Orius insidiosus (Say) and O. pumilio (Champion) were confirmed to be sympatric in north central Florida as the major predators of the Florida flower thrips, Frankliniella bispinosa (Morgan), on flowers of Queen Anne's lace, Daucus carota L. and false Queen Anne's lace, Ammi majus L. F. bispinosa was the predominant thrips observed on both flowers but colonized D. carota to a greater extent an...

Commonly, invaders have different impacts in different places. The spread of cane toads (Rhinella marina: Bufonidae) has been devastating for native fauna in tropical Australia, but the toads' impact remains unstudied in temperate-zone Australia. We surveyed habitat characteristics and fauna in campgrounds along the central eastern coast of Australia, in eight sites that have been colonized by ...

We are evaluating systemic insecticides for the management of current and newly emerging pests of California avocados. Studies are being conducted in commercial avocado groves, under normal agronomic practices. Trees are treated using a variety of techniques – soil application, trunk injection – to establish the methods that will provide the best uptake of insecticide for the protection of the ...

We consider spread-out models of self-avoiding walk, bond percolation, lattice trees and bond lattice animals on Zd, having long finite-range connections, above their upper critical dimensions d = 4 (self-avoiding walk), d = 6 (percolation) and d = 8 (trees and animals). The two-point functions for these models are respectively the generating function for selfavoiding walks from the origin to x...

Abstract We study lattice trees (LTs) and animals (LAs) on the nearest-neighbor $${\mathbb {Z}}^d$$ Z d in high dimensions. prove that LTs LAs display mean-field behavior above dimension $$16$$ 16 $$17$$ 17 , resp...
