Book Synopsis Bee Pollination in Agricultural Ecosystems by : Rosalind R. James
Download or read book Bee Pollination in Agricultural Ecosystems written by Rosalind R. James and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-09 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the interplay among bees, agriculture and the environment. Both managed and wild bees are critical for successful pollination of numerous fruit, vegetable, oilseed and legume seed crops and are considered here. So is treatment of how bees also impact the agro-ecosystem in ways beyond simple pollination, such as by transporting pollen from genetically modified plants and by enhancing biological control strategies. The principles and examples are international. The concept is in line with current thinking of pollination as an important ecological process, and an understanding of agriculture as disturbance ecology.

The text is supplemented by tables containing quantitative data on all aspects of honeybee biology, and by continental and regional maps.
Book Synopsis Trapping and Control of the Small Hive Beetle, Aethina Tumida, an Invasive Parasite of Honey Bees, Apis Mellifera by : Shannon Mary Peterson
Download or read book Trapping and Control of the Small Hive Beetle, Aethina Tumida, an Invasive Parasite of Honey Bees, Apis Mellifera written by Shannon Mary Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The small hive beetle, Aethina tumida Murray (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), is one of the most recent honey bee pests of economic importance, especially in the southeastern United States. Various in-hive traps have been developed to attempt to control the populations of this invasive pest within honey bee colonies. The first year of my research focused on comparing the effectiveness of three commercially available traps for removing small hive beetles. Thirty-two colonies were established with 0.9-kg package bees with a queen in four apiaries. Eight colonies were placed in each apiary, each colony randomly receiving one of four treatments: the three-chambered Hood trap, the disposable Better Beetle Blaster, the Freeman tray trap, or having no trap as a control colony. Two of each type of colony treatment was present in each apiary. Data was collected over a seven month period from April to November 2010. The Freeman tray trap was determined to be the most effective at capturing small hive beetles compared to the other traps and the controls. More adult beetles were consistently trapped within the Freeman trap over the season, with the Better Beetle Blaster and Hood trap capturing more beetles in late summer than earlier in the year. The first and second years of my research additionally investigated the possibility of adult small hive beetles being attracted to dead beetles within traps for a "trapping sink" effect. Five apiaries of three colonies were established with 0.9-kg package bees in 2010 and fifteen apiaries of three colonies were established with 0.9-kg package bees in 2011. The "sink" colonies in each apiary were treated with both the Better Beetle Blaster and Freeman tray trap. In 2010, two apiaries were treated with one sink, two apiaries were treated with two sinks, and the remaining colony had no traps as a control. In 2011, the same treatments were used in the same ratio with six one sink apiaries, six two sink apiaries, and three control apiaries. The data for both investigative years was collected from April to November and compiled for a total of 20 apiaries and 60 colonies. The lack of significance between the trapped and control apiaries demonstrated that there is no discernible "trapping sink" effect when a percentage of colonies within an apiary have small hive beetle traps. This suggests that the recommendation for small hive beetle control within an apiary would be to place traps in every colony.

Book Synopsis Investigating the Integration of Small Hive Beetles (Aethina Tumida Murray, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) Into Western Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera L., Hymenoptera: Apidae) Colonies by : Edward Blake Atkinson
Download or read book Investigating the Integration of Small Hive Beetles (Aethina Tumida Murray, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) Into Western Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera L., Hymenoptera: Apidae) Colonies written by Edward Blake Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, small hive beetles are unique among other beetle species in their ability to find hiding places within the colony where they are confined by honey bee hosts (Chapter 6) until the ambient temperature decreases, whereafter the beetles enter the thermoregulatory cluster of honey bees (Chapter 7). The research presented herein contributes to a greater understanding of attributes of small hive beetles that enable them to integrate successfully into honey bee nests.
Book Synopsis Status of Pollinators in North America by : National Research Council
Download or read book Status of Pollinators in North America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-05-13 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural ecosystems throughout North America. For example, most fruit, vegetable, and seed crops and some crops that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel depend on animals for pollination. This report provides evidence for the decline of some pollinator species in North America, including America's most important managed pollinator, the honey bee, as well as some butterflies, bats, and hummingbirds. For most managed and wild pollinator species, however, population trends have not been assessed because populations have not been monitored over time. In addition, for wild species with demonstrated declines, it is often difficult to determine the causes or consequences of their decline. This report outlines priorities for research and monitoring that are needed to improve information on the status of pollinators and establishes a framework for conservation and restoration of pollinator species and communities.

Book Synopsis Sterile Insect Technique by : Victor A. Dyck
Download or read book Sterile Insect Technique written by Victor A. Dyck and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 1493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly method of pest control that integrates well into area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes. This book takes a generic, thematic, comprehensive, and global approach in describing the principles and practice of the SIT. The strengths and weaknesses, and successes and failures, of the SIT are evaluated openly and fairly from a scientific perspective. The SIT is applicable to some major pests of plant-, animal-, and human-health importance, and criteria are provided to guide in the selection of pests appropriate for the SIT. In the second edition, all aspects of the SIT have been updated and the content considerably expanded. A great variety of subjects is covered, from the history of the SIT to improved prospects for its future application. The major chapters discuss the principles and technical components of applying sterile insects. The four main strategic options in using the SIT — suppression, containment, prevention, and eradication — with examples of each option are described in detail. Other chapters deal with supportive technologies, economic, environmental, and management considerations, and the socio-economic impact of AW-IPM programmes that integrate the SIT. In addition, this second edition includes six new chapters covering the latest developments in the technology: managing pathogens in insect mass-rearing, using symbionts and modern molecular technologies in support of the SIT, applying post-factory nutritional, hormonal, and semiochemical treatments, applying the SIT to eradicate outbreaks of invasive pests, and using the SIT against mosquito vectors of disease. This book will be useful reading for students in animal-, human-, and plant-health courses. The in-depth reviews of all aspects of the SIT and its integration into AW-IPM programmes, complete with extensive lists of scientific references, will be of great value to researchers, teachers, animal-, human-, and plant-health practitioners, and policy makers.
