Comparison of eggs, larvae, and pupae of plutella xylostella (lepidoptera: Plutellidae) as prey for podisus nigrispinus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
(2013-03-01)
Understanding the predation on pest insects through controlled feeding on their prey can provide insight into natural methods of pest control. The growth, survival, and development of the predatory stink bug (Podisus ...

Maternal care in a neotropical jumping spider (Salticidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-11-01)
Although female jumping spiders (Salticidae) often stay with their egg sacs, little is known about whether this behaviour is effective in improving offspring survival. Females of the jumping spider Psecas chapoda (Salticidae) ...

Resistance to freezing temperatures in Aedes (Ochlerotatus) albifasciatus (Macquart) eggs (Diptera: Culicidae) from two different climatic regions of Argentina
(Soc Vector Ecology, 2013-12)
Aedes (Ochlerotatus) albifasciatus (Macquart) has the capacity to proliferate in different kinds of climates within its distribution range in South America. With the aim of studying local thermal adaptations of eggs, we ...
Cold season mortality and hatching behavior of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) eggs in Buenos Aires City, Argentina
(Wiley, 2011-06)
In temperate regions, populations of Aedes aegypti survive the cold season in the egg stage. In the present work, we studied the cold-season mortality of Ae. aegypti eggs and their subsequent hatching pattern in Buenos ...
Strategic egg destruction by brood-parasitic cowbirds?
(Elsevier, 2014-06)
Obligate avian brood parasites do not provide direct care to their young but can indirectly increase their offspring's success in host nests. One way in which parasitic cowbirds (Molothrus sp.) could achieve this is through ...
Costs and benefits of temporary egg desertion in a rocky shore frog with male-only care
(Springer, 2016)
Egg attendance imposes costs on parents, including decreased food intake and increased mortality risks. By concentrating parental activities when egg predation is greater and abiotic conditions are less stressful, parents ...
Seasonal occurrence and hatching success of benthic eggs of calanoid copepods in the Bahía Blanca Estuary, Argentina
(Taylor & Francis As, 2013-12)
The seasonal abundance and hatching success of calanoid benthic eggs were examined during the coexistence of Acartia tonsa and Eurytemora americana in the Bahía Blanca Estuary (BBE). The dormancy behaviour of eggs extracted ...
Cold Season Mortality under Natural Conditions and Subsequent Hatching Response of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Eggs in a Subtropical City of Argentina
(Oxford University Press, 2015-09)
In temperate and subtropical regions, populations of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.) survive unfavorable winter conditions in the egg stage. Knowing their survival rates can be of great interest for the health authorities ...
