Perceptions of Problems with Household Insects: Qualitative and Quantitative Findings from Peri-Urban Communities in Arequipa, Peru.
(American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2023)
Vector-borne diseases continue to impose a major health burden on Peru and neighboring countries. The challenge of addressing vector-borne disease is compounded by changing social, economic, and climatic conditions. ...
A preliminary study of insect fauna on pig carcasses located in sugarcane in winter in southeastern Brazil
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-06-01)
Minimum post-mortem intervals can be estimated based on analyses of the pattern of insect succession on a carcass. In order to successfully apply this approach, insect development rates must be considered with regard to ...

Environmental and genetic control of insect abundance and herbivory along a forest elevational gradient
(Springer, 2011-04)
Environmental conditions and plant genotype may influence insect herbivory along elevational gradients. Plant damage would decrease with elevation as temperature declines to suboptimal levels for insects. However, host ...
Variation in insect assemblage and functional groups along a grazing gradient in an arid environment
(OMICS, 2016-06-10)
Exotic livestock may affect plant and pollinator composition as well as their interactions. Changes in pollinatorassemblage (e.g. composition) may alter pollination process and, therefore, plant reproduction. This study ...
Specialisation pattern of the aphid Rhopalosiphum maidis is not modified by experience on a novel host
(2001)
The effect of alternative host condition on the pattern of specialisation of the aphid Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch) was studied. R. maidis commonly occurs in Chile on Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense L.) but rarely on ...
A look into the invisible: Ultraviolet-B sensitivity in an insect (Caliothrips phaseoli) revealed through a behavioural action spectrum
(The Royal Society, 2010-02-21)
Caliothrips phaseoli, a phytophagous insect, detects and responds to solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B; λ ≤ 315 nm) under field conditions. A highly specific mechanism must be present in the thrips visual system in order ...
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: ...
