| sequestration of host plant-derived compounds by geometrid moth, milionia basalis, toxic to a predatory stink bug, eocanthecona furcellata. | a predatory stink bug, eocanthecona furcellata, died after feeding on milionia basalis larvae. the compounds toxic to e. furcellata were isolated from the hemolymph of m. basalis larvae and identified as inumakilactone a, nagilactone c, and nagilactone c glucoside. the concentrations of inumakilactone a, nagilactone c, and nagilactone c glucoside in the hemolymph of the final instar larvae were 130, 50, and 770 microg/ml, respectively. nagilactone c showed the highest insecticidal activity again ... | 2001 | 11504032 |
| morphological diversity of the labial sensilla of phytophagous and predatory pentatomidae (hemiptera: heteroptera), with reference to their possible functions. | sensory structure on the labial surface of five genera of pentatomidae (hemiptera: heteroptera) belonging to two subfamilies i.e. asopinae and pentatominae have been studied using scanning electron microscopy. three representatives of the subfamily pentatominae (phytophagous)-dolycoris indicus (stal), plautia crossota (dallas) and piezodorus hybneri (gmelin) and two of asopinae (predatory)-perillus bioculatus (fabricius) and eocanthecona furcellata (wolff) were studied to morphologically charact ... | 2015 | 26624484 |
| semiochemicals from the predatory stink bug eocanthecona furcellata (wolff): components of metathoracic gland, dorsal abdominal gland, and sternal gland secretions. | volatile compounds from the metathoracic glands (mtg), dorsal abdominal glands (dag), and sternal setae of the generalist predatory stink bug eocanthecona furcellata (wolff) were studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. mtgs of both male and female bugs contained (e)-2-decenal as the major component, with lesser amounts of (e, e)-2,4-decadienal, (e, z)-2,4-decadienal, and (e)-2,9-decadienal. the relative amount of (e)-2,9-decadienal in the mtgs of female bugs was higher than in male bugs ... | 2003 | 14584678 |
| effect of rearing conditions on production of sternal gland secretion, and identification of minor components in the sternal gland secretion of the predatory stink bug eocanthecona furcellata. | production of the male specific compound, 6,10,13-trimethyltetradecyl isovalerate by the predatory stink bug eocanthecona furcellata (wolff) was dramatically affected by rearing conditions. male bugs kept isolated after eclosion produced an average of 1,948 ng of 6,10,13-trimethyltetradecyl isovalerate per bug, whereas male bugs reared in groups of 5-8 bugs produced an average of only 4 ng of 6,10,13-trimethyltetradecyl isovalerate per bug. same-sex or mixed-sex pairs of bugs produced less than ... | 2005 | 15839477 |
| a comparison of infectivity between polyhedra of the spodoptera litura multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus before and after passage through the gut of the stink bug, eocanthecona furcellata. | infectivity of polyhedra of spodoptera litura multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus before and after passage through the gut of the predatory stink bug, eocanthecona furcellata wolff (hemiptera: pentatomidae) was compared through field bioassay studies. three sets of e. furcellata were used for bioassays and these were allowed to feed on a single meal of five third instar oriental leaf worm, spodoptera litura (fabricius) (lepidoptera: noctuidae), that were infected with polyhedra before passage, after p ... | 2014 | 25368052 |
| linking life table and predation rate for biological control: a comparative study of eocanthecona furcellata (hemiptera: pentatomidae) fed on spodoptera litura (lepidoptera: noctuidae) and plutella xylostella (lepidoptera: plutellidae). | to better understand the predator-prey relationship and to compare predation rates, we studied the life table and predation rate of the predator eocanthecona furcellata wolff (hemiptera: pentatomidae) when reared on two major crucifer pests, spodoptera litura (f.) (lepidoptera: noctuidae) and plutella xylostella l. (lepidoptera: plutellidae). the net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate, and net predation rates of e. furcellata reared on p. xylostella were 292.4 offspring, ... | 2016 | 26374904 |
