The Trialeurodes vaporariorum first instars (crawlers) are mobile and able to choose the optimal spots on leaf for 
 constant feeding favorable pest development. Spatial distribution of larvae adults cucumber Ginga F1 cotyledon leaves, as well morpho-anatomical structure cotyledons cross sections have been studied in laboratory. Some differences topology sites between were revealed. Female...

No study of a single nickel (Ni) hyperaccumulator species has investigated the impact of hyperaccumulation on herbivores representing a variety of feeding modes. Streptanthus polygaloides plants were grown on high- or low-Ni soils and a series of no-choice and choice feeding experiments was conducted using eight arthropod herbivores. Herbivores used were two leaf-chewing folivores (the grasshop...

Eretmocerus warrae (Naumann and Schimdt) is a thelytokous aphelinid parasitoid of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood). It was first detected in New Zealand in 1997 during a survey of greenhouses in Auckland. We investigated the effects of certain duration of food and host deprivation after emergence on feeding, oviposition behavior and egg resorption of E. warrae with ...

Mathematical simulation model is very suitable to understand insect dynamical systems. This system is nonlinear and it is hard to deal with by pure mathematical models only. It offers a possibility to recognize possible gaps in our knowledge. A simulation model of immature stages development of greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (westwood) population is presented. The parameters, var...
