Many of the insecticides tested in the current paper are known to be effective against other
Coleopteran insect pests (Andersen et al.
2007), is a well-established environment-friendly control tactic that has been successfully used against various dipteran (fruit flies, screwworms, tsetse flies), lepidopteran and
coleopteran pests (Vreysen et al.
1) is a generalist and gregarious endoparasitoid of lepidopteran and
coleopteran pupae (Menezes et al.
Freefall of
coleopteran larvae in search of suitable pupation sites is a commonly assumed, but rarely observed, pathway for reaching the forest floor (Clark et al.
The percent defoliation by caterpillars and beetles, numbers of lepidopteran and
coleopteran defoliators, damage to flowers by Hymenoptera, scraping and boring of fruits by insects and status of their arthropod predators were evaluated monthly in the morning by direct observation of 4 leaves, 4 flowers and 4 fruits per tree in each area during each of the 3 yr.
2006), and for the
coleopteran species, Tribolium castaneum (11 [alpha] and 1 [beta]), and Lepidopteran species, Bombyx mori (9 [alpha] and 3 [beta]), both possessing 12 nAChR subunit genes (Jones & Sattelle 2007; Shao et al.
Caballero (2004) evaluated the antifeedant activity caused by 3 groups of terpenoids (neoclerodane diterpenes, neo-clerodane sesquiterpenes, and limonoids) against Spodoptera exigua Hubner and the
coleopteran, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, with results that suggested to us that we would expect to identify an antifeedant effect caused by terpenes against S.
Wood (1982) also cited the
coleopteran families Cleridae, Colydiidae (= Zopheridae), Cucujidae, Elateridae, Histeridae, Cybocephalidae, Rhizophagidae (Monotomidae), Staphylinidae, and Trogositidae as reported by Chamberlin (1939) as major predators of Scolytidae.

coleopteran pests.
Isolation from a
coleopteran insect of a novel inducible antibacterial peptide and of new members of the insect defension family.
Sharma (2002)[71] also recorded higher
coleopteran density associated with thick vegetation.
