Essential oil of Lippia sidoides and its major compound thymol: toxicity and walking response of populations of Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

TL;DR: The walking behavior of maize weevil showed that the EO of L. sidoides and thymol present repellent effect, however, ρ-cymene present attractive effect, therefore, the Lippia sidoide and its major compoundThymol are promising source to develop bioinsecticides for the management of S. zeamais populations with different levels of resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoformulation prototype of the essential oil of Lippia sidoides and thymol to population management of Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

TL;DR: Prototypes of nanoformulations based on the EO of L. sidoides and its major compound are promising for the management of S. zeamais populations, and increasing of NF concentrations led to reduced grain consumption and total population mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Termitarium volume as a determinant of invasion by obligatory termitophiles and inquilines in the nests of Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae)

TL;DR: The results indicated that the invasion of C. cyphergaster nests by obligatory termitophiles and inquilines was dependent on nest size, and there appeared to be a critical nest size above which nests were more prone to invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutual Use of Trail-Following Chemical Cues by a Termite Host and Its Inquiline

TL;DR: It is determined that the trail-following pheromone of C. cyphergaster is made of neocembrene and (3Z,6Z,8E)-dodeca-3,6,8-trien-1-ol, and that I. microcerus shows the converse behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diet Segregation between Cohabiting Builder and Inquiline Termite Species

TL;DR: Results indicate the possibility that dietary partitioning by these cohabiting termites was not majorly driven by current interactive constraints, rather, it seems to be a result of traits previously fixed in the evolutionary past of cohabitants.
