Abstract The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773), is native to Asia but has been introduced many countries, both intentionally and unintentionally. In the Middle East region, H. was so far only known from Iran Turkey. This study reports for first time a country with hot desert climate, Saudi Arabia. single specimen that found most likely result of unintentional release. Successful spreading in Arabia will be limited because high temperatures during summer scarcity prey...
Climate change has a substantial impact on the quality and diversity of insect pests, which may have adverse ecological economic effects. The family Chrysomelidae represents one most economically ecologically important groups within Coleoptera, with species acting as agricultural pests contributing substantially to biodiversity in arid regions. Based bioclimatic, topographic, vegetation data, current future distributions 4 chrysomelids (Caryedon acaciae (Gyllenhal, 1833), Chaetocnema pulla...
This study was conducted as a part of comprehensive baseline survey insect biodiversity Rawdhat Khorim National Park (RKNP), Central Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA). During this total 262 Coleoptera species belong to 182 genera in 35 families were identified, which 247 are named at level. Fifteen (6.0%) apparently endemic KSA. Thirty-eight new the known beetle fauna KSA, including 25 reported from Arabian Peninsula for first time. The Tenebrionidae (45 species), Scarabaeidae (34 and Carabidae (27...
Pheromone traps play a crucial role in the integrated pest management of red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). The objective this study was to increase effectiveness pheromone by evaluating effects location, temperature, degree fruit fermentation, and lure source on weevil capture rates. Traps baited with either Ferrolure or Rhylure were positioned 3 rows checked twice per wk for 12 starting 20 Apr 2019. Overall weekly rate trap varied from 1.25...
The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (RPW) is a destructive insect pest of trees, destroying thousands date trees in Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA) and other countries. Radio telemetry has provided beneficial knowledge on the movements, habitat preference, reproductive behaviors numerous species animals. In this study, we tracked movements preferences RPW orchards KSA using radio with without use pheromone traps. This study first to track individual adult production orchards....
ABSTRACT The Samsum (black) ant, Pachycondyla sennaarensis (Formicidae; Hymenoptera) is widely distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa, and it also the most common species of family in southern Arabia. ant very invasive economically damaging has become a big problem Saudi Arabia other distribution countries due to their aggressive nature, severe stings, harm agriculture, natural ecosystems, human health. physicochemical properties varied effects against insect pests make plant extracts...
The members of Coccinellidae are among the most important biological control agents being used throughout world. objective this study was to provide current scenario family in Saudi Arabia. Collection surveys ladybird individuals were conducted A total 5400 specimens collected belonging 51 species 19 genera and seven tribes: Sticholotidini (2 / 10 species), Coccidulini (1/3), Scymnini (4/24), Diomini (1/1), Hyperaspidini Chilocorini (3/8), Noviini Coccinellini (8/11), Epilachnini (2/2). One...
Background: The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera) is a pest of worldwide distribution and can cause destructive damage to stored grains. physicochemical properties varied effects against insect pests make plant extracts potential alternative in the development pesticides. Methods: In this study, we assayed oleander leaf extract toxicity T. adults laboratory. We used four concentrations Oleander methanol extract. Result: Exposure adult produced 100%...
