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...

Foraging ecology of pollinators in the early stages of secondary succession in the western hemlock (Tsuga heteropohylla (Raf.) Sarg.) zone of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Burikam, Intawat
Abstract:: The early stages of secondary succession of the McDonald and Paul Dunn State Forests, Corvallis, Oregon, were grouped into three stages; herb, herb-shrub, and shrub, based on vegetation types. Flowers of herbaceous species and residual shrubs dominated in the early years after clear-cutting. Woody plants became increasing abundant in the...

Aspects of the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans

Creator:: Principal de D'Aubeterre, Judith
Abstract:: Aspects concerning the bionomics of the parasitic honey bee brood mite, Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans were investigated. Mite mortality is great during the winter season when the host colony is not rearing brood, appearing to be independent of the mortality of its host. In winter period, no significant association between the...

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...

Scent-making by nectar collecting honey bees

Creator:: Wetherwax, Peter B.
Abstract:: Honey bees mark artificial flowers with scents that advertise about the previous history of the flower to subsequent foragers. Unrewarding flowers are marked with a scent, after a single visit, that makes the flower less attractive to subsequent foragers. Previously rewarding flowers are initially less attractive than unvisited flowers but...

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...
