Males of the cicada Okanagana rimosa (Homoptera: Cicadidae) that produce calling songs are parasitised by the parasitoid fly Emblemasoma auditrix (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). An ethogram of the infection behavior was extracted from videotaped experiments with tethered hosts. The infection behavior can be divided into three phases, each involving different sensory cues: long-range host detection vi...

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is a devastating fruit fly pest in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Like other insects, this fly uses its chemosensory system to efficiently interact with its environment. However, our understanding of the molecular components comprising B. dorsalis chemosensory system is limited. Using next generation sequencing technologies, we sequenced the tr...

Penanganan sampah metode biokonversi bantuan larva Black soldier Fly (BSF) dan bioaktivator EM-4 dapat mengurangi kapasitas limbah bermanfaat bagi Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan kemampuan antara agen ...

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been successfully used as a model animal for the study of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of learning and memory. Although most of the Drosophila learning studies have used the adult fly, the relative complexity of its neural network hinders cellular and molecular studies at high resolution. In contrast, the Drosophila larva has a simple brain with...

We investigated the potential impact of three opiine tephritid fruit fly parasitoids: Fopius arisanus (Sonan), Fopius caudatus (Szépligeti) and Fopius ceratitivorus Wharton, on the non-target native Hawaiian tephritid, Trupanea dubautiae (Bryan), infesting flowerheads of the endemic Asteraceae shrub Dubautia raillardioides Hillebrand. The three species are the only known opiine fruit fly parasi...

Akan tetapi, anggota komunitas memiliki kendala dalam pengadaan pakan ayam, pengelolaan sampah organik. Tujuan dari pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini ialah meningkatkan pengetahuan organik tangga memberikan pelatihan budidaya larva BSF sebag...

Black soldier fly larva can renovate biological trashes into valuable nutrients, for instance, proteins, lipids, and chitin, which decrease ecological encumbrance happening due to organic wastes accumulation. Even though rapid demand proteinaceous food is predictable, insects got less attention in the animal feed business primarily technical monetary hurdles. Moreover, many times research highl...
