Field assessment of Trypanosoma cruzi infection and host survival in the native rodent Octodon degus
(2012)
Chagas disease is a zoonosis caused by the flagellated parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by triatomine insects to several mammalian species acting as reservoir hosts. In the present study, we assess T. cruzi-prevalence, ...
Brood parasite eggs enhance egg survivorship in a multiply parasitized host
(The Royal Society, 2012-05)
Despite the costs to avian parents of rearing brood parasitic offspring, many species do not reject foreign eggs from their nests.We show that where multiple parasitism occurs, rejection itself can be costly, by increasing ...
The functional and numerical responses of Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) parasitizing Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) eggs in the field
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-08)
Trissolcus basalis has been used as a biological control agent of its main host, Nezara viridula, in many countries. However, estimations of its functional and numerical responses in the field are lacking. We estimated the ...

The Oxycaryum cubense floating mat as refuge of Cornops aquaticum (Orthoptera: Acrididae), a new control agent of the water hyacinth
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-12)
Cornops aquaticum is a native Neotropic grasshopper frequently associated with Eichhornia (Pontederiaceae) spp. The aims of this research are: (1) to report the presence of this grasshopper on Oxycaryum cubense (Cyperaceae) ...
