Feeding and mortality of Sitophilus granarius (L.) adults during simulated winter farm bin temperatures
Environmental Entomology 11 (2), 324-326
Abstract: After gradual cold-temperature acclimation, granary weevils, Sitophilus granarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), fed on cut wheat kernels, but not on undamaged kernels, at 4.4°C. Mortality was greater for weevils confined with single, uncut kernels than for those confined with cut kernels, and males died sooner than females.
