Estimating dispersal rate of the silky cane weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)*

“…High numbers of individuals were concentrated around the release point and slowly moved towards the boundaries of the experimental plot. Analogous patterns of dispersal have been observed with other beetles where cumulative trap catch remained highest near the release point with an outward spread over time ( Banks et al., 1988; Rieske and Raffa , 1990; Arbogast et al., 2000; Smith et al., 2001; Arbogast et al., 2003).…”

“…High numbers of individuals were concentrated around the release point and slowly moved towards the boundaries of the experimental plot.

The Dempster's model used in this study was based on the assumptions that (1) all weevils, on average, forage in the same way; and that (2) the weevils do not interact and move independently from each other (Okubo, 1980).…”

Field and tree distribution of Capnodis tenebrionis (Linnaeus, 1767) (Col., Buprestidae) adults in an apricot orchard in Italy

“…The adults are endowed with a good sight and a notable mimetic ability, and unlike other beetles (Strother and Steelman, 2001, Nansen et al . 2001, Arbogast et al. 2003,Trematerra et al .…”

“…The sampling of this species has been difficult because of the complexity to intercept the adults on the plant. The adults are endowed with a good sight and a notable mimetic ability, and unlike other beetles (Strother and Steelman, 2001, Nansen et al 2001, Arbogast et al 2003, Trematerra et al 2004, Park and Tollefson, 2006 traps are not available for the capture of this beetle. Moreover, the estimate of infestation in the field is not always quantifiable with the extent of damage which is influenced by the variety, the vigour of the plant, etc.…”

Responses of stored‐product Anobiidae to pheromone lures and plant‐derived volatiles

“…The sex pheromone of S. paniceum, stegobinone [2,3-dihydro-2,3,5-trimethyl-6-(1-methyl-2-oxobutyl)-4Hpyran-4-one] (Kuwahara et al 1975) and the sex pheromones of L. serricorne, anhydroserricornin (2,6-diethyl-3,5-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran) and serricornin (4,6-dimethyl-7-hydroxynonan-3one) (Burkholder 1970) are produced by adult females and responded to by adult males. Synthetic L. serricorne pheromone lures are widely used for detecting hidden infestations in dry food-processing facilities, warehouses, retail and grocery stores, and other dry storages (Faustini 1985;Mueller et al 1990;Phillips et al 2000;Campbell et al 2002;Papadopolou and Buchelos 2002;Arbogast et al 2003;Nansen et al 2004). Unlike synthetic L. serricorne pheromone lures, commercial fabrications of S. paniceum are less available because of challenges posed by the lack of an effective or high-quality procedure for synthesizing stegobinone.…”
