acetylcholinerase due to malaoxon in bean beetle Callosobruchus maculatus Background and Hypotheses: Recent studies‚ most notably Gbaye et al. (2011‚ 2012)‚ have investigated the sensitivity of bean beetles in the genus Callosobruchus to organophosphate insecticides (OPs). Economically this is important work given that these beetles are pests that threaten agricultural yields of legumes. OPs work by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinerase (AChE) in the beetles. Without this enzyme‚ the neurotransmitter

flour beetles. The effects of competition on these organisms have often led to interesting discoveries of their behavior. In one study‚ conducted by Sonleitner and Guthrie (1991)‚ they determined that limited resources in a crowded space effects the ovipostion rate of the flour beetles. When beetle population densities become too high for their area‚ the female beetles respond by lowering their oviposition rates. These condition changes include nutrition depletion‚ accumulation of dead beetle skin

In the “beetles” environment the predominant colors are brown‚ green‚ black and tan; and the predominant colors for beans being brown‚ black‚ green and white. Knowing the predominant colors of the environment and of the “beetles” would show that the white color in the species would stand out and be selected against in natural selection. The other “beetles” have similar colors to there environment and would be selected to survive.
