Rate of development of Hydrotaea rostrata under summer and winter (cyclic and constant) temperature regimes.

The black carrion fly Hydrotaea rostrata Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Muscidae) is a muscid, which occurs on approximately one-third of decomposing human corpses involved in homicide cases in south-western Australia. Work to date on its development rates is scant with only one published source available. The current study measured the precise developmental rates of this species using high repeti...

Sitona lineatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larval Feeding on Pisum sativum L. Affects Soil and Plant Nitrogen

Adults of Sitona lineatus (pea leaf weevil, PLW) feed on foliage of several Fabaceae species but larvae prefer to feed on nodules of Pisum sativum L. and Vicia faba L. Indirectly, through their feeding on rhizobia, weevils can reduce soil and plant available nitrogen (N). However, initial soil N can reduce nodulation and damage by the weevil and reduce control requirements. Understanding these ...

Dependence of Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) larvae on abundance of white clover Rhizobium nodules.

Sitona lepidus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) was first recognized in New Zealand pastures in the Waikato in March 1996 (Barratt et al., 1996). In Europe and North America, the species is considered to be a significant pest of clovers (Barratt et al., 1996 and references therein). However, white clover Trifolium repens L. (Fabaceae) is the key to profitability in New Zealand‘s pastoral i...
