Núcleo de Ecologia e Manejo de Insetos – NEMI

A work developed by NEMI members was awarded at the 5th Brazilian Plant Protection Congress held from August 7th to 9th in Curitiba, PR. Four conference papers were presented at the event by the former NEMI graduating student in agronomy Jullia Jacques, and the master’s student Fábio Sampaio. The award-winning work by Fábio Sampaio and Cesar A. Marchioro was an oral presentation entitled “Phenological models for estimating the development of Spodoptera cosmioides (Walker, 1858) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) under field conditions”. In addition to this study, three other conference papers were presented at the event:

• Voltinism of Mythimna sequax Franclemont in different climate change scenarios in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina States (Authors: Jullia Jacques, Hevellyn T. Santos, Fábio Sampaio, Cesar A. Marcchioro);
• Effects of temperature on the development of Spodoptera eridania (Cramer, 1872) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (Authors: Fábio Sampaio, Flavia S. Krechemer, Cesar A. Marchioro);
• Survival of the immature stages of Spodoptera eridania (Cramer, 1872) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in different temperatures (Authors: Fábio Sampaio, Flavia S. Krechemer, Cesar A. Marchioro);

Soon these conference papers will be available on our website!
