spodoptera exigua (hübner) was studied in laboratory (25±1ºc, 60±5% rh, and 16:8 l:d h) exploring the antibiotic effects of 10 canola cultivars (sarigol, slm046, hayula420, rgs003, opera, okapi, licord, modena, zarfam and talaye) on its demographic parameters. the age-stage, two-sex and the traditional female age-specific life tables were constructed by using the demographic data. the larval pe...

increased nitrogen applications to crops influence plant-herbivore interactions and potentially increase herbivore population growth.in this research, the impact of nitrogen fertilizations on nutritional quality of three canola (brassica napus l.) cultivars (zarfam, okapi and modena), and, consequently, the performance of mustard aphids, lipaphis erysimi kalt., on them were investigated under g...

Latonopsis australis is a rare Cladocera inhabiting the entire stretch of the Cochin backwaters, the largest monsoonal estuary along the West Coast of India, during the summer monsoon, but restricted to the upper reaches during the non-monsoon periods. Here, we present the results of an experimental study, which assessed the influence of salinity on the life table demography of the species at d...

Résumé. Dans le contexte de la fouille de données multi-tables, les données sont représentées sous un format relationnel dans lequel les individus de la table cible sont potentiellement liés à plusieurs enregistrements dans des tables secondaires en relation un-à-plusieurs. Dans cet article, nous proposons un Framework basé sur des itemsets pour la construction de variables à partir des tables ...

This article provides a description of the population model PopMod, which is designed to simulate the health and mortality experience of an arbitrary population subjected to two interacting disease conditions as well as all other “background” causes of death and disability. Among population models with a longitudinal dimension, PopMod is unique in modelling two interacting disease conditions; a...

Résumé Dans cet article, nous dressons un bilan du travail effectué sur les ressources du grec moderne concernant le Lexique-Grammaire des verbes. Nous détaillons les propriétés définitoires de chaque table, ainsi que l'ensemble des changements effectués sur les intitulés de propriétés afin de les rendre cohérents. Grâce à l'élaboration de la table des classes, regroupant l'ensemble des proprié...

Life table statistics and degree-day requirements for Gonatocerus ashmeadi Girault, a parasitoid of the glassy-winged sharpshooter Homalodisca coagulata (Say), were used to estimate the number of expected parasitoid generations in California (USA). Between two to 51 and one to 37 generations per year were estimated across different climatic regions in California, using life table and degreeday ...

development, reproduction and life table parameters of tetranychus urticae koch were determined on leaves of peach (g. h. hale cultivar) at different temperatures, ranging from 13 to 33°c under laboratory conditions. no development was observed at 13°c. egg-to-adult developmental time decreased gradually from 17 to 27°c and increased at higher temperatures (27 to 33°c). an average of 136.43 deg...

the beet armyworm (spodoptera exigua hübner) is an important pest of many agricultural crops all over the world. most of the sugar beet growing regions in iran are infested. in this study, the acute lethal effects of pyriproxyfen, spinosad, and indoxacarb as well as sublethal effects of pyriproxyfen on the 1st instar s. exigua were assessed by leaf dip bioassay method. mortality was recorded 48...
