Abstract:
... This study assessed the effects of genotype variations in two cultivated rice species: Oryza glaberrima and Oryza sativa on the biology and galling characteristics of the African rice gall midge (AfRGM), Orseolia oryzivora Harris and Gagné. The study was conducted in the screen house at ambient temperature (27 ± 3°C), 70 ± 5% relative humidity and 12:12 h photoperiod. Shoot galling, the most visib ...

Abstract:
... Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are important components of soil ecosystems in temperate zones, but our knowledge regarding the ecology of many species is limited. This study examined larval food habits in the ground beetle Amara (Curtonotus) gigantea (Motschulsky) using laboratory-rearing experiments. Because this beetle is a member of the tribe Zabrini, which includes several species that ...
