Pollination and pollinators of pumpkin and squash (Cucurbita maxima Duchesne) grown for seed production in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon

Creator:: Gavilánez-Slone, Jenny M.
Abstract:: 'Golden Delicious' winter squash (GDWS), Cucurbita maxima Duchesne, provides significant amounts of pollen (24 mg) and nectar (236 μl), but with a low reward of 14% nectar sugar. The quantity of nectar produced per GDWS flower differed between sites and floral sex. The GDWS male flowers had 25% higher sugar...

Allogrooming behavior of European honey bees Apis melliferal L.

Creator:: Kuswadi, Achmad Nasroh
Abstract:: Workers in colonies of European honey bees Apis mellifera L. clean their nestmate's body by allogrooming behavior. This behavior may be initiated by either grooming dancers or by the allogroomers themselves. The first occurs less frequently (ca. 17 %) than the later (83 %). By using the inner edge of...

Biology of the two external Acarapis species of honey bees : Acarapis dorsalis Morgenthaler and Acarapis externus Morgenthaler (Acari: Tarsonemidae)

Creator:: Ibay, Lilia Armendez
Abstract:: The biology of the two external Acarapis mites of honey bees, Acarapis dorsalis Morgenthaler and Acarapis externus Morgenthaler was studied. It was observed that both Acarapis species have similar developmental period (8-9 days) with males emerging earlier than females. Mite load and infestation rate of A. dorsalis decreased as bees...

Effects of wood species and prior fungal exposure on the feeding habits of the dampwood termite Zootermopsis angusticollis

Creator:: Mankowski, Mark Edward
Abstract:: The effects of natural preconditioning (source wood), wood species, and previous exposure of wood to two types of fungi on the feeding rates and protozoa survival in the Pacific dampwood termite Zootermopsis angusticollis (Isoptera: Termospidae) were examined under laboratory conditions. Termites were exposed to four wood species that had been...

Biology and systematics of bee mites of the family Varroidae (Acari: Mesostigmata)

Creator:: Akratanakul, Pongthep
Abstract:: The bee mites Varroa jacobsoni Oudemaris and Euvarroa sinhai Delfinado and Baker (Family Varroidae) are reported for the first time from Thailand. V. jacobsoni was found parasitizing colonies of Apis cerana indica F. and A. mellifera L., E. sinhai was observed in association with drones of A. florea F. The...

Consequences of coumaphos and Varroa destructor on drone honey bee sperm quantity

Creator:: Delaney, Deborah Anne
Abstract:: The number of drones and genetic diversity among drones are essential components to a well mated queen. Varroa destructor preferentially parasitizes drone brood, and is thought to be responsible for the loss of feral populations that once provided additional drones for honey bee mating areas. It is necessary to use...

The preparation and human taste detection of low degree of polymerization glucose oligomers

Creator:: Pullicin, Alexa J.
Abstract:: There is growing evidence that humans and other animals can taste certain starch hydrolysis products, namely, maltooligosaccharides (MOS), and that their detection is independent of the known sweet receptor, T1R2 T1R3. The overall goal of this study was to further investigate the taste perception of low degree-of-polymerization (DP) MOS in...

Effects of tillage on emergence of mint root borer, Fumibotys fumalis Guenée, and on other agronomic factors in peppermint, Mentha piperita L.

Creator:: Talkington, Michael Lee
Abstract:: Studies were conducted in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon to evaluate the effects of plowing (7.5-15 cm deep) and disking (5-10 cm deep) in peppermint, Mentha piperita L., on the following factors: 1) emergence of adult "mint root borer", Fumibotys fumalis Guenée; 2) suppression of common groundsel, Senecio vulgaris...

The effect of photoperiod and temperature on ovarian development and fat production in Culex peus Speiser (Diptera:Culicidae)

Creator:: Skultab, Seeviga
Abstract:: The effect of photoperiod and temperature on ovarian follicle development and fat production was studied in a colonized population of CuZex peus Speiser from Philomath, Oregon. Females were subjected to simulated fall conditions of photoperiod and temperature. Under a combination of short photoperiod and low temperature, there were various effects...
