The cuticular hydrocarbons of insects are species-specific and often function as semiochemicals. The activity of Tribolium brevicornis cuticular hydrocarbons as feeding deterrents that ostensibly function to prevent pupal cannibalism and predation was evaluated. The cuticular hydrocarbons of T.

Maize flour was infested with fresh emerged Tribolium castaneum adults, and its nutritional composition was evaluated after 0, 45, and 90 days of the infestation. Furthermore, 99% carbon dioxide was applied to different developmental stages of T. castaneum for its management. There were six

Possible causes of asymmetrical direct and indirect selection responses in Tribolium which were observed in a series of various experiments have been investigated. In some experiments the pupae were weighed just after pupation and in others they were weighed on the 20th day of incubation. Weight

Hermetic storage is used to protect grain against insect pests, but its utility is not limited to whole grains. We evaluated hermetically-sealed, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles for preserving wheat and maize flour against red flour beetle (RFB, Tribolium castaneum, Herbst) population

Seven related populations of Tribolium castaneum were compared to determine the effect that selection for increased 21-day pupa weight had on certain other aspects of growth.It was found that the response to selection for increased 21-day pupa weight had been accompanied by an increase in weight at
