The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, reared for sericulture, has gained attention as a promising, sustainable protein source. While studies have focused on pupal powders obtained through natural or artificial mulberry-based diets, this research builds ethnoentomological knowledge of the use dandelion short-term mulberry substitute, in mixed mulberry–dandelion diet throughout larval development. Through proximate analyses, amino acid and fatty profiling, mineral carbohydrate composition,...
Unraveling multiple layers of collective behavior outside the well-known isopteran and hymenopteran societies was a tall order for scientific community, especially in case gregarious juveniles Lepidoptera. Often protected with solid silk shelter, devoid reproductive division labor or conventional forms parental care, caterpillar aggregations have rarely been considered terms economic importance. Of over 60 European communal species, 24 can be associated voracious feeding habits, thus...
The life history strategies of solitary and gregarious Microgastrinae parasitoids are both valued for their potential in biological control, but they have rarely been directly compared to fully understand roles integrated pest management (IPM) programs. This paper provides a detailed comparison these two strategies, focusing on critical traits, such as host specialisation, mating behaviour, the mechanisms used overcome immune defences. Instead treating holistically, study isolates examines...
Razvojna ploča Mikroe3328 Altitude 3 Click sa ugrađenim senzorom barometarskog pritiska i temperature ICP-10100 u ovom projektu iskorišćena je za potrebe merenja samog pritiska, temperature, kao nadmorske visine pomoću Nucleo okruženja. Korišćeni su softverski alati STM32CubeMX KeiluVision.
The diversity of species Cotesia Cameron, 1891 for the territory Serbia is given as a faunistic survey. paper presents results research in period from 1902 to 2021. Literature, databases and new, unpublished records were combined comprehensive list species, with notes on localities, dates, number sexes individuals. In total, 35 are presented, which 11 registered first time. most often collected ofella C. tibialis.
Identification of exophytophagous lepidopteran larvae is a necessity for researchers in biological disciplines ranging from biodiversity inventorying to research parasitoid evolution and species monitoring. The lack expertise the field jeopardizes outcomes further investigations recording multilevel plasticity juvenile Lepidoptera. This paper offers an improvement existing haphazard approach by developing 41 simplified characters that include 150 morphological, behavioral autecological...
The parasitoid species Ephedrus plagiator (Nees, 1811) (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae) is one of the most important biological agents against pest aphids. We investigated whether this was in competition with some other aphidiine for same hosts. thus examined its potential programs to control applied an unsupervised artificial neural network, a self-organizing map (SOM), which classified competitive parasitoids into seven groups. SOM also visualized distributional pattern 31 wasps along revealing...
Ichneumonid Agrypon polyxenae is a solitary larval-pupal endoparasitoid developing within the caterpillars of genus Zerynthia and distributed in western Palearctic. Z. polyxena most common host, with its feeding on highly poisonous Aristolochia species. Here we report A. parasitising for first time Serbia provide short species description. This parasitoid has also been recorded rumina Spain. We suggest some evidence presence newly described cassandra Italy.
