Notes on the Life History and Mating Behavior of Ellychnia Corrusca (coloeptera: Lampyridae)

چکیده
Pigeonpea, Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (Leguminosae), was found hosting Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Paraná State, Brazil. In the laboratory, nymphs performed better on immature pods of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill (Leguminosae), than on immature pods of pigeonpea. Although nymphs required similar time to complete development, and attained similar weights at adult emergence, mortality was much lower on soybean (57.7%) than on pigeonpea (94.4%). Adult P. guildinii also performed better on soybean than on pigeonpea. Females and males showed similar longevity on both foods, but 34.5% of females oviposited on soybean compared to 10.3% on pigeonpea, with an oviposition delay of 26 days on pigeon-

Complete Genome Sequence of Spiroplasma corruscae EC-1T (DSM 19793), a Bacterium Isolated from a Lampyrid Beetle (Ellychnia corrusca)
Spiroplasma corruscae EC-1T (DSM 19793) was isolated from the gut of a lampryid beetle (Ellychnia corrusca) collected in Beltsville, MD, USA, in 1983. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium to facilitate the investigation of its biology and the comparative genomics among Spiroplasma species.
متن کاملThe roles of life-history selection and sexual selection in the adaptive evolution of mating behavior in a beetle.
Although there is continuing debate about whether sexual selection promotes or impedes adaptation to novel environments, the role of mating behavior in such adaptation remains largely unexplored. We investigated the evolution of mating behavior (latency to mating, mating probability and duration) in replicate populations of seed beetles Callosobruchus maculatus subjected to selection on life-hi...

The life history, behavior and morphology of the immature stages of Enochrus quadripunctatus Herbst from Iran are studied. The results of the work on the life history and behavior of this species in the immature stages and as newly-emerged adults have been presented as part I. The morphology of the egg cases, larvae, pupae, and the male genitalia of the adult is covered in the present work....
متن کاملBehavior pattern as the indicator of reproductive success of Alpine musk deer
To establish the behavioral indicator of reproductive success of female captive Alpine musk deer(Moschus sifanicus), the focal sampling was used to record the individual behaviors at Xinglongshan MuskDeer Farm (XMDF), Gansu province, China. Conducted between June 2008 and January 2009, 31 adultfemales were observed, of which 26 had successfully bred in the previous year, and five of which wereb...
متن کاملLIFE HISTORY, BEHAVIOR AND MORPHOLOGY OF THE IMMATURE STAGES OF ENOCHRUS QUADRIPUNCTATUS HERBST IN THE LABORATORY (COLEOPTERA: HYDROPHILIDAE) I- LIFE HISTORY AND BEHAVIOR
The life history of Enochrus quadripunctatus Herbst was studied in the laboratory. The duration of each developmental stage, larval behavior, and preimaginal mortality rate were determined. It takes the insect a total of 43 days from hatching to reach the adult stage, with a high mortality rate in the first stadium. The mortality rate decreases as the beetle passes through the immature sta...
