Prey Utilization and Laboratory Rearing of Xylocoris Flavipes (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)
Abstract
The first chapter of this thesis is a literature review focusing on biological control in stored products ecosystems and the biology of the predatory insect Xylocoris flavipes. Also included is the biology ofthe stored products pests examined during this study as well as basic information about functional response analysis and artificial diets. Subsequent chapters are formal manuscripts of the research I conducted during my M.S. program and are written in compliance with the publication policies and guidelines for manuscript preparation with the Entomological Society of America.
