Biodiversidad de insectos polinizadores y depredadores en agroecosistemas vitícolas de Mendoza, Argentina. Consideraciones para el manejo del hábitat = Pollinator and predator insects biodiversity in vineyards agroecosystems of Mendoza, Argentina. Considerations for habitat management
(Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2019)
El presente estudio expone los primeros resultados obtenidos acerca de la influencia del manejo de hábitat con vegetación nativa sobre los servicios ecosistémicos ofrecidos por insectos polinizadores y controladores de ...
Taxonomic and functional structure of phytophagous insect communities associated with grain Amaranth
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2014-12)
Amaranthus are worldwide attacked mainly by leaf chewers and sucker insects. Stem borers and leaf miners follow in importance, while minor herbivores are leaf rollers, folders and rasping-sucking insects. The herbivorous ...
A preliminary bibliographic survey of the insects found in poultry houses from the Neotropical Region, with remarks on selected taxa shared with native birds' nests
(Magnolia Press, 2011-04)
Species of insects associated to the habitat of Gallus gallus (Aves: Phasianidae) in the Neotropical Region belong to 144 identified species (42 Coleoptera; 14 Diptera; 17 Hymenoptera; 9 Siphonaptera; 1 Lepidoptera; 56 ...
Response of saproxylic insect communities to logging history, tree species, stage of decay, and wood posture in the central Nearctic boreal forest
(Northeast Forestry University, 2018-09)
Saproxylic insect assemblages are essential functional components of forest ecosystems that can be affected by forest management. We used a split-plot ANOVA design to analyze differences in selected saproxylic insects (all ...
Beneficial insects in urban environments: Parasitism rates increase in large and less isolated plant patches via enhanced parasitoid species richness
(Elsevier, 2013-06)
In urban habitats, plant resources for herbivorous insects and their parasitoids are spatially subdivided and embedded in a matrix of built environment. These conditions could affect insect colonization and persistence, ...
The role of leaf cellulose content in determining host plantpreferences of three defoliating insects present in theAndean-Patagonian forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06-13)
Phytophagous insects choose their feeding resources according to their own requirements in addition to properties of the host plants, such as biomechanical defences. The feeding preferences of the native folivorous insects ...
Flexible foraging decisions made by workers of the social wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in response to different resources: influence of ontogenetic shifts and colony feedback
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2022-07)
Decisions made by foraging animals conform a complex process based on the integration of information from multiple external environmental stimuli and internal physiological signals, which in turn are modulated by individual ...
Plant-insect interactions in a glossopteris flora from the la golondrina formation (Guadalupian-Lopingian), Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia, Argentina
(Asociacion Paleontologica Argentina, 2011-03)
Se presenta aquí la primera descripción de daño de insecto en una flora de Glossopteris del Pérmico de Argentina (Formación La Golondrina, Santa Cruz). Se describen 4 ejemplares de hojas de Glossopteris referidas a G. ...
Orcokinins contribute to the regulation of vitellogenin transcription in the cockroach Blattella germanica
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-11)
Orcokinins (OKs) are neuropeptides that were first identified in crustacean through their myotropic activity. In insects, the OK gene gives rise to two mRNAs coding for two different families of conserved mature neuropeptides: ...
A fatty acid synthase gene (FASN3) from the integument tissue of Rhodnius prolixus contributes to cuticle water loss regulation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-12)
Fatty acid synthase is a multifunctional enzyme involved in the formation of fatty acids. Despite the role of fatty acids in cell signalling and energy metabolism, and as precursors to pheromones and hydrocarbons that ...
