The Influence of the Physiological Stage of Lucilia Caesar (L.) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Females on the Attraction of Carrion Odor
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 28 - Trang 183-201 - 2015
Julia Kasper, Stephen Hartley, Sonia Schatkowski, Hannelore Hoch
In this study, the relationship between physiological conditions, including oogenesis and gravidity, and attraction to carcass odors was examined in order to discover how the attractivity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) varied in females of the necrophagous fly Lucilia caesar (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Thus we want to shed some light on settlement behavior of scavenger flies. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Material Benefits from Multiple Mating in Female Mealworm Beetles (Tenebrio molitor L.)
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 215-230 - 2001
Drnevich, J. M., Papke, R. S., Rauser, C. L., Rutowski, R. L.
In yellow mealworm beetles (Tenebrio molitor), females are sexually receptive throughout their adult lives. We examined how access to mates affected female fecundity by varying the number of matings per female and quantifying cumulative egg production. Also, we dissected females at successive intervals after a single mating to assess the relationship among time since mating, sperm supplies, egg lo...... hiện toàn bộ
Horn Length Is the Determining Factor in the Outcomes of Escalated Fights Among Male Japanese Horned Beetles, Allomyrina dichotoma L. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 805-815 - 2005
Kenji Karino, Hisatsugu Niiyama, Mutsumi Chiba
Male horn length in some horned beetles shows a sigmoidal relationship with body size. This has often been considered as the reflection of alternative reproductive tactics of males based on body size. Large males should possess long horns to acquire females through fights with other males using their horns, whereas small males do not require long horns because they usually avoid intermale fights a...... hiện toàn bộ
Colony Dehydration and Water Collection by Specialized Caste in the Leaf-Cutting Ant Atta Sexdens Rubropilosa
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 549-558 - 2008
Pedro Leite Ribeiro, Carlos A. Navas
Social organization enables leaf-cutting ants to keep appropriate micro-ecological nest conditions for the fungus garden (their main food), eggs, larvae and adults. To maintain stability while facing changing conditions, individual ants must perceive destabilising factors and produce a proper behavioral response. We investigated behavioral responses to experimental dehydration in leaf-cutting ants...... hiện toàn bộ
Diel feeding behavior in larvae of four odonate species
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 253-264 - 1993
Frank Johansson
The diel feeding behavior of four coexisting odonate larvae, Aeshna juncea, Coenagrion hastulatum, Cordulia aenea,and Leucorrhinia dubiawas studied in the laboratory. C. hastulatumand L. dubiawere equally active during day and night. While C. hastulatumconsumed an equal number of prey during day and night, L. dubiaconsumed more prey during night. In contrast, A. juncealarvae were most active and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Sexual Size Dimorphism and Aggressive Interactions under Starvation Conditions in the Seed Bug Togo hemipterus (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae)
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 242-253 - 2012
Chihiro Himuro, Kenji Fujisaki
Ontogeny of the Defensive Stinging Behavior of the Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 147-152 - 2008
K. L. Haight
The fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, appears to deviate from the usual age-related pattern of defensive behavior seen in other social insects; instead of older workers being more defensive than younger ones, they are less so. Here I test this pattern by quantifying changes in the defensive stinging behavior of S. invicta workers of known age. I found defensiveness, measured as both the number of stin...... hiện toàn bộ

Influence of Parasitoid States on the Propensity to Enter and the Stay in a Patch
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 35 - Trang 56-64 - 2022
Sheng Zhang, Bo Qian, Amna Ilyas, Xiao-meng Gong, Jing Xu, Peng-cheng Liu, Hao-yuan Hu
Patch exploitation strategies have received considerable attention since the development of the marginal value theorem. As an excellent biological research object, parasitoids have been extensively studied in regard to patch exploitation, including the effect of parasitoid states. Longevity and fecundity are state-dependent traits that may affect foraging decisions, oviposition behavior and patch ...... hiện toàn bộ
Flying Insect Classification with Inexpensive Sensors
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 27 - Trang 657-677 - 2014
Yanping Chen, Adena Why, Gustavo Batista, Agenor Mafra-Neto, Eamonn Keogh
The ability to use inexpensive, noninvasive sensors to accurately classify flying insects would have significant implications for entomological research, and allow for the development of many useful applications in vector control for both medical and agricultural entomology. Given this, the last sixty years have seen many research efforts on this task. To date, however, none of this research has h...... hiện toàn bộ
