Widespread pyrethroid resistance in Australian diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella(L.), is related to multiple mutations in theparasodium channel geneBulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 101 Số 4 - Trang 393-405 - 2011

AbstractPopulations ofPlutella xylostella, extending over 3800 km in southern
Australia, show no genetic structure as assessed by microsatellite markers; yet
outbreaks of pyrethroid resistance occur sporadically in cropping areas. Since
mutations in theparavoltage-gated sodium channel gene have been implicated in
pyrethroid resistance, we looked for DNA sequence variation at this target among

Carbohydrate and Fat Metabolism in Adult LepidopteraBulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 29 Số 1 - Trang 103-114 - 1938
I. W. Kozhantshikov
The results of the present investigation can be summarised as follows :—1.
Carbohydrate metabolism in females of all the species studied (except
Operophthera brumata) shows a definite dependence on the period of maturation.
The greatest quantity of sugar is consumed during the first 4–5 days after
emergence. During the period of gonad maturation both the body weight and the
oxygen consumption are ... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of natural enemies on the spread of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) by Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae)Bulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 91 Số 4 - Trang 301-306 - 2001

AbstractThe effects of two natural aphid enemies, adult Coccinella
septempunctataLinneaus, a predator, and Aphidius rhopalosiphi de Stefani Perez,
a parasitoid, on spread of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) transmitted by the
bird cherry–oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus) were studied under
laboratory conditions. Predators or parasitoids were introduced to trays of
durum wheat seedlings and ... hiện toàn bộ
Second Report of the Tsetse-fly Investigation in the Northern Provinces of NigeriaBulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 15 Số 1 - Trang 1-27 - 1924
Llewellyn Lloyd, W. B. Johnson, W. A. Young, Henry Morgan Morrison
This report contains a record of the trypanosome infections, food and breeding
of G. morsitans and G. tachinoides obtained by examining the flies at various
foci over a period of fourteen months.It confirms the fact that the breeding of
both species is practically confined to the dry season and follows a period of
increased food supply. G. tachinoides is well fed through the rains, except in
one m... hiện toàn bộ
Migrating moths collected in tower-mounted light traps in northern New South Wales, Australia: influence of local and synoptic weatherBulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 84 Số 1 - Trang 17-30 - 1994
Peter Gregg, G. P. Fitt, Marc Coombs, G. S. Henderson
AbstractCatches of moths in tower-mounted light traps in northern New South
Wales were analysed in relation to local and synoptic weather. Catches were
correlated with windspeed, relative humidity and possibly rainfall. No
correlations were obtained with temperature or moon phase. Catches were more
likely to occur when winds were from the east, and were associated with wind
shifts. There was a sig... hiện toàn bộ
Dispersal and survival of Anopheles funestus and A. gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) during the rainy season in southeast TanzaniaBulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 88 Số 5 - Trang 561-566 - 1998
Willem Takken, Jacques Derek Charlwood, Brian D. Foy, Gerrit Gort
AbstractIn a rural area of southeastern Tanzania, studies were undertaken on the
dispersal and survival of Anopheles funestus Giles and A. gambiae Giles s.l.
during the rainy season. Blood fed, resting mosquitoes were collected indoors,
marked with fluorescent powder and released on the same day from two different
sites in the study area. For two weeks indoor resting mosquitoes were collected
from... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular markers indicate that the wheat curl mite, Aceria tosichella Keifer, may represent a species complex in AustraliaBulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 99 Số 5 - Trang 479-486 - 2009
Melissa E. Carew, Michele Schiffer, Paul A. Umina, Andrew R. Weeks, Ary A. Hoffmann
AbstractThe wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, is an eriophyoid
pest of cereals, and the vector responsible for transmitting wheat streak mosaic
virus. Several authors have suggested cryptic species of this mite identified
through morphological variation, but this has never been conclusively
demonstrated. Here, we use the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene and two nuclear
markers (internal ... hiện toàn bộ
F2 screen for resistance to a Bacillus thuringiensis-maize hybrid in the sugarcane borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)Bulletin of Entomological Research - Tập 97 Số 5 - Trang 437-444 - 2007
Fangneng Huang, B. R. Leonard, David A. Andow
AbstractA novel F2 screening technique was developed for detecting resistance in
sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), to transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis
(Bt)-maize expressing the Cry1Ab insecticidal protein. The F2 screening method
involved (i) collecting larvae from maize fields; (ii) establishing two-parent
families; (iii) screening F2 neonates for survival on Bt-maize leaf tissues; and... hiện toàn bộ
