Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study that focuses "on the behavior of mole crickets in coastal North Carolina." States that "radiographic studies of mole crickets tunneling have documented stereotypic behavior of southern and tawny mole crickets." Results include that "the use of radiography chambers that are essentially two dimensional provides valuable insight into the subterranean activity of mole crickets...The use of larger chambers to hold soil and preparation of a wax-based material to create casts of the tunneling structure has proven quite successful." Concludes that "seeking the answers to these fundamental questions about pest behavior will undoubtedly aid in the development of more effective integrated management programs." |
