Effect of temperature on the fecundity of Pezothrips kellyanus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
(2012)The reproductive biology of a citrus pest Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) was studied at four constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 30°C) on lemon leaf discs, under laboratory conditions. Lifetime fecundity of mated P. ... -
The effects of geographic origin and antibiotic treatment on the gut symbiotic communities of Bactrocera oleae populations
(2019)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the major insect pest of olive orchards (Olea europaea L.), causing extensive damages on cultivated olive crops worldwide. Due to its economic ... -
Evaluation of Carifend®, an alpha-cypermethrin-coated polyester net, for the control of Lasioderma serricorne and Ephestia elutella in stored tobacco
(2018)The use of insecticide-treated nets has lately attracted scientific interest for the management of mosquitoes and related species, as well as for crop pest control and the protection of stored agricultural commodities. In ... -
Factors affecting field performance of pheromone traps for tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne, and tobacco moth, Ephestia elutella
(2018)Tobacco beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), is one of the most serious insect pests of stored tobacco, and traps baited with the female-produced sex pheromone, serricornin, are used for monitoring ... -
From lethality to mortality: exploring the “grey area” of knockdown as an efficacy indicator of different insecticides against major storage insects using a lethality index
(2018)In the present work, a lethality index was applied for the evaluation of three insecticides with different modes of action, i.e., thiamethoxam, chlorfenapyr and lambda-cyhalothrin, as surface treatment against adults of ... -
Insecticidal efficacy of six new pyrrole derivatives against four stored-product pests
(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 ... -
Male multiple matings and reproductive success in commodity-adapted strains of Sitophilus oryzae
(2018)Multiple matings occur in many species of stored-grain insect pests, such as the rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae (L.), with both female and male mating more than once and with more than one partner. Multiple female mating ... -
Multiple behavioural asymmetries impact male mating success in the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium
(2017)Extensive research has recently been conducted to shed light on mating behavioural asymmetries in various species of vertebrates. However, little is available on this key issue for invertebrates, especially for species of ... -
A new monomeric α-amylase inhibitor from the tetraploid emmer wheat is mostly active against stored product pests
(2022)Abstract: The tetraploid domesticated emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum L. subsp. dicoccon, expresses α-amylase protein inhibitors of varying sizes and assemblies, i.e. dimers and heterotetramers of polypeptide chains of about ... -
Parasitoids associated with Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) and Malacosoma neustria (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) in Greece and comparative analysis of their parasitoid spectrums in Europe
(2017)The parasitoids of European gypsy moth Lymantria d. dispar (L.) and Lackey moth Malacosoma n. neustria (L.) in Greece were investigated. In total, twelve parasitoid species emerged from different larval instars of both ... -
A review of more than 30 years of cytogenetic studies of Tephritidae in support of sterile insect technique and global trade
(2017)Cytogenetics of Tephritidae has contributed for more than 30 years to the efficient control of pest members of this family and the species delimitation among them. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a species-specific ... -
Toxicity of propylene oxide alone and in combination with low pressure or carbon dioxide against life stages of Ephestia cautella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) under laboratory conditions
(2017)A series of tests was carried out in the laboratory for comparison of the insecticidal effect of propylene oxide (PPO) alone and in combination with low pressure and/or elevated levels of carbon dioxide against eggs, larvae, ...
