Abstract. The biomisation method is used to reconstruct Latin American vegetation at 6000±500 and 18 000±1000 radiocarbon years before present (14C yr BP) from pollen data. Tests using modern data 381 samples derived 287 locations broadly reproduce potential natural vegetation. strong temperature gradient associated with the Andes recorded by a transition high altitude cool grass/shrubland mixed forest mid-altitude temperate rain forest, tropical dry, seasonal low altitudes. Reconstructed...

These can be distinguished by body color, presence or absence of spots on the pronotum elytra, male female genitalia. A...
Coccinellidae (Coleoptera), commonly known as ladybirds or ladybugs, are a highly diversified family comprising nearly 6000 described species (Vandenberg 2002) distributed in 2 subfamilies and 24 tribes (Seago et al. 2011). The genus Nephus Mulsant, 1846, present worldwide, is currently placed the vast Coccidulini tribe There different classifications for Nephus: Gordon (1976, 1985) considered five subgenera (Depressoscymnus Gordon, Scymnobius Casey, Sidis Turboscymnus Gordon), while Fürsch...
Este trabalho visou levantar a fauna de Coleoptera associada à carcaça Sus scrofa L.,1758, espécie utilizada como modelo em Entomologia Forense. O acréscimo ou substituição seqüencial das espécies insetos pode ser utilizado para estimar o intervalo post mortem (IPM). experimento foi realizado no Centro Politécnico (UFPR), setembro 2005 2006. A cada estação sacrificado um suíno 15 kg local, colocado gaiola. captura dos realizada diariamente bandeja posicionada abaixo da e armadilha tipo...
Susceptibility of Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) to cypermethrin, dichlorvos and triflumuron in southern Brazil. The lesser mealworm, (Panzer), is an important insect pest poultry houses the mealworm collected from eight Paraná state, Brazil, was evaluated for triflumuron. Adult A. were tested bioassays with cypermethrin dichlorvos. Larvae fed rabbit feed wetted a triflumuron-water solution. Concentration-mortality regressions estimated using Probit analysis...
First record of Harm onia axyridis (Palias) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) : a lady bcetle nativc to the Palaearctic rcgion.Specimens Harmonia (Pal ias, 1773) an asiatic species were caugth in Capão do Tigre, Curitiba, Paraná, South Brazil, for fim time, feedi ng on Tillocallis Iwlill\valllokani (Kirkaldy) (Hemiptera, Aphididae) Lagerstroemia indica Linnaeus (Lythraceae).
Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) is a polyphagous Asian species, well-known as classical biological control agent of aphids around the world, introduced probably accidentally in Brazil, sampled for first time 2002. It an important intraguild predator, competing food with native coccinellids. was studied H. alimentary sources and host plants, its abundance compared established influence abiotic factors seasons over throughout one year, discussed mechanisms which...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar o isolamento de bactérias da família Enterobacteriaceae em adultos A. diaperinus, buscando uma correlação entre as presentes no inseto e na cama, aviários para produção frangos corte oeste do Paraná, Brasil. No primeiro experimento, insetos foram coletados 14 granjas. segundo material cama 12 diferentes aviários.

The impacts of temperature on Harmonia axyridis and its potential as a control agent Cinara atlantica, the Carolina conifer aphid, were evaluated. experiments conducted with eggs from field-collected adults. Each egg batch was kept at 15 °C, 20 °C 25 ° C, 70% RH 12:12 h. L:D. After hatching, larvae reared individually until adult emergence all insects under same conditions. mean period incubation, total developmental time viability longer that than other 2 temperatures. Survival 100% for...
The biology, reproductive variables and population growth indicators of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) fed on three diets, namely Cinara atlantica (Wilson, 1919) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758) frozen eggs Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), were evaluated. With all birth rate was higher than mortality, resulting in positive rm values thus indicating growth. Under the conditions used experiments, H. able to...
The Coleoptera fauna of forensic importance associated with Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758 carcass decomposition in Ducke Reserve, Manaus, Brazil, was determined. A total 41 species, belonging to six families and 11 subfamilies were collected. Staphylinidae presented the higher richness 17 species sampled, followed by Histeridae, Scarabaeidae nine species. Euspilotus azureus (Sahlberg, 1823) (Histeridae), Aleochara sp. (Staphylinidae) Oxelytrum cayennense (Stürm, 1826) (Silphidae) occurred all...
A list of the Coleoptera importance from Brazil, based on published records was compiled.The checklist contains 345 species 16 families allocated to states country.In addition, three two are registered for first time.The fauna forensic is still not entirely known and future collection efforts taxonomic reviews could increase number considerably in near future.
Abstract Southern Brazil is unique due to its subtropical climate. Here, we report on the first forensic entomology case and record of Sarconesia chlorogaster (Wiedemann) in a human corpse this region. Flies' samples were collected from body indoors at 20°C. Four species found, but only Chrysomya albiceps S. used estimate minimum postmortem interval ( mPMI ). The was calculated using accumulated degree hour (ADH) developmental time. puparium light color, so an experiment establish more...
Burial has a unique effect on carrion fauna and this may affect the decomposition rate, consequently interfering with postmortem estimates. We surveyed Coleoptera buried rabbit carcasses between April 2008 March 2009. The insects of forensic importance totaled 1,502 individuals, constituting 87.12% collected. composition beetle community varied seasonally. Exposed lost weight much faster than ones. by exposed cadavers in week was greater those for 10 wk. temperature variations soil were...
