FACTORS AFFECTING THE BIOLOGY OF PACHYCREPOIDEUS VINDEMMIAE (HYMENOPTERA: PTEROMALIDAE), A PARASITOID OF SPOTTED-WING DROSOPHILA (DROSOPHILA SUZUKII).

Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae is a wasp that parasitizes and host-feeds on pupae of the invasive spotted-wing drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii).Few studies have End Cap addressed interactions between these two species and little is known about the potential of this parasitoid as a biocontrol agent of SWD and the different variables that may affect

Microbial contamination in shopping trolleys (eighty five) by considering different supermarkets (seven) from three major food companies in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) was determined.The two sampled areas were trolley handles plant and food trolley baskets-child seats.Samples were analyzed by selective and differential microbiological cultur

A new trough solar Fridge Adjustable Roller concentrator which is composed of multiple reflection surfaces is developed in this paper.The concentrator was analyzed firstly by using optical software.The variation curves of the collecting efficiency affected by tracking error and the deviation angle were given out.It is found that the deviation toler

We describe and name a new species of Noblella Barbour, 1930 (Strabomantidae) from southern Peru.Key diagnostic characteristics of the new species include the presence of a LIVING MUSTARD short, oblique fold-like tubercle on the ventral part of the tarsal region, two Girls Fall Dressy Set phalanges on finger IV, and an evident tympanum.The elevatio
