The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), is widely considered to be the most devastating pest of coffee. Endemic to Central Africa, the coffee berry borer can now be found in most coffee growing regions throughout the world (Le Pelley 1968). Annual losses caused by this insect have been estimated at over $500 million annually (P. Baker, CABI Bioscience, UK; ...

This paper deals with the problem of the projection of arguments, i.e., how the arguments of a predicate are integrated into a syntactic structure. My starting point is the model offered in Borer (1993). This model is defined by Borer as a 'syntactic predicate based account' of the projection of arguments. In the next section I will briefly sketch the different approaches to the problem of argu...

In the Ozark Mountains of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, an oak decline event, coupled with epidemic populations of red oak borer (Enaphalodes rufulus Haldeman), has resulted in extensive red oak (Quercus spp., section Lobatae) mortality. Twenty-four northern red oak trees, Quercus rubra L., infested with red oak borer, were felled in the Ozark National Forest between March 2002 and J...

Efforts to maximise crop yields are fuelling agricultural intensification, exacerbating the biodiversity crisis. Low-intensity agricultural practices, however, may not sacrifice yields if they support biodiversity-driven ecosystem services. We quantified the value native predators provide to farmers by consuming coffee's most damaging insect pest, the coffee berry borer beetle (Hypothenemus ham...

Cohorts of emerald ash borer larvae, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, were experimentally established in July of 2008 on healthy green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) trees in two wooded plots at each of three sites near Lansing, MI, by caging gravid emerald ash borer females or placing laboratory-reared eggs on trunks (0.5-2 m above the ground) of selected trees. One plot at each site was randomly ...

In this study, the effects of different types nethouses viz., NH1, NH2, and NH3, were investigated at research farm Olericulture Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) from Sep 2021 to Mar 2022 compared control (open field) in terms incidence white fly, aphid, leaf miners, mites, eggplant shoot fruit borer (ESFB). This study included six vegetables 1) Tomato, 2) Eggplant, 3...

The parasitic nematode Metaparasitylenchus hypothenemi (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) was first reported infecting the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari); Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) in coffee plantations of Chiapas, Mexico (Castillo, Infante, Barrera, Carta, & Vega, 2002), and was later described as a new species (Poinar, Vega, Castillo, Chavez, & Infante, 2004). This...
