CHILL‐COMA AND COLD DEATH TEMPERATURES OF APIS MELLIFERAEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 222-230 - 1960
J. B. Free, Yvette Spencer‐Booth
Worker bees have a lower chill‐coma temperature than drones or queens, which is influenced by their acclimatisation temperature as is their food consumption at a given temperature. Most bees die after 50 hrs. in chill coma, and survive longer at 5° C than at 0 or 10° C. Cold death occurs between −2 and −6° C and is unaffected by acclimatisation. Winter bees have low...... hiện toàn bộ
Response of predatory mites with different rearing histories to volatiles of uninfested plantsEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata - Tập 64 Số 2 - Trang 187-193 - 1992
Junji Takabayashi, Marcel Dicke
AbstractThe behavioural response of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis to volatiles from several host plants of its prey, spider mites in the genus Tetranychus, was investigated in a Y‐tube olfactometer. A positive response to volatiles from tomato leaves and Lima bean leaves was recorded, whereas no res...... hiện toàn bộ
Mechanistic, ecological, and evolutionary consequences of artificial light at night for insects: review and prospectiveEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata - Tập 167 Số 1 - Trang 37-58 - 2019
Emmanuel Desouhant, Elisa Gomes, Nathalie Mondy, Isabelle Amat
AbstractThe alternation of light and dark periods on a daily or seasonal time scale is of utmost importance for the synchronization of physiological and behavioral processes in the environment. For the last 2 decades, artificial light at night (ALAN) has strongly increased worldwide, disrupting the photoperiod and its related physiological processes, and impacting ...... hiện toàn bộ
Phenoloxidase: a key component of the insect immune systemEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata - Tập 142 Số 1 - Trang 1-16 - 2012
Isaac González‐Santoyo, Alex Córdoba‐Aguilar
AbstractThe innate immune system in insects is composed of a large variety of specific and non‐specific responses that are activated in response to the presence of foreign agents. One important element in such responses is the enzyme phenoloxidase (PO). Here, we review recent progress in PO research and discuss new applications in the emerging field of ecological i...... hiện toàn bộ
THE RESPIRATION OF INSECTS AT REDUCED PRESSURESEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata - Tập 12 Số 4 - Trang 389-402 - 1969
Theodore C. Dumas, C. T. Buckland, H. A. U. Monro
The respiration of larvae of Tenebroides mauritanicus exposed to reduced pressures in air was measured in a specially designed chamber by means of gas chromatography. Both O2 uptake and CO2 output were progressively reduced as the pressure was lowered from 200 to 35 mm Hg. There were differences in...... hiện toàn bộ
CONSUMPTION, DIGESTION, AND UTILIZATION OF VARIOUS GRASSES BY FIFTH‐INSTAR LARVAE AND ADULTS OF THE MIGRATORY LOCUSTEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata - Tập 19 Số 2 - Trang 130-138 - 1976
A. Hoekstra, A.M.Th. Beenakkers
Food consumption, digestion, and utilization were estimated in fifth‐instar larvae and adults of the migratory locust by measurements of the weight of food ingested, the weight of faeces produced and the increase in body weight. The diet consisted of either rye, perennial rye‐grass, cocksfoot, water meadow‐grass, or reed‐grass.Neither the general sh...... hiện toàn bộ
