The peanut thrips, Enneothrips enigmaticus (Thysanoptera: Thrypidae), is an
important pest of the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in South America. Due to
concerns about the environment and human health induced by the extensive use of
pesticides in the management control of pests, environmentally and friendlier
tactics must be targeted. Thus, this study investigates, for the first time, the
behavior of ... hiện toàn bộ
Parasitism and Food Web Structure in Defoliating Lepidoptera – Parasitoid Communities on SoybeanNeotropical Entomology - Tập 45 - Trang 712-717 - 2016
D S Avalos, A Mangeaud, G R Valladares
Food webs are usually regarded as snapshots of community feeding interactions.
Here, we describe the yearly and cumulative structure of parasitoid–caterpillar
food webs on soybean in central Argentina, analyzing parasitism rates and their
variability in relation to parasitoid diversity and food web vulnerability in
the system. Lepidoptera larvae were collected along four seasons from soybean
crops... hiện toàn bộ
Development and Leaf Consumption by Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Reared on Leaves of Agroenergy CropsNeotropical Entomology - Tập 42 - Trang 588-594 - 2013
M F Cabezas, D E Nava, L O Geissler, M Melo, M S Garcia, R Krüger
Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous pest
that threatens more than 24 species of crop plants including those used for
biodiesel production such as Ricinus communis (castor bean), Jatropha curcas
(Barbados nut), and Aleurites fordii (tung oil tree). The development and leaf
consumption by S. cosmioides reared on leaves of these three species were
studied under co... hiện toàn bộ
The Value of Crop Production and Pollination Services in the Eastern AmazonNeotropical Entomology - Tập 49 - Trang 545-556 - 2020
R C Borges, R M Brito, V L Imperatriz-Fonseca, T C Giannini
Nature safeguards living organisms and the ecosystem functions and services
delivered by them. Animal pollination is an important Ecosystem Service since it
plays a key role for achieving the sustainable development goals by safeguarding
worldwide food production. Thus, conservation of pollination services is a major
priority for guaranteeing global food security in the long term. Here we
evaluate... hiện toàn bộ
The Potential of Plant-Based Biorational Products for the Drosophila suzukii Control: Current Status, Opportunities, and LimitationsNeotropical Entomology - - Trang 1-8 - 2023
Vinícius Fonsêca dos Santos, Lenon Morales Abeijon, Sabrina Helena da Cruz Araújo, Flávio Roberto Mello Garcia, Eugênio Eduardo de Oliveira
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive species
that causes serious damage to soft-skinned fruits. The use of plant-based
biorational insecticides (plant extracts and essential oils) to control this
pest has grown extensively. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
to examine the current status, trends, and perspectives of these studies, with a
focus on t... hiện toàn bộ
