The Dynamics of the Lek System and Mating Success in Males of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann)

Arita, Lorna H; Kaneshiro, Kenneth Y (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1985)

Experiments were conducted to investigate the dynamics of the lek mating system in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). The results indicate that only a portion of the total male population participates ...
Ethological Isolation Between Two Stocks of Drosophila Adiastola Hardy

Arita, Lorna H; Kaneshiro, Kenneth Y (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1979)
An Inexpensive Capillary Flow Board For Olfactometer Studies

Furutani, Sheldon C; Arita, Lorna H; Tsang, Marcel M (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1989)

An inexpensive, easy-to-construct capillary flow board was developed by utilizing polypropylene tubing for the manifolds and Tygon tubing for the manometers. This modified capillary flow hoard provides multiple port outlets ...
Pollen Types Collected by Honey Bees at Three Localities on the Island of Hawaii Part I: Floral Source Identification

Arita, Lorna H; Sakai, William S; Moniz, Jadelyn J (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1989)

Pollen pellets removed from the hindlegs of honey bees returning to their hive, were collected on a monthly basis at 200 ft elevation at Hakalau and Panaewa, and at 4000 ft elevation at Volcano, all on the island of Hawaii. ...
Pseudomale Courtship Behavior of the Female Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann)

Arita, Lorna H; Kaneshiro, Kenneth Y (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1983)

Virgin laboratory females of the Mediterranean fruit fly perform a series of behavioral actions which closely resembles the courtship repertoire of their males. This pseudomale courtship behavior occurs when females are ...
Quantity and Color Types of Pollen Collected by Honey Bees in a Hive in Panaewa, Hawaii

Moniz, Terence T; Arita, Lorna H; Fujii, Jack K (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1988)

The amount of pollen collected by the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera L. relative to pollen color types and rainfall was studied on the UHH Agriculture Farm Laboratory at Panaewa, Hawaii. During the one year experimental ...
Quantity and Seasonal Variation of Pollen Types Collected by Honey Bees at Two Localities on the Island of Hawaii

Arita, Lorna H; Fujii, Jack K (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1992)

Monthly pollen pellet samples were collected from honey bee hives located at Hakalau and Volcano, Hawaii island, along with rainfall data for each site. The total amount of pollen collected at Hakalau ranged from a low of ...
Relationship Between Simulated Chinese Rose Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Feeding and Photosynthetic Rate Reduction

Furutani, Sheldon C; Arita, Lorna H; Fujii, Jack K (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1990)

Photosynthetic rate measurements of the remaining leaf lamina tissue were taken from snap bean and corn plants after simulated Chinese rose beetle, Adoretus sinicus Burmeister, feeding. There was a linear decline in ...
Reproductive and Sexual Maturity of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann)

Arita, Lorna H (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1982)

The data presented suggest temporal differences between reproductive maturity and sexual maturity in males as well as females of Ceratitis capitata. Males were reproductively mature near the time they eclose though they ...
Structure and Function of the Rectal Epithelium and Anal Glands During Mating Behavior in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly Male

Arita, Lorna H; Kaneshiro, Kenneth Y (Hawaiian Entomological Society, 1986-03)

Previous authors have implicated a pair of anal glands as the primary source of the pheromone used in the mating behavior of the Mediterranean fruit fly male. The dissemination of the pheromone is enhanced by the rectal ...
