| colonization of rock pile boundary walls in fields by sylvatic triatomines (hemiptera: reduviidae) in jalisco state, mexico. | granite rocks is a very abundant material in mexico because they are used habitually as borders for fields. the current work established the significance of this ecotype as a colonization site for triatomines of the phyllosoma complex. seven sites, arbitrary selected, in san martin de hidalgo municipality (mexico) were investigated in april 2002 by using 210 mouse bait-traps left during the night in wall hollows. one hundred and seventy-two triatomines of all life stages were collected from the ... | 2004 | 15185954 |
| natural crossbreeding between sympatric species of the phyllosoma complex (insecta: hemiptera: reduviidae) indicate the existence of only one species with morphologic and genetic variations. | the nucleotide sequences of the cytochrome b gene and the antennal phenotypes were analyzed for the following triatomine species: triatoma longipennis, triatoma pallidipennis, and triatoma picturata, which belong to the phyllosoma complex. these species inhabit sympatric areas from talpa de allende, autlan de navarro, and teocuitatlan de corona in jalisco, mexico. molecular marker analysis showed that the sympatric individuals are the natural crossbred descendents of different individuals living ... | 2010 | 20064999 |
