GREEN APHIS AND NATURAL ENEMY STUDY, 2001

Multivariate approach to quantitative analysis of Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and their natural enemy populations at different cotton spacings

The relationship between pests and natural enemies using multivariate analysis on cotton in different spacing has not been documented yet. Using multivariate approaches is possible to optimize strategies to control Aphis gossypii at different crop spacings because the possibility of a better use of the aphid sampling strategies as well as the conservation and release of its natural enemies. The...

Parasites as predators: unifying natural enemy ecology.

Parasitism and predation have long been considered analogous interactions. Yet by and large, ecologists continue to study parasite-host and predator-prey ecology separately. Here we discuss strengths and shortcomings of the parasite-as-predator analogy and its potential to provide new insights into both fields. Developments in predator-prey ecology, such as temporal risk allocation and associat...

Biological Control of the European Green Crab, Carcinus Maenas: Natural Enemy Evaluation and Analysis of Host Specificity

Many introduced marine organisms are ecological and economic pests. Nevertheless, no management approach is available to mitigate their impacts. Now, a theoretical perspective borrows principles from classical biological control, as widely applied to terrestrial and fresh water systems, to control the abundance of introduced marine pests. A banner example of a marine pest is the European green ...

An Enemy of the People—Tuberculosis and Natural Selection

as the chief factors to be considered, we are promised that a Comprehensive, co-ordinated scheme, comprising notification, anti-tuberculosis dispensary, the sanatorium for early cases, the school for tuberculous children, the farm colony for working Patients, and the hospital for advanced cases, will, if systematically taken in hand, completely eradicate the disease ^thin a relatively short per...
