Advancing social insect research through the development of an automated yellowjacket nest activity monitoring station using deep learning
(Wiley, 2024-07)We describe the development and validation of an autonomous monitoring station that identifies and records the movement of social insects into and out of the colony. The hardware consists of an illuminated channel and a ... -
Brewer’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, enhances attraction of two invasive yellowjackets (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) to dried fruit and fruit powder
(2017-09)The German yellowjacket, Vespula germanica F., and common yellowjacket, Vespula vulgaris L. (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), are pests of significant economic, environmental, and medical importance in many countries. There is a ... -
Characterization of the earwig, Doru lineare, as a predator of larvae of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda: a functional response study
(Entomological Society of America, 2010-01)Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is considered as the most important pest of maize in almost all tropical America. In Argentina, the earwig Doru lineare Eschscholtz (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) has been ... -
Damage reduction of Acromyrmex lobicornis in Pinus ponderosa using mixed pine species in combination with push–pull tools
(Wiley, 2023-11)Leaf-cutting ants (LCAs) cause significant damage to forest plantations and are mainly managed by broad-spectrum synthetic insecticides. In Patagonia, Pinus ponderosa (Pinales: Pinaceae) (Douglas 1836) and Pinus contorta ... -
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ... -
Factors affecting success of galls of Aditrochus coihuensis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) = Factores que afectan el éxito de las agallas de Aditrochus coihuensis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
(Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2011-12)Galls of Aditrochus coihuensis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) were collected from their host tree, the southern beech Nothofagus dombeyi, near San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, during the spring of 2007. Galls were carefully ... -
Flight capabilities of invasive yellowjacket Vespula germanica drones: the effect of kinship and nutrition
(Wiley, 2024-01)Dispersal is a multifactorial process which may influence, among several others, population dynamics, inbreeding likelihood, and mate competition. For species that disperse by flight, many studies have suggested that ... -
Host selection behaviour of the banded pine weevil, Pissodes castaneus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Wiley, 2023-08)Pissodes castaneus represents an emerging pest species for Pinus spp. production in Latin America. This species attacks all the cultivated pine species in Patagonia Argentina causing wood damage and tree death. The objectives ... -
Potential impact of the leaf‐cutting ant Acromyrmex lobicornis on conifer plantations in northern Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2011-05)The economic losses associated with crop damage by invasive pests can be minimized by recognizing their potential impact before they spread into new areas or crops. We experimentally evaluated the preferences of the ... -
Spatial dynamics of a Sirex noctilio woodwasp population within a pine plantation in Patagonia, Argentina
(Wiley, 2007-12)The woodwasp Sirex noctilio F. (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is probably the most important pest of pine tree plantations of the southern hemisphere. We studied the spatial arrangement of an endemic population of the woodwasp ... -
Worldwide diversity of endophytic fungi and insects associated with dormant tree twigs
(Springer, 2022-03)International trade in plants and climate change are two of the main factors causing damaging tree pests (i.e. fungi and insects) to spread into new areas. To mitigate these risks, a large-scale assessment of tree-associated ...
