The role of climate on the mortality, occurrence, and potential distribution of...
Santos, Abraão AlmeidaNesta tese nós apresentamos evidências sobre o papel do clima na história natural da borboleta neotropical Ascia monuste orseis Godart (Lepidoptera: Pieridae). No primeiro capítulo, nós mostramos que a ocorrência desta espécie em cultivos agrícolas é favorecida por condições quentes e úmidas, uma vez que a baixa temperatura e umidade foram prejudiciais para o desenvolvimento dos estágios imaturos da espécie (i....
Coccinellidae, Syrphidae and Aphidoletes are key mortality factors for Myzus pe...
Fidelis, Elisângela Gomes; Carmo, Daiane das Graças do; Santos, Abraão Almeida; Farias, Elizeu de Sá; Silva, Ricardo Siqueira daNatural factors regulate Myzus persicae populations in Brassicaceae crops. Ecological life table analysis is a robust tool that allows the estimation of the mortality caused by these factors. Here, we report the natural mortality of M. persicae caused by abiotic and biotic factors assessed by cohort life tables in cabbage crops. Together, these factors accounted for 94.6% mortality in M. persicae populations. T...
Sub-lethal effects of essential oil of Lippia sidoides on drywood termite Crypt...
Santos, Abraão Almeida; Oliveira, Bruna Maria Santos de; Melo, Carlisson Ramos; Lima, Ana Paula Santana; Santana, Emile Dayara RabeloThe drywood termite Cryptotermes brevis (Walker, 1853) (Kalotermitidae) is one of the most important wood structural pest in the world. Substances from the secondary metabolism of plants (e.g., essential oils) have been considered an environmentally safer form of control for urban pests, such as termites. In the present study, we analyzed the lethal and sub-lethal effects of essential oil of Lippia sidoides and...
Selection of an essential oil from Corymbia and Eucalyptus plants against Ascia...
Ribeiro, Arthur Vieira; Farias, Elizeu de Sá; Santos, Abraão Almeida; Filomeno, Claudinei Andrade; Santos, Izailda Barbosa dosDue to an increase in environmental and health issues and with the excessive use of synthetic pesticides, many studies are investigating plant essential oils (EOs) for pest control. These compounds are considered safe control agents since they have low toxicity to non-target organisms. Thus, this study aimed to select potential EOs from the Myrtaceae family and their constituents for the control of Ascia monust...
Essential oil of Aristolochia trilobata: synthesis, routes of exposure, acute t...
Oliveira, Bruna Maria Santos de; Melo, Carlisson Ramos; Alves, Péricles Barreto; Santos, Abraão Almeida; Santos, Ane Caroline CelestinoPlants of the genus Aristolochia have been frequently reported as important medicinal plants. Despite their high bioactive potential, to date, there are no reports of their effects on leaf-cutting ants. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the essential oil of Aristolochia trilobata and its major components on Atta sexdens and Acromyrmex balzani, two species of leaf-cuttin...
Óleos essenciais e seus constituintes para o controle de Cryptotermes brevis e ...
Santos, Abraão AlmeidaConselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq; Termites display a key role in the terrestrial ecological ecosystems by positively contributing to maintenance of these ecosystems. However, despite this importance, some species are known as urban, forests, and agriculture pests. At urban areas, Cryptotermes brevis (Kalotermitidae) and Nasutitermes corniger (Termitidae: Nasutiterm...
