A study of ticks (Acarina: Ixodidae) and chiggers (Trombiculidae) from two areas in western Oregon

Creator:: Easton, Emmett Richard
Abstract:: A study of the host range and distribution of ticks and chiggers (Acari) was undertaken in two contrasting forested areas of western Oregon. Acarines were sampled from host mammals which were trapped along line transects laid out in both areas, each consisting of 18 stations 50 feet apart. Hosts were...

The role of acoustical signals in the communicative behavior of the water scavenger beetles, Tropisternus (Coleoptera:hydrophilidae)

Creator:: Ryker, Lee Chester
Abstract:: The communicative behavior of five species and subspecies of Tropisternus Solier (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) was studied. These aquatic beetles have stress and calling chirps (both sexes), a second male calling signal (one species), a single male courtship sound (usually), a male copulatory sound, and a female aggressive rejection buzz (three species)....

Gamma irradiation of the western cherry fruit fly for the sterile male control technique

Creator:: Brown, Robert David
Abstract:: The western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, was studied to determine the suitability of the sterile insect technique for its control. To obtain insect material, field collection of maggots is preferred to sifting of soil or rearing on artificial diet. The western cherry fruit fly is strictly univoltine; only...

Survival and development of the flat-headed fir borer in forest residues as affected by host and microclimatic conditions

Creator:: Scott, Donald Wayne
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to examine various host and microclimatic influences affecting the survival and development of the flatheaded fir borer, Melanophila drummondi (Kirby) in Douglas fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco residues. It also expands current knowledge of the biology, bionomics, life history, ecology, and biotic potential for...

Prothoracicotropic hormone, cyclic nucleotides, and proctolin in insect central nervous system

Creator:: Kingan, Timothy Gilmore
Abstract:: Prothoracicotropic hormone has been partially purified from whole heads of tobacco hornworm larvae, Manduca sexta. Activity was followed with a larval bioassay. Activity was purified 4400 fold from crude extracts. The hormone was found to be a heat-stable polypeptide with an approximate molecular weight of 25,000 Daltons. The hormone has...

Spatial patterns of predaceous and phytophagous apple mites (Acari : Eriophyidae, phytoseiidae, Stigmaeidae, Tetranychidae) : intra- and interspecific relationships

Creator:: Slone, Daniel H.
Abstract:: Aggregation and species association of 9 species of phytophagous and predaceous mites were studied for 6 yr in an orchard with 100, 2 m tall 'Red Delicious' apple trees. To quantify aggregation, a method was developed that is powerful, and easily interpreted. It relates the proportion of habitat occupied to...
