Ecology of Echinometra mathaei (Echinoidea: Echinodermata) at Diani Beach, Kenya
(1971)
Studies were carried out on the inner and outer coral reefs at Diani Beach on the Kenya coast to assess the distribution, density and behaviour of Echinometra mathaei (de Blainville). Transects 1 m wide were run on the two ...
Occurrence of Simulium (Edwardsellum) damnosum s.l. (Diptera: Simuliidae) in nine river systems in Kenya
(1986)
Six river systems in Kenya were found to harbor Simulium damnosum Theobald s.l. Two CDC light traps, during 12-h overnight collections at the Isiukhu and Nzoia rivers, caught 3 and 116 adult S. damnosum s.l., respectively. ...
Effect of the cassava green mite, Mononychellus progresivus, on the development and reproduction of the introduced predatory mite, Phytoseiulus longipes (Acari: Tetranychidae; Phytoseiidae), at different temperatures
(© 2012 Systematic & Applied Acarology Society, 2012-11)
The cassava green mite (CGM), Mononychellus progresivus Doresta allowed for a limited development of the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus longipes Evans at three experimented temperatures. When the predators were confined with ...
Typhlodromalus aripode leon (acari: phytoseiidae) development and reproduction on major cassava pests at different temperatures and humidities: an indication of enhanced mite resilience
(2014)
Both prey type and abiotic conditions limit performance of phytoseiid predators. The exotic predatory
mite, Typhlodromalus aripo developed and reproduced when maintained on eggs and active stages of the cassava ...
Management of cassava green mite Mononychellus progresivus (Acari: Tetranychidae) in different agro-ecological zones of Kenya
(2015)
The cassava green mite (CGM), Mononychellus progresivus Doreste, causes serious leaf damage on cassava
leading to low root yield in the dry savanna regions of Africa. A study to compare effectiveness of the predatory
phytoseiid ...
Ecological distribution of East African Culicoides Latreille (Dipt., Ceratopogonidae) as shown by light-traps
(1971)
Sixty-one Culicoides spp. were collected in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania between January 1966 and December 1967 using light-traps at 35 stations on a NW-SE transect from the Indian Ocean to central Uganda to evaluate the ...
Larval habitats of common Culicoides Latreille (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) in Kenya
(1976)
The larval habitats of Culicoides species were determined by examining a total of 1 476 samples collected from different ecological environments in various parts of Kenya. Immature stages were collected from suspected ...
