Abstract:: Larval mortality of leafcutting bee, Megachile pacifica (Panzer) (= rotundata (F.)), is high, usually exceeding 50%. Parasites and predators are not a limiting factor in the survival of the progeny. The disease chalk brood has been an important mortality factor since 1974. Inadequate food supply, pollen and nectar, may affect...

Abstract:: The behaviors of the alfalfa leaf cutter bee - seed production system under imposition of several management regimes were studied through the use of a simulation model that contains mechanisms for the following processes: 1) immature bee development and diapause; 2) immature bee mortality; 3) female bee emergence; 4) nesting...

Abstract:: The temperature-dependent development of pupae and adults of strawberry root weevil (SRW) Otiorhynchus ovatus (L.) was studied in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. var. 'Totem'). The development of pupae and adults was investigated at constant temperatures from 3-33°C at 3°C intervals. Major emphasis was on the development of a weighted...
