Creator:: Pimentel, Gliceria Estandian, 1958-
Abstract:: This study investigated some functional and biochemical characteristics of a bacteriolytic protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aecupti. A method for the isolation of this protein from other mosquito salivary gland components is also described. Based on some of its biochemical properties, this bacteriolytic protein can be classified...

Abstract:: The probing behavior and feeding activity of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, on Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. tenebrionis- transgenic potatoes, insecticide treated potatoes, and host plants with different preference were electronically monitored. I found that first, transgenic potatoes had no effect on green peach aphid probing suggesting that transmission of...

Creator:: Doğan, Elif Barc̦in
Abstract:: Mosquito-borne pathogens are the cause of important, often deadly diseases worldwide; and, use of repellents is one of the components of mosquito control programs. The most effective mosquito repellent is N,N-dimethyl-m-toluamide, known as DEET. Speculation on the adverse effects of DEET have been on the rise since the 1980s, and...

Creator:: Townzen, Jill S.
Abstract:: This research examines two of parameters of vectorial capacity for mosquitoes associated with catch basins in Corvallis, Oregon. The parameters of interest were determining 1) abundance of the mosquito species associated with the catch basins and 2) feeding patterns of local mosquito species. Three species of mosquitoes were collected from...

Creator:: Hosack, Geoffrey R.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, new theory and its applications are developed to predict three properties of complex ecological communities: stability, equilibrium response, and non-equilibrium dynamics. First, a graph-theoretic analysis identifies the interconnections in a complex ecosystem that promote or diminish stability (Chapter 2). The hierarchy of interactions that influences stability and...
