Necrophagous fly assembly: Evaluation of species bait preference in field experiments
(Entomological Society of America, 2020-02)
The assembly of species that colonize animal organic matter, their relative abundance and dynamics are affected by the environmental and biogeographic conditions to which these resources are exposed. Baited trap studies ...
Field preferences of the Social Wasp Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) for Protein-rich Baits
(Springer, 2013-03)
Food preferences displayed by foraging insects are important from a fundamental perspective and in pest control. We studied the preference of an invasive wasp, V. germanica, for protein foods in field conditions. Preferences ...
Selective attraction of Vespula germanica (Hymenoptera: vespidae) to feeding baits enhanced with isobutanol and acetic acid
(Universidad de Concepción, 2017)
Vespula germanica (F.) has a negative impact on agriculture, beekeeping, and tourism in Chile. Therefore, environmentally-friendly strategies need to be implemented to control this serious pest. The objective of this study ...
Effects of nutrients on feeding activities of the pest termite Heterotermes tenuis (Isoptera : Rhinotermitidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-07-01)
Heterotermes tenuis is a native termite of large negative impact on the Brazilian economy. Many studies have focused on optimizing the baiting method for termite control by improving its use and its efficacy. In order to ...
Nutrients affecting food choice by the pest subterranean termite Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010-01-01)
Coptotermes gestroi is a subterranean termite from Asia, introduced accidentally to Brazil, where it is responsible for substantial damage in urban areas. The foraging range of this species frequently overlap with that of ...
Knowing the enemy: ant behavior and control in a pediatric hospital of Buenos Aires
(Springer, 2014-04)
Ant control is difficult in systems even where a variety of control strategies and compounds are allowed; in sensitive places such as hospitals, where there are often restrictions on the methods and toxicants to be applied, ...
Attractiveness of Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) to different baits in the Brazilian Amazon region
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2017)
Bait and habitat preferences, and temporal variability of social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) attracted to vertebrate carrion
(2011-09-01)
In addition to feeding on carrion tissues and fluids, social wasps can also prey on immature and adult carrion flies, thereby reducing their populations and retarding the decomposition process of carcasses. In this study, ...
