<title>Abstract</title> The productivity of eucalyptus is threatened by several pests, including the red gum lerp psyllid, Glycaspis brimblecombei, which causes significant losses in forest systems. In Brazil, lacewings Ceraeochrysa cubana and Chrysoperla externa are common plantations, but little known about behavior these predators toward psyllid. This study evaluated predatory larvae both lacewing species on psyllid eggs nymphs. Subsequently, capacity functional response C. were...

Antimicrobial proteins of the regenerating family member 3 alpha (REG3A) provide a first line protection against infections and transformed cells. Their expression is inducible by inflammation, which makes their role in cancer biology less clear since an immune-inflammatory context may preexist or coexist with cancer, as occurs HCC. The aim this study to clarify REG3A liver carcinogenesis determine whether its carbohydrate-binding functions are involved.

Defoliation by leaf-cutting ants in commercial forest plantations is one of the leading causes biomass and productivity losses affecting all Brazilian industrial forest. Thus, development monitoring tools that allow extracting information below surface large areas, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, crucial. This work presents a method for ant nest size estimation based on SAR images. A field study carried out using drone-borne system to survey eucalyptus helical flight pattern...

Thaumastocoris peregrinus (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae), the bronze bug, is among many species of insect pests affecting commercial Eucalyptus forests in Brazil. T. reduces photosynthetic ability trees and some cases can lead to complete death trees. This research aims assess potential freely available medium-resolution Landsat 8 imagery predicting mapping attacks caused by bug plantations Brazil using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The PLS-DA model selected three...

Abstract Diaphania hyalinata (Linnaeus, 1767) is one of the main pests cucurbit crops. Biological control and botanicals are used in integrated pest management (IPM), especially agro-ecological agricultures where use synthetic pesticides restricted. Toxicological effects plant essential oils on target nontarget organisms should be evaluated to determine its IPM. The toxicity ginger, peppermint, oregano, thyme D. eggs, larvae, pupae their selectivity parasitoid Trichospilus pupivorus LC50,...
