Aquatic Insects: Hemimetabolous Insects – Plecoptera

Biological observations on Tupiperla (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).

Tupiperla illiesi fly along the year in the coastal mountains of southeastern Brazil, with larger numbers during the warmer rainy season. In the seasonal tropical climate of Central Brazil and Serra do Cipó, MG, T oliveirai and T. gracilis, respectively, fly along the year but the pattern is still not known. In the higher elevation (ca. 1600 m a.s.l.) of Campos do Jordao, SP, species of Tupiper...

Floristic Interchanges Between Formosa and the Philippines

THE FLORAS of Formosa and the Philippines are, in spite of the ir geographic proximity , distinctive in their general nature. The tw<? regions wereseparated by the Formosan rift (the Bashi Channel), probably in the early Tertiary, long' before their connections with other respective neighboring areas were severed. Thus the bulk of the Formosan flora was derived from China or from other floras t...

Ovicide in the whitefly parasitoid, Encarsia formosa.

The oviposition decisions made by insect parasitoids when encountering hosts of variable quality have been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental investigation. For parasitoids that lay their eggs inside the host, the possible outcomes of encounters with parasitized hosts have been assumed to include only oviposition (superparasitism), rejection, or in some cases feeding on host ...
