“…Pingale (1954) mentioned that A. venator is an effective agent in the control of C. cautella and A. diaperinus. Nishi et al (2004) in their study report that A. venator hunts larvae, pupae and adults of T. confusum, preferring the first. Predation is more significantly expressed at 30 °C than at 25 °C, because the optimum temperature for breeding and development of A. venator is 30.0-32.5 °C.…”

The monograph is presented in four parts. The first part is devoted to the experimental and theoretical substantiation of the criteria for safety and quality assessment of goat's milk. Parameters of subclinical mastitis in goats, comparison of methods efficiency for determination of somatic cell count in goat milk, monitoring studies of goat's and cow's milk in France and Ukraine, effect of exogenous and endogenous factors on the quality and safety of goat milk are described. The second and third parts are devoted to Coleoptera pests of stored food supplies and field crops. The forth part includes characteristics of Poaceae family members in the steppe zone of Ukraine as the main objects of farm animals feeding. Ecological characteristics of the species according to the Belgard Ekomorph System and their geographical analysis were presented. Sozological and feeding value of the species were described.

“…Brower et al 9 It has been reported that a X. flavipes adult killed only to 3 late-instar larvae of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) in 24 h . However, the maximum attack rate in 24 h of a L. campestris adult on the late-instar larvae of T. castaneum was estimated to be 5.0-.7 26 , and that of an A. venator adult on the lateinstar larvae of Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val was estimated to be 6.5-4.9 24 . Furthermore, the maximum attack rate of an A. venator adult on T. confusum adults was estimated to be 3.6-27.8, revealing that A. venator is a good predator with regards to T. confusum adults 24 .…”

The subject of this study was to examine biological aspects and predatory abilities of predatory bugs that prey on stored-product insects. Biological controls in stored products are being regarded with increasing interest since they are nontoxic and do not damage human health or the environment. Several species of predatory bugs have been studied as biological control agents. Specifically, Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter) is the most studied candidate biological control agent among predatory bugs. X. flavipes is advantageous because it has a high population increase capacity and wide distribution. X. flavipes has been reported to suppress populations of small insects, but it can not predate large insects and internal grain feeding insects. As Amphibolus venator (Klug), Peregrinator biannulipes (Montrouzier & Signoret) and Joppeicus paradoxus Puton can attack large insects, more research should be carried out on the suppression effects of these bugs. A combination of several biological control agents that can attack different types of insects will be needed to control whole pest complexes in various stored environments.

“…In the present study, we tested the effects of aging on locomotor activity and foraging ability in the assassin bug Amphibolus venator (Klug) [Reduviidae]. A. venator is a carnivorous insect, and they often eat stored-grain insects, including the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum [16]. We hypothesized that if A. venator also shows decreased locomotor activity with age, then foraging ability could decrease with age as well.…”

20Animal behaviors are often affected by aging. In many insect species, 21 locomotor activity decreases with aging. Foraging ability may also decrease 22 with aging. However, few studies have investigated the effects of aging on 23 both locomotor activity and foraging ability. In the present study, we tested 24 the aging effect on locomotor activity and foraging ability in the assassin bug 25 Amphibolus venator. The present results showed that locomotor activity 26 decreased with age, similar to findings in many other animal species. 27However, foraging ability increased with age. Namely, the decline in 28 locomotor activity with age did not lead to a decline in foraging ability. The 29 positive relationship between foraging ability and age may be related to the 30 type of predation, sit-and-wait, used by A. venator via alterations in 31 investment in reproductive traits with age. 32 33
