Abstract:
... US2A, US2D, and US2F are three in vivo cloned genotypic variants from the wild‐type strain of a Spodoptera exigua nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) isolated in Florida (USA) and is the active component of the commercial bioinsecticide Spod‐X®. These variants were compared in terms of pathogenicity (LD₅₀), speed of kill (expressed as mean time to death) and viral progeny productivity (OBs/larva). LD₅₀ ...

Abstract:
... Pond-cypress, a deciduous conifer, is a dominant canopy species in depressional wetlands of the southeastern Coastal Plain (SCP). Extensive premature decline and death of pond-cypress trees in central Florida have been attributed to hydroperiod alterations due to excessive withdrawals of ground water from the Floridan aquifer. One factor identified in the decline process is basal decay, which may ...

Growth, survivorship, recruitment, and reproduction of Halimeda tuna, a dominant green alga in many reef systems of the Florida Keys, were monitored at a shallow back reef (4–7m) and deep reef slope (15–22 m) on Conch Reef. Despite lower light intensities and similar grazing pressures, amphipod infestations, and epiphyte loads at both sites, the deeper site exhibited significantly higher growth ra ...

Abstract:
... Citrus sudden death (CSD) appears to be a new disease that is a serious problem in Brazil. Symptoms of CSD include yellow stain in the phloem of the rootstock. The cause is not known, but it appears to be infectious and may only affect trees budded on Rangpur lime. In a survey in Brazil, in addition to CSD, we observed numerous trees on Rangpur lime that were obviously declining but had remained i ...

Abstract:
... Projecting the space needed for the disposal of the dead is often overlooked as a planning function, but the permanence of allocating land to cemetery use makes it critical to long range land use planning. There is very little contemporary guidance for planners on the variables which should be considered when projecting the land use needs of the dead. In this paper we present a method that illustr ...

We investigated the effect of West Nile virus (WNV) infection on survival in two colonies of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) originating from Vero Beach and Gainesville, FL. Mosquitoes were fed West Nile virus-infected blood and checked daily for survival. Exposure to WNV decreased survival among Cx. p. quinquefasciatus from Gainesville relative to unexposed individuals at ...
