Survey and Population Studies on Coleopterous Fauna of Northern Sinai and Beni–suif Governorates Using Light Traps

Abstract

A survey together with studies on population densities and relative abundance of coleopterous species were conducted by the use of light traps at Al-Arish city, North Sinai and Sids Agricultural Research Station, Beba City, Beni Suif during 2005. At Beni-Suif the survey revealed the presence of 45 coleopterous species belonging to 31 genera of 9 families:

Ecology, Behavior, and Biocontrol Studies on the Scarab Beetle, Maladera castanea (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Infesting Strawberry Plants in Egypt

“…Light traps (Robinson type) as a glass jar with a fatal agent placed in the bottom of each trap were effectively used for monitoring scarab beetles (Morsi andEl-Gharabawy, 2006, Maharjan andKhanal, 2016).…”

Survey and Population Studies on Insects by Using Pitfall and Sticky Traps at Ibex Reserve National Park, Hutet Beni Tamim, Saudi Arabia

“…Hanna (1963 and1969), Al-Akkad et al (1997), Al-Gammal et al (1999) and Badr et al, (2001) reported similar studies about some insect groups. The ecological studies of insects, e.g., Hafez and Bishara (1961); Hanna (1973); Alfieri (1976); Helal (1977); Sharaf El-din (1981); Badr (1985); Salem et al (1985); Shein-ishen et al (1985); Amin et al (1985); Salem et al (1986); El-Sayed (1987); Ali and Ibrahim (1988); Shah and Garg (1988); Bebars (2000); Abdel-Dayem et al (2003);and Morsi and El-Gharbawy (2006).…”
