BACKGROUND Knowledge of the spatio‐temporal distribution of pests is important for the
development of accurate management approaches. The boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis …

Pest populations are mostly regulated by climate, intra-and interspecific competition, natural
enemies, and host plant quality. Myzus persicae (Sulzer)(Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a widely …

Studies on the spatiotemporal dynamics of crop pests enable the determination of their
colonization pattern and dispersion in the landscape. Geostatistics is an efficient tool to …

Abstract Hypocryphalus Hopkins, 1915 and Cryphalus Erichson, 1836 (Curculionidae:
Scolytinae: Cryphalini) are significant pests of fig, mango, and other economically important …

Insect pests are one of the factors that most impact plant yield. The magnitude of the losses
and the spatiotemporal pest distribution in crops is a result of their interactions with the …

Spatial distribution studies of insect pests make it possible to determine their colonization
and dispersal patterns. Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. et Nakai) is among …

Abstract Anastrepha fraterculus Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a key pest in apple
orchards (Malus domestica Borkh.). Decision making for fruit fly management relies on the …

Bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are receiving increasing scientific
interest because of the economic losses that they can cause in invaded areas. Nonetheless …

BACKGROUND Ceratocystis fimbriata recognized among the species that induce mango
sudden decline (MSD), causes plant death within a short period. The beetles Hypocryphalus …
