13. Survivorship and Egg Production of Phytophagous Pentatomids in Laboratory Rearing
Survivorship and reproductive performance of the pentatomids Euschistus heros (F.) (EH), Nezara viridula (L.) (NV), and Dichelops melacanthus (Dallas) (DM) were tested in the laboratory. A mixture of natural foods (pods of green beans, Phaseolus vulgaris, raw shelled peanuts, Arachis hypogaea, and fruits of privet, Ligustrum lucidum, and 50 pairs/box (25 x 2

14. Spider mites associated to soybean in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
The objective of this work was to study the occurrence and geographic distribution of phytophagous mites associated to soybean in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Samplings were performed from January to May 2005 on genetically modified soybean (glyphosate-tolerant) crops, in 27 municipalities of six regions ? Alto Vale do Uruguai, Campanha, Depressão Central, Pl

15. Influence of rainfall on mite distribution in organic and conventional coffee systems.
Climate changes, such as temperature rise, prolonged drought and heavy rainfall, impair human activities, especially the food production sector. Rainfall is one of the most important natural, life-sustaining factors on the planet and it is essential in agriculture, not only to water plants, but also in regulating pest organisms in crops through mechanical co

17. Aging and food source effects on mandibular stylets teeth wear of phytophagous stink bug (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
Studies were conducted to test the effect of age and food sources on wear of the mandibular teeth of the phytophagous pentatomid, Euschistus heros (F.). The total length (µm) of the area bearing the mandibular teeth, the length of the 1st tooth, and the height of the 2nd tooth for teneral (< 1 day-old) adults were significantly greater than that of adults f

18. New host-plant records for the defoliator Ormiscodes amphimone (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)
Ormiscodes amphimone (Fabricius) is a phytophagous moth species known to severely defoliate woody species in Chile and Argentina. Here we document new records of O. amphimonehost associations emphasizing the role of Nothofagus pumilio as its primary host in our study area. This new record for Argentina is highly significant given the economic importance of N

19. Response of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) to volatiles produced by strawberry plants in response to attack by Tetranychid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae: Tetranychidae)
The attack of phytophagous mites may induce plants to produce volatiles, which in turn may attract predators. The occurrence of multiple phytophagous infestations on plants may influence predator response. In this paper, we investigated whether the attraction of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) to phytophagous-infested plants would change w

20. How specialists can be generalists: resolving the "parasite paradox" and implications for emerging infectious disease
The parasite paradox arises from the dual observations that parasites (broadly construed, including phytophagous insects) are resource specialists with restricted host ranges, and yet shifts onto relatively unrelated hosts are common in the phylogenetic diversification of parasite lineages and directly observable in ecological time. We synthesize the emergin

21. Effect of conspecific and plant volatiles of Murraya paniculata (L.) JACK, Psidium guajava L. and Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck on the behavior OF Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) / Efeito dos coespecíficos e voláteis das plantas Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack, Psidium guajava L. e Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck sobre o comportamento de Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera:Psyllidae)
The agro-ecosystems consist of complex trophic relationships between plants, herbivores and their natural enemies. It is known that the majority of plants can produce volatiles compounds used as chemical signals by different groups of insects. These compounds can be produced constitutively in healthy plants, i.e., without induction. In other hand, the produc

22. Effects of genetically modified cotton (Bollgard®) on non-target organisms / Efeitos do algodoeiro geneticamente modificado (Bollgard®) em organismos não-alvo
The effects of the genetically modified cotton (Bollgard®) expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry1Ac toxin on non-target arthropods was evaluated under laboratory and field studies. Evaluations of arthropod abundance on Bollgard® cotton (Delta Pine 90) and on its isoline (Acala 90) were carried out during three consecutive field seasons. The first stud

23. Interações ecológicas em Malpighiaceae no cerrado: compartilhamento de guildas de herbívoros e variações nos resultados da interação formiga-planta / Ecological interactions in Malpighiaceae in the Cerrado: sharing of guilds from herbivores and variations in the results of ant-plant interaction
Ecological interactions represent essential tools for a better understanding of natural communities, having in animal-plant relationships important models for study. For that, become needful phenological analyses of plants, capable of demonstrating the flowering strategies and with it the ways of temporal organization of resources available for herbivores. T

24. História natural da erva-de-passarinho Psittacanthus robustus (Loranthaceae) em uma área de campo rupestre do sudeste brasileiro : interações com hospedeiras, dispersores, polinizadores e insetos herbívoros / Natural history of the mistletoe Psittacanthus robustus (Loranthaceae) at a rupestrian filed site in southeastern Brazil : interactions with hosts, seed dispersers, pollinators and insect herbivores
In this study I investigated some aspects of the natural history of the woody mistletoe Psittacanthus robustus Mart. (Loranthaceae) in rocky outcrops in the Serra do Cipó, southeastern Brazil. This species was recorded parasitizing eight host species in Five families, although trees within Vochysiaceae comprise the main hosts. Pattern of distribution was cl
