(2018-04-23)Mass mortality events (MME) impact local ecosystems especially in systems where insects play a major role in recycling carrion. Insects may be unable to efficiently recycle the carrion. Selecting the appropriate taxonomic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)A series of laboratory, greenhouse and field studies were conducted to assess the feasibility of using Chrysopa carnea Stephens for controlling populations of the bollworm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), and the tobacco budworm, ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)Studies were conducted to determine the effect of the thermoperiod and photoperiod on the diel sensitivity of the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Bohemn, to organophosphorus insecticides. Other studies related to insecticide ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The objective of this study was to elucidate edaphic factors that contribute to population outbreaks of the lesser cornstalk borer (LCB). Outbreaks of the LCB are favored in years of high temperature and low rainfall, and ...

Effect of Larval Secretions and Excretion on Selection of Food Source by Dermestes maculatus DeGeer (2017-04-25)Necrophagous insects utilize cues such as volatiles and compounds in the environment, collectively known as public information, while locating ephemeral resources such as a decaying corpse. Volatiles, including those emitted ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The effects of the northern fowl mite, Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fanzago), on body weight, reproductive potential and hematology of White Leghorn roosters were studied. Mean body weight was approximately 100 ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The results of laboratory tests indicated diapausing Psorophora columbiae eggs were more tolerant to the low temperatures used (8° to -6°C) than were non-diapausing eggs, particularly at temperatures equal to and below ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The effects of varying dietary nitrogen, lipid and sucrose on diet consumption, nutrient utilization and reproductive allocation were studied in the female boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera:Curculionidae). ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)Early nymphal mortality in the cotton fleahopper, Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter), was increased in constant temperatures below 23.6°C or above 29.4°C. Nymphal to adult stage survival in 40.6, 12.8 and 15.0°C regimens ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The efficacy of greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), natural enemies was determined in grain sorghum using mechanical exclusion techniques and paired comparison experimental approaches. Indirect methods of evaluation ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Diapause induction responses for Psorophora columbiae were investigated in photoperiod- and temperatue-controlled growth chambers. The results of these studies demonstrated that egg diapause was induced by photoperiods ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)These studies were designed to investigate effects of a corpora cardiaca (CC) extract upon oocyte maturation, respiration and synthesis of mitochondrial respiratory enzymes in females of the cockroach, Blaberus discoidalis ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Analysis of the meterological data showed a high degree of accuracy was obtained from microclimate data for predicting biological events of Amblyomma maculatum Koch. The main factor affecting developmental and survival ...
