dna barcoding of common soft scales (hemiptera: coccoidea: coccidae) in china. | the soft scales (hemiptera: coccoidea: coccidae) are a group of sap-sucking plant parasites, many of which are notorious agricultural pests. the quarantine and economic importance of soft scales necessitates rapid and reliable identification of these taxa. nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi) gene (barcoding region) and 28s rdna were generated from 340 individuals of 36 common soft scales in china. distance-based [(best match, automated barcode gap disco ... | 2015 | 25989705 |
density-dependent ant attendance and its effects on the parasitism of a honeydew-producing scale insect, ceroplastes rubens. | the intensity of attendance by a honeydew-foraging ant, lasuis niger, on the red wax scale insect, ceroplastes rubens, was estimated at different manipulated densities in the field. the time that individual ants were present and the total attendance time (seconds x number of ants) of ants on scale-infested twigs significantly increased as the density of c. rubens increased, i.e. ant attendance was density dependent. to determine the effects of density dependence of ant attendance on parasitism o ... | 1996 | 28307442 |
