Thaumetopoea pityocampa is the most important pine defoliator in the Mediterranean 24 basin. Despite being attacked by a number of natural enemies, populations occur 25 frequently at high density in several areas. 26 2 Egg parasitism was studied in 27 pine and cedar forests in Algeria, in relation to the host 27 density (tents per tree) and the proportion of forest cover in the landscape. 28 3 Egg parasitism va...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-01-01; Human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) is a classical HLA class I molecule that binds and presents peptides to cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the cell surface. HLA-C has a dual function because it also interacts with Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) receptors expressed in natural killer and T cell...
The bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus, an Australian native insect, has become a nearly worldwide invasive pest in the last 16 years and has been causing significant damage to eucalypts (Myrtaceae), including Eucalyptus spp. and Corymbia spp. Its rapid expansion leads to new questions about pathways and routes that T. peregrinus used to invade other continents and countries. We used mtDNA to characterize sp...
The purpose of this article is to analyze the motivations and professional expectations of the students in the Postgraduate Course in German Language and Literature of a Brazilian public university in the State of São Paulo.

Coenosia attenuata Stein, ou mosca tigre, predador polífago de importantes pragas agrícolas, enquanto larva e adulto, foi detectado em Portugal, pela primeira vez, em 2002, no Oeste. Para optimização da sua criação em massa, alteraram-se metodologias descritas na bibliografia. Ocorreu maior número de emergências em substratos com maior número de larvas de esciarídeos e em substrato de terra misturado com fibr...
