Species of Oncideres Serville, often referred to as twig girdlers, girdle tree branches prior oviposition promote larval development. The behavior creates a unique niche that is utilized by other beetle species. objective this study was compare emergence insects from girdled saga Dalman in an intercropping system and monoculture Acacia mangium Willd. the Atlantic Rainforest Minas Gerais, Brazil. Twenty-four Coleoptera species emerged branches: 17 Cerambycidae; three Cleridae; one individual...
Twig girdlers are beetles that girdle branches and trunks of living trees so they can deposit their eggs in incisions made by mandibles. There few studies about the biology ecology girdler Oncideres ocularis Thomson, which is considered a potential pest forest plantations cause injuries to tree species family Fabaceae. The objective this study was increase knowledge related biological phases ecological patterns girdling oviposition O. ocularis. Field were conducted at four Acacia mangium...
The objective of this study was to analyze whether the morphology girdled twigs has an effect on number incisions and reproductive success Oncideres ocularis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Eight parameters branches were evaluated. Surface area showed highest coefficient determination for eggs laid per branch hatched larvae. area, volume length correlated significantly with larvae, as been reported similar insects.
The seed beetle genus Ctenocolum Kingsolver & Whitehead is peculiar because its preferred host Lonchocharpus Kunth (Fabaceae) not preyed upon by other bruchine species. This study investigates the phylogenetic relationships and evolution of this species groups, while providing description three new male C. biolleyi Whitehead. To infer relationships, a character matrix 40 morphological characters was assembled analysed using both parsimony Bayesian inference. Ancestral state estimations...
Twig girdlers have a short adult life and long larval stage (up to one year in some species). This fact, together with lack of morphological traits identify the species from stage, poses obstacles for taxonomic identification characterization many twig found wild. To solve this matter, Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) molecular markers been applied insect determine boundaries. The aim study was three Oncideres using RAPD technique. Adults larvae O. saga, ocularis ulcerosa were...
The seed beetle Gibbobruchus tridentatus Manfio, Jorge & Ribeiro-Costa sp. nov. is described from the Amazon basin in Brazil (Acre) and Ecuador (Napo), included an updated key to species of Pic. This new recently G. bergamini Manfio are incorporated into a phylogenetic reanalysis genus comparative analysis host plant use biogeography. Species groups previously proposed were supported evolutionary history plant-use shows conserved at tribe level, Cercideae (Caesalpinioideae), with...
The ability to distinguish gender among insects is essential their study and management. objective of this work was find sexual dimorphism between males females Oncideres ocularis Thomson, 1868 based on external morphology. Twenty-seven morphometric variables from the body beetle were measured. length body, elytra, width head, antennae found have different dimensions genders. in can be two times longer than while it one a half longer. last antennal segment almost seven pedicel, difference...
Nomenclatural changes in Caryedes Hummel (Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) are proposed within the context of a full taxonomic revision and phylogenetic study. Three new synonymies proposed: Bruchus godmaniSharp, 1885 = cristatus (Fåhaeus, 1839); gounelleiPic, 1923 juno (Sharp, 1885); diversipesPic, 1927=Caryedes longifrons 1885). Two confirmed: Pseudopachymerus multinotatus paulonotatusPic, 1930 clitoriae (Gyllenhal, velutinotatusPic, 1936 1839). Lectotypes for six species designated: Fåhraeus,...
