The response of Tenebroides mauritanicus (L.) and Tenebrio molitor L. to methyl bromide at reduced pressures

Abstract: The response of larvae and adults of Tenebroides mauritanicus (L.) to methyl bromide at reduced pressures is complex. Four zones of differing susceptibility were found : (1) at 15–30 mm. Hg pressure high mortalities were due more to desiccation than the action of the fumigant; (2) at 30–50 mm. low mortalities coincided with loss of visible activity; (3) at 50–175 mm. increased activity and high mortalities occurred; (4) from 175 mm. to atmospheric pressure activity was normal and mortalities declined. In zones… Show more

“…It was therefore necessary to wait until a steady state, called the "standard metabolism", was reached for each particular pressure. Below 100 mm the bees were in a state of coma or stupefaction similar to that reported by MONRO (1959) for T. mauritanicus below 50 ram.…”

“…Observations have already been reported by MONRO (1959) of the visible activity of T. mauritanicus and other insects in air at reduced pressures. In the present study further experiments were made with the larvae and adults of T. mauritanicus exposed to both air and pure oxygen at low pressures.…”
