface are affected by crop phenology and the amount of forest in the landscape
(Public Library Of Science, 2016-06)
Edges have become prevailing habitats, mainly as a result of habitat fragmentation and agricultural expansion. The interchange of functionally relevant organisms like insects occurs through these edges and can influence ...
Effects of flickering light on the attraction of nocturnal insects
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2017-02-01)
We tested the hypothesis that the phototatic response of nocturnal insects is influenced by the flickering of light sources by comparing the numbers of insects captured in traps illuminated with flickering and non-flickering ...
Predicting evolution of insect resistance to transgenic crops in within-field refuge configurations, based on larval movement
(2016-12-01)
The selection pressure imposed by the widespread use of transgenic technologies can lead to the evolution of insect resistance, and the availability of refuge areas that allow susceptible homozygous insects to survive is ...
Seasonality of insect succession and pig carcass decomposition in a natural forest area in southeastern Brazil
(Amer Soc Testing MaterialsW ConshohockenEUA, 2001)
