Abstract:
... Keibul Lamjao National Park, only home of Brow-Antler Deer, (Rucervus eldii eldii) is the unique floating park of the world. It is a part of the Loktak Lake, Manipur (Ramsar site). The lake gets major share of water from seven feeder rivers. In this paper an attempt has been made to study aquatic insect diversity of the five sites of the national park area which will indicate the health of the uni ...

Abstract:
... Gryon japonicum (Ashmead) is an egg parasitoid of Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius), an economically important pest of soybean in Korea and Japan. One conservation biological control tactic for this pest is to release refrigerated, non-viable eggs of R. pedestris in a soybean field to enhance natural parasitism by G. japonicum. Since fenitrothion is commonly used against R. pedestris, in this study ...

Abstract:
... Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio F: Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is a major worldwide pest of pine (Pinus) species. The female woodwasp undertakes exploratory drills with the ovipositor prior to egg-laying to assess tree suitability. Previous work has shown that this behaviour is associated with assessing the osmotic pressure of the tree. Here we show that, in addition, the ovipositor is electrophysiolog ...
