Foraging and nesting behavior of the leaf-cutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius)

Creator:: Osgood, Charles Edgar
Abstract:: The study provides the details of the ethology of Megachile rotundata (Fabricius), and presents preliminary observations on its foraging and nesting behavior. Development from prepupae to adults proceeds most rapidly at 32 degrees C., and is retarded when held at lower and higher temperatures. Male behavior is distinct from that...

Studies on Heterostylum robustum (Osten Sacken) (Diptera : Bombyliidae), a parasite of Nomia melanderi

Creator:: Eppley, Richard Keith
Abstract:: Heterostylum robustum (Osten Sacken) is the principal parasite of the alkali bee, Nomia melanderi Ckll., one of the most efficient pollinators of alfalfa in the western United States. The purpose of the study was to determine the incidence of parasitism and to investigate the biology of H. robustum. The fly...

Phospholipids of Tenebrio molitor larvae

Creator:: Kamienski, Francis Xavier
Abstract:: Phospholipids of Tenebrio molitor larvae were separated on columns of DEAE-cellulose and silicic acid-Hyflo Super Cel. The major phosphatide components were identified by various analytical procedures. Phosphatidyl choline was demonstrated to be the predominant phospholipid with a high percentage of phosphatidyl ethanolamine. A small amount of inositol-containing phosphatides were present....

A comparative study of the isozymic proteins and the effect of metachemogenesis in the tissues of Periplaneta americana (L.)

Creator:: Beckendorf, Gerald Walter
Abstract:: An attempt was made to demonstrate isozymic forms of esterase, MDH, LDH and GPDH and the variation in enzyme pattern with increasing age in the thoracic muscle, appendage muscle and hemolymph of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. Sampled specimens of both sexes were aged one through seven days, two weeks...

The effect of sublethal doses of dieldrin, parathion, and sevin on the calling song of Acheta domesticus L. (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

Creator:: Young, Conny Lee
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were: a) to obtain and evaluate equipment for bio-acoustical analysis for this work and for future work in the analysis of insect sounds, b) to study the acoustical and sexual behavior of Acheta domesticus L., and c) to determine methods for analyzing the changes effected...

Comparative embryology of Nomia melanderi, Megachile rotundata, and Bombus griseocollis (Hymenoptera:Apoidea)

Creator:: Hartman, Margaret Jane
Abstract:: Organogenesis was observed in different age embryos and first instar larvae of Nomia melanderi Cockerell (Halictidae), Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) (Megachilidae), and Bombus griseocollis (DeGeer) (Apidae) (Hymenoptera : Apoidea). It was found that, with the exception of the ventral nerve cord, comparable organ development had occurred by the beginning of the...

Circadian rhythms in Megachile rotundata (Fabricius) and Nomia melanderi Cockerell

Creator:: Tweedy, David Graham
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to determine an emergence rhythm, its period, and the developmental stages susceptible to emergence synchronization in the leafcutter bee Megachile rotundata (Fabricius). An attempt was made to determine if an oxygen consumption rhythm was present in the pupal and adult stages of the alkali...

The biology and behavior of the alkali bee Nomia melanderi Cockerell (Hymnoptera: Apoidea)

Creator:: Hackwell, Glenn Alfred
Abstract:: Nomia melanderi Cockerell is one of the most efficient pollinators of alfalfa in Eastern Oregon. Emergence begins in June, usually reaches its peak in early July, and may continue into early August. Male emergence precedes female emergence by four or five days. For the first few weeks of this time,...
