The Introduction and Establishment of Campsomeris dorsata (Hymenoptera: Scoliidae) in Florida

The results from this study show that C. dorsata is well established in these areas of Florida, and might still be an important biological control agent of white grubs in sugar cane as well as turf production and maintenance.

The evolutionary history of mammoth wasps (Hymenoptera: Scoliidae)

The higher-level taxonomy of the Scoliidae is in dire need of revision, and it is recommended that taxonomic changes be predicated on datasets that extend the geographic and taxonomic sampling of the current study.

Documenting Potential Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) (Fabaceae) Pollinators in Florida

Compared with short day sunn hemp cultivars, ‘AU Golden’ plants produced flowers early in the season to provide food and habitat for pollinators and have the potential to produce an abundant seed crop in Northern and North Central Florida.

Phylogenetic analysis and biogeography of Scolia (Hymenoptera, Scoliidae, Scoliinae): implications for the classification and origin of Scoliini

The phylogenetic analysis points to the monophyly of the “New World” species, and the biogeographical analysis indicates that the “New World” species originated from a Palaearctic ancestor, through a dispersal event to the Nearctic Region.

Sustainable Control of Taro Beetles via Scoliid Wasps and Metarhizium anisopliae

In spite of the challenge driven by the longevity of the scarab beetles, the combined effect of the larval wasps and the fungal bio-control agent is able to control and drive down the population of both the adult and the beetle eggs below the environmental carrying capacity within an interval of 120 days.

Field Efficacy of Synthetic and Botanical-Derived Insecticides Against Melanaphis sacchari1, and Non-Target and Beneficial Species Associated with Cultivated Sorghum

Flupyradifurone, imidacloprid and acephate should be included in integrated management of M. sacchari, considering adequate use of the product.

Insect herbivores and neighbourhood effects in plant communities of Al Jabal Al Akhdar, Libya

Testing whether there are neighbourhood effects on insect herbivory among the plants of the Al Jabal Al Akhdar region of Libya found no signs of any protective neighbourhood effects of tannin levels, and associational avoidance appears to be the major mechanism of neighbourhood effects.

Observations on the Behaviors of Some Scoliidae and Pompilidae (Hymenoptera) in Florida

The first report of burrowing behavior in a male nearctic scoliid, Campsomeris plumipes fossulana, and the first description of the nesting behavior of the pompilid Anoplius bequaerti are presented.…

Liberation of Oriental Scolioid Wasps in the United States from 1920 to 1946 (Hymenoptera: Scoliidae, Tiphiidae)

During the period 1920-1933 numerous specimens of a dozen odd species of scolioid wasps were imported from the Orient and liberated in the northeastern United States for control of the introduced…

Scoliidae (Hymenoptera) of the lower Rio Grande Valley

The Lower Rio Grande Valley scoliid fauna includes 5 species: the aestivally common Trielis octomaculata texensis, which abounds throughout the year, and the sporadically encountered Campsomeris completa Rohwer, C. hesterae Roh Wer, and C. tolteca, all of which are Neotropic species, some of which invade Sonoran habitats.

Entomophagous Insects

A distinguished entomologist on the staff of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Curtis P. Clausen's own studies have been mainly directed to the parasitic Hymenoptera and he is well qualified to write a book of this kind.

The technique and early operative results of the first few cases are presented, and surprisingly enough their psychologic adjustment, in spite of functional anatomical difficulties, appears to be better than male to female (29 cases).
