Vilaseca, Carolina; Méndez Torres, Marco A.; Pinto, Carlos F.; Benítez, Hugo A. (MDPI, 2020)The morphological variations of four populations of geographically isolated Triatoma infestans located in the area of inter-Andean valleys and Chaco of Chuquisaca, Bolivia, were evaluated. Fifty-three females and sixty-one ...

Torrico Bazoberry, Daniel; Cáceres Sánchez, Liliana; Saavedra Ulloa, Daniela; Flores Prado, Luis; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Pinto, Carlos F. (Oxford, 2014)Treehoppers (Membracidae) exhibit different levels of sociality, from solitary to presocial. Although they are one of the best biological systems to study the evolution of maternal care in insects, information on the ...

Cáceres Sánchez, Liliana; Torrico Bazoberry, Daniel; Cossio, Romina; Reque, Kenia; Aguilar, Sandra; Niemeyer Marich, August; Pinto, Carlos F. (Wiley, 2017)1. Treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae) exhibit a wide range of social behaviours related to maternal care and nymphal aggregation. Maternal care represents an investment in terms of time and energy leading to trade-offs ...

Pinto, Carlos F.; Torrico Bazoberry, Daniel; Flores Prado, Luis; Bustamante Araya, Ramiro; Niemeyer, Hermann M. (Elsevier, 2020)The mechanisms which promote divergence in populations of phytophagous insects using alternative hosts depend on the characterization of hosts as different selective scenarios and the modeling of the demographic dynamics ...

Lemaitre Bailey, Carmen; Pinto, Carlos; Niemeyer Marich, August (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2014)Flowers that are pollinated both during the day and at night could exhibit two different groups of pollinators and produce two different sets of attractants and rewards. We explored the patterns of emission of flower scents ...

Torrico-Bazoberry, Daniel; Caceres-Sanchez, Liliana; Flores-Prado, Luis; Aguilera-Olivares, Daniel; FontÚrbel, Francisco E.; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Pinto, Carlos F. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)© 2018 The Royal Entomological Society 1. Insects exhibiting parental care usually can discriminate between kin and non-kin individuals, allowing parents to avoid investment in foreign offspring. 2. This study investigated ...

Cossio-Rodriguez, Romina; Cocroft, Reginald B.; Niemeyer, Hermann M.; Pinto, Carlos F. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)1. In treehoppers in which courtship has been studied, males initiate the search for females by periodically emitting a vibrational signal. The responses by the female are used by males as a beacon and give rise to a duet. ...

Torrico Bazoberry, Daniel; Pinto, Carlos F.; Flores Prado, Luis; Fonturbel, Francisco; Niemeyer Marich, August (Springer, 2016)The pronotum is the most distinctive and representative structure in treehoppers. Although several functions have been proposed for this structure, its involvement in fitness has not been formally evaluated. Given the high ...

Torrico Bazoberry, Daniel; Pinto, Carlos F.; Davyt Colo, Joselina; Niemeyer Marich, August (Taylor & Francis, 2020)Larvae of Leptus hringuri parasitizing families (adult female + offspring) of the treehopper Alchisme grossa on two host-plants, Brugmansia suaveolens (BS) and Solanum ursinum (SU), were studied. The effect of microenvironmental ...

Pinto, Carlos F.; Salinas, Silvia; Flores Prado, Luis; Echeverría, Javier; Niemeyer Marich, August (Pergamon-Elsevier, 2016)Treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae) are sap-feeding insects distributed mainly in tropical regions. Alchisme grossa is a treehopper that has been reported in the Bolivian Yungas forests using mostly Brugmansia suaveolens ...

Flores-Prado, Luis; Pinto, Carlos F.; Rojas, Alejandra; Fontúrbel, Francisco E. (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2014)Host plants are used by herbivorous insects as feeding or nesting resources. In wood-boring insects, host plants features may impose selective forces leading to phenotypic differentiation on traits related to nest construction. ...
