Asymmetry of mating behaviour affects copulation success in two stored-product beetles

Benelli G., Romano D., Stefanini C., Kavallieratos N.G., Athanassiou C.G., Canale A. (2017)

Lateralization (i.e. left–right asymmetries in the brain and behaviour) has been documented in all vertebrate classes, while evidences for invertebrates are limited. To the best of our knowledge, there is no information ...

Bioassays with diatomaceous earth formulations: Effect of species co-occurrence, size of vials and application technique

Kavallieratos, N. G.; Athanassiou, C. G.; Mpassoukou, A. E.; Mpakou, F. D.; Tomanović, T.; Manessioti, T. B.; Papadopoulou, S. C. (2012)

Two series of laboratory bioassays were carried out in order to evaluate the effect of the simultaneous presence of two insect species inside the experimental vials and the effect of different sizes (50, 65, 90, 145 mm in ...

Combined toxicity of cannabidiol oil with three bio-pesticides against adults of sitophilus zeamais, rhyzopertha dominica, prostephanus truncatus and trogoderma granarium

Mantzoukas S., Kalyvas N., Ntoukas A., Lagogiannis I., Farsalinos K., Eliopoulos P.A., Poulas K. (2020)

The present study investigates the interaction between cannabidiol (CBD) oil and three biopesticides: Azatin and two baculovirus formulations (Madex and Helicovex), both separately and in combination, in order to investigate ...

Influence of grain type on the efficacy of spinetoram for the control of Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus granarius and Sitophilus oryzae

Vassilakos, T. N.; Athanassiou, C. G.; Tsiropoulos, N. G. (2015)

The efficacy of spinetoram against adults of three major stored grain beetle species, the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae), the granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius (L.) (Coleoptera: ...

Insecticidal efficacy of six new pyrrole derivatives against four stored-product pests

Boukouvala M.C., Kavallieratos N.G., Athanassiou C.G., Benelli G., Hadjiarapoglou L.P. (2019)

Several pyrrole derivatives exhibit insecticidal activity and can be effective as grain protectants. In the present study, we evaluate the insecticidal efficacy of six novel pyrrole derivatives, namely methyl 3-(methylth ...

Temperature-Mediated Competition between the Invasive Larger Grain Borer (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and the Cosmopolitan Maize Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Quellhorst H., Athanassiou C.G., Bruce A., Scully E.D., Morrison W.R. (2020)

Interspecific competition between agricultural pests may affect the species that can establish, and may also affect food production. Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), the larger grain borer, is endemic to Central America, but ...
