Oviposition preference and larval survival of Diprion pini on Scots pine clones in relation to foliage characteristicsAgricultural and Forest Entomology - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 185-192 - 2000

Summary1 When laying eggs, adult female Diprion pini discriminated between
clones of Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris.2 Larval survival was affected by Scots
pine clone but was not correlated with oviposition preference.3 Diprion pini
laid most eggs on tougher needles of Scots pine.4 There was no evidence to
suggest that D. pini is responding to the monoterpene composition of the
foliage.
Temperature as a predictor of survival of the pine processionary moth in the Italian AlpsAgricultural and Forest Entomology - Tập 9 Số 1 - Trang 65-72 - 2007

Abstract1 The pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa is expanding its
geographical range in Europe, as a consequence of enhanced winter survival under
a warmer climate. A combination of daytime nest temperatures and night air
temperatures determines the number of hours larvae are able to feed (hours above
realized feeding threshold, RFT).2 We tested the RFT‐based model for survival
across... hiện toàn bộ
Behavioural responses of wheat stem sawflies to wheat volatilesAgricultural and Forest Entomology - Tập 10 Số 3 - Trang 245-253 - 2008

Abstract1 Adult wheat stem sawflies Cephus cinctus, pests of cultivated cereals
that also infests wild grasses, migrate into wheat fields where they oviposit in
elongating, succulent stems.2 Volatiles released by wheat plants at susceptible
stages were analyzed to determine potential semiochemical compounds. Seven major
compounds were identified and quantified.3 A Y‐tube bioassay was developed to

Microdot technology for individual marking of small arthropodsAgricultural and Forest Entomology - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 171-175 - 2012
Michael R. Whitehead, Rod Peakall
Individual mark–release–recapture is an important method for gathering data on
insect movement, although it is limited by the constraints of tagging small
insects with individual information. Microdots, originally developed for covert
security applications, are small polymer discs (diameter 0.5 mm) bearing up to
26 characters of information and have the potential as an alternative to the
larger be... hiện toàn bộ
