Nitidulid Beetles in Sugarcane Cuttings
When cane cuttings that have failed to germinate are dug up and examined, they are frequently found to be infested with the larvae and adults of Nitidulid beetles which, consequently, are often accused of responsibility for such failure. As additional evidence against them is adduced the rapidity with which replants may become infested in fields in which a high population of the beetles has bee...
متن کاملPollination of Anthurium (Araceae) by derelomine flower weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
Cyclanthura flower weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Derelomini) are identified for the first time as pollinators of multiple species of Anthurium (Araceae) in Costa Rica. The weevils are present on the inflorescences in small numbers during the pistillate and staminate phase of anthesis, and consume plant tissues and pollen. The individuals of one species of Cyclanthura can visit several Ant...
متن کاملPotential carbon gain of shingle leaves in juveniles of the vine Monstera tenuis (Araceae) in Costa Rica.
The amount of light intercepted by vertically oriented, shingle leaves of juvenile Monstera tenuis vines growing in forest understory was compared to the amount of light the leaves would intercept if they were horizontal. Light levels were monitored using quantum sensors and hemispherical photography. Shingle leaves absorb less light than they would if the leaves were horizontal at the same pos...
متن کاملPollination ecology of four epiphytic orchids of New Zealand.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In New Zealand epiphytic orchids are represented by four genera and eight species. The genera Earina (three species) and Winika (one species) are the most conspicuous and widespread. These are likely to be some of the southernmost distributed genera of epiphytic orchids in the world. METHODS To identify the pollination strategies that have evolved in these orchids, hand-po...
متن کاملOccurrence of Nitidulid Beetles (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) in Texas Oak Wilt Centers
J. Econ. Entomo!. 79: 1276-1279 (1986) ABSTRACT In 1984-85 free-flying nitidulids were trapped in centers of oak wilt, Ceratocystis fagacearum (Bretz) Hunt, for 1 year at six locations in central Texas. Two of the 10 species identified, Cryptarcha concinna Melsheimer and Coiopterus maculatus (Erichson), accounted for 57 and 35%, respectively, of the total number (3,397) of beetles trapped. Peak...
