| oviposition response of chironomus tepperi to nitrogenous compounds and bioextracts in two-choice laboratory tests. | two-choice laboratory tests were used to investigate the oviposition response of chironomus tepperi to a range of nitrogenous compounds and crude bioextracts. responses to nitrogenous compounds varied in response to concentration. ammonium nitrate did not influence oviposition at concentrations from 2 to 12 mg/liter. hydroxylamine hydrochloride increased oviposition at 6 mg/liter, but had no effect at either 2 or 12 mg/liter. sodium nitrate reduced oviposition at 2 mg/liter relative to the contr ... | 2003 | 12775151 |
| the acute toxicity of fipronil to two non-target invertebrates associated with mosquito breeding sites in australia. | mosquito-borne arboviruses are a significant health issue in the irrigation areas of south-eastern australia. fipronil, a pyrazole insecticide with strong activity against larval culex species, was tested for its acute effects on simocephalus elizabethae (daphniidae) and polypedilum nubiferum (chironomidae), two non-target invertebrates associated with australian rice field mosquito habitats. technical and formulated fipronil were assessed in the presence or absence of particulate artificial die ... | 2011 | 21087594 |
