Abstract: Abstract Insects possess a variety of defenses against natural enemies including physical attack, chemical repellency, physiological suppression, and visual camouflage. The hypothesis that wax production by the whitefly Aleurodicus dugesii Cockerell (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) functions as… read more here.
