Rearing of Diamondback Moth
Mass rearing methods on artificial diets and cruciferous seedlings for the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L, are reviewed and described briefly.
متن کاملSchedule-induced polydipsia is associated with increased spine density in dorsolateral striatum neurons.
Schedule-induced polydipsia (SIP) is an adjunctive behavior in which rats exhibit excessive drinking as a consequence of intermittent feeding, and it has been proposed as a candidate model to study the development of compulsive and repetitive behavior. Although several brain structures are involved in compulsive behavior, it has been suggested that alterations in fronto-striatal circuits may un...
متن کاملEntomopathogenic Hyphomycetes Associated with Gypsy Moth Larvae
Gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, populations were sampled in four eastern North American states during 1991 and 1992 to evaluate levels of hyphomycete infection in association with releases of the Asian gypsy moth pathogen Entomophaga maimaiga. Paecilomyces farinosus was the most abundant hyphomycete species, occurring at the majority of sites, although levels of infection averaged only 4.6% (1991...
متن کاملEvaluation of preventive treatments in low-density gypsy moth populations using pheromone traps.
Pheromone traps can be used for evaluating the success of treatments that are applied to either eradicate or delay the growth of isolated low-density populations of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.). We developed an index of treatment success, T, that measures the reduction in moth counts in the block treated adjusted by the change in moth counts in the reference area around it. This index ...
متن کاملMaternal Effects in Gypsy Moth: Only Sex Ratio Varies with Population Density
A number of species of forest caterpillars fluctuate in density with a periodicity of 8–11 yr. One explanation for these ‘‘cycles’’ is that changes in food quality or quantity and crowding influence the growth rate and final size of moths at high density. Carryover of these influences to the next generation through maternal effects could modify the dynamics of the population. To determine wheth...
