Insect carrion communities vary among habitats and over time. Concerning the dipteran early colonizers of carrion, use small bait traps should be accurate because odors emitted from meat baits contain many volatile organic compounds freshly dead mammals. In addition, this kind trap is easy to replicate set in position a given habitat. present study, preferences Diptera were examined an urban biotope. Specifically, three compared (pork muscle, pork liver, fish flavored cat food) respect...
Abstract The consumption of edible pine seeds stone by the invasive L eptoglossus occidentalis represents a major concern for producers in M editerranean countries but, to date, little knowledge is available about its feeding process on these seeds. In present study, we tested whether . capable upon mature and also estimated impact that they may induce. Sound were offered bugs under laboratory conditions. Seed content was analyzed via multitechnique approach using stereomicroscope, X ‐rays...

The invasive seed bug Leptoglossusoccidentalis , a species native to Western North America, is of major concern for the producers stone pine seeds in Mediterranean countries. large size these edible and their nutritive content may represent pull factor bug. Cone traits three main species: P.pinea P.pinaster P.halepensis were evaluated. Preference trials with cone-bearing branches, individual cones conducted test host preference among species. Considering kernel size, provide 4 13 times more...
Abstract Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann (Heteroptera: Coreidae), commonly known as western conifer seed bug (WCSB), is an invasive pest in the Mediterranean, where it has been associated with decline of Pinus pinea L. kernel production. A biological control WCSB populations native egg parasitoids may reduce economic losses. With purpose to obtaining masses laid situ bags WCSB, adults were placed, for three consecutive years, a clone bank, and 1 year, pine forest Central Spain. To...
Abstract The Western conifer seed bug Leptoglossus occidentalis , a native insect of North America, was accidentally introduced in Europe the late 1990s. Since then, it has spread rapidly. Biological control could provide an efficient management option but natural enemies pest have been poorly examined Europe. In this study, we exposed sentinel egg masses and collected naturally laid southern France 2016 2017, to identify parasitoids L. investigate their potentials. Three were detected:...
The Western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, is native to North America and has already been considered a significant pest in several European countries since its first observation Italy 1999. In Spain Portugal, it was recorded for the time 2003 2010, respectively, impact on Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) of major concern. Before developing control measures this insect pest, paramount clarify spatiotemporal dynamics invasion. Therefore, study, we aimed (a) characterise genetic...
The number of invasive non-native pests is increasing rapidly in forests as a result global change. It therefore important to prevent their damage order preserve the integrity forest ecosystems and associated services. According biotic resistance hypothesis, species-rich communities are less likely be invaded. associational hypothesis states that insect herbivores more colonise exploit plants surrounded by conspecific neighbours than heterospecific, non-host plant species. More diverse would...
Abstract Geometric morphometrics is a method that offers mathematical description of biological forms based on geometric definitions their size and shape, enabling the discrimination between species. In this study, we aimed to utilize as valuable tool for identifying Sarcophagidae species, family flies are challenging distinguish morphologically. We collected total 80 wings (both left right) from male individuals representing nine species (Sarcophaga africa, Sarcophaga argyrostoma,...

Introdução: Pacientes com doença arterial coronariana (DAC) possuem a angina como principal manifestação clínica. A limita qualidade de vida e pode ser avaliada por vários métodos sendo um dos principais o cateterismo cardíaco (CATE). Objetivo: O presente estudo tem objetivo comparar os sintomas pré-intervenção, achados no CATE. Métodos: Estudo transversal 50 pacientes encaminhados ao serviço hemodinâmica para realização CATE DAC entre agosto outubro 2020. questionário Seattle (QAS) foi...
