Xylophagous buprestid (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) and cerambycid beetles Cerambycidae) associated with common fig or "higuera", Ficus carica L. (Moraceae), were studied in small orchards from Morelos, Mexico. Three species of Buprestidae 11 Cerambycidae identified. The cerambycids Eutrichillus comus Bates Neoptychodes trilineatus (L.) the most prevalent abundant reared sampled orchards. is recorded for first time as a host buprestids Acmaeodera rustica Fischer, Chrysobothris analis LeConte,...
Despite its high ecological importance, the commensal interactions at community level are poorly studied. In tropical dry forests (TDF) there is a great diversity of species adapted to seasonality that characterizes them; however, little known regarding how spatial and temporal availability resources generates changes in pattern interactions. We experimentally studied diversity, composition, spatio-temporal associations between saproxylophagous beetles their host trees TDF Morelos, Mexico. A...
Longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) feed during their larval stage on wood from recently dead or diseased trees and may have a wide variety of hosts. However, reports hosts for Cerambycidae could be misinterpreted field observations. The use freshly cut branches to attract longhorn is method that provides reliable information about which they use. This study new records in the tropical dry forest San Andres de la Cal, Morelos, Mexico. In area, species woody plants were sampled, each...
Abstract Few studies test the host specificity of tropical dry forest cerambycids, in this study, we examined preferences cerambycids a central Mexico and association cerambycid richness abundance with physical characteristics wood their plants. Branch segments 81 species woody plants were cut left exposed to allow oviposition, branches collected placed emergence chambers. We measured density, decomposition rate, volume for each branch segment. Fifty‐seven emerged. categorized by degree...
The sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sorghi Theobald, 1904 (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is the most important pest of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench (Poaceae), in Mexico. Control M. depends primarily on synthetic chemical insecticides, but new alternatives have been explored, such as botanical insecticides. objective this research was to evaluate aphidicide effect extract nhexane and methanol from stems Ceiba aesculifolia (Malvaceae) against apterous adults vitro. results revealed that n-hexane C. killed...
El áfido del sorgo, Melanaphis sorghi Theobald (Hemiptera: Aphididae), es la principal plaga Sorghum bicolor L. Moench (Poaceae), en México. Actualmente se están explorando nuevas alternativas para el control de este insecto, como extractos plantas y moléculas grado técnico. Evaluamos tres ácidos grasos (ácido cis-10-heptadecenoico, ácido palmítico docosanoico) dos alcanos (pentadecano octadecano) in vitro contra adultos ápteros M. sorghi. Los resultados mostraron que presentó las tasas...
Abstract The armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is the main pest that attacks corn, and it has acquired resistance to chemical insecticides. In this study, insecticidal insectistatic activity of hexanic, acetonic, methanolic, aqueous extracts four genotypes physic nut Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae) seeds (Utim 1, Utim 2, Ahuehuetzingo, Ceprobi) against S. larvae was assessed. acetonic extract at 5,000 ppm 1 genotype, presented by decreasing weight gain 7...
Abstract 1. There is little information on tropical dry forests regarding cerambycids and their relationship with seasonality, vertical stratification, physical characteristics of the wood they require to develop. 2. In this work, we determined whether in a forest central Mexico differed selection oviposition sites two different strata throughout seasons; between time exposure branches emergence cerambycids; these insects relation its stratification seasonality; if there was seasonal shift...
