Urbanus velinus (Plötz, 1880) is a hesperid that causes total defoliation of Clitoria fairchildiana. Some aspects involving their reproduction are still unknown to science, including protocols for captive reproduction. In order to obtain information about their sexual behavior and reproductive ecology, a butterfly house was built where daily assessments were carried out for nine generations kept in captivity. I...

Scolytinae is a beetle group belonging to Order Coleoptera; these insects play an essential role in wood degradation in forest ecosystems, since they build galleries that enable substrate colonization by other saprophytic organisms, as well as nutrient cycling. Thus, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the occurrence of Scolytinae in the wood of 5 tree species exposed to mangrove environment, as well a...
O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos do pólen do milho transgênico, que expressa a proteína entomopatogênica Cry1Ab, sobre aspectos biológicos da traça da cera (Galleria mellonella) e com isso propor uma discussão sobre as possibilidades de afecção desse piralídeo à campo, debatendo possíveis efeitos ecológicos. Um ensaio biológico foi realizado, onde se ofertou às larvas pólen do milho tran...
Effect of the fertilization on the population of Corythaica cyathicollis in eggplants in function of the collection period. Corythaica cyathicollis (Costa, 1864) is one of the main pests on Solanum melongena and it is known to cause serious damage to the culture. To determine the effect of N and K fertilization on eggplants, a study on the occurrence of C. cyathicollis was developed. Experimental treatments con...
Infl uence, in organic cultivation of eggplant, of the doses of nitrogen and soil green cover on the incidence of Corythaica cyathicollis in different periods of the day. Solanum melongena L., eggplant, is a culture that suffers many problems through pests, being a host of diverse species of bacteria, fungi, mites and insects. The “chinch bug”, Corythaica cyathicollis (Costa, 1864) (Hemiptera, Tingidae) is know...
