Abstract This paper provides an analysis of the Mexican Revolution in its understudied military dimension , offering a comparison with the war in Europe . It proposes that both wars were "total" , so it is wrong to see the Revolution as a "party of bullets " little deadlier . Addresses five issues : 1 ) the concept of ' total war ' (which includes massive recruitment and industrial warfare ) ; 2) an analysis of the Revolution in these terms (recruitment, low , demographic and economic cost); 3) the transition from ‘asymmetric’ war to conventional war, c.1914 ; 4) the nature of the war (in terms of tactics , moral and arms ) ; and 5) the consequences : militarization, the legacy of violence and the role of veterans in politics.

Resumen Esta ponencia ofrece un análisis de la Revolución mexicana en su poco estudiada dimensión militar, ofreciendo una comparación con la guerra en Europa. Propone que ambas guerras fueron “totales”, por tanto es erróneo ver la Revolución como una “fiesta de balas” poco mortífera. Trata cinco temas: 1) el concepto de ‘guerra total’ (que incluye reclutamiento masivo y guerra industrial); 2) un análisis de la Revolución en estos términos (reclutamiento, bajas, costo demográfico y económico); 3) la transición de guerra ‘asimétrica’ a guerra convencional, c.1914; 4) la naturaleza de la guerra (en cuanto a tácticas, moral y armamentos); y 5) las consecuencias: la militarización, el legado de violencia y el papel de los veteranos en la política.

Studies were conducted in the Maule Region to characterize the phenology of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) The Predictive Extension Timing Estimator (PETE) and a logistic phenological model were validated with eight data sets of cumulative moth catches in sex pheromone (PH) and kairomone-baited traps and the cumulative occurrence of fruit injuries from apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) orchards during the 2009-2011 seasons. Second, the start of egg hatch was predicted from the first sustained male and female moth catches (biofix) in traps baited with pear ester (PE), PE+acetic acid (AA), PE+PH, and PH alone. Both phenological models fit data well except that the logistic provided a better fit than the PETE model of the phenology of egg hatch of the codling moth in the first generation, with a difference of 11 d between models in the prediction of 50% egg hatch. No significant difference was found between biofix dates established for males using either PH or PE+PH lures or for the biofix date based on female catches with PE+AA or PH+PE. The biofix established with the sustained female catch occurred nearly 11 d later than the male-based biofix. The use of a female biofix provided on average a 4-d improvement in the prediction of first egg hatch compared with the traditional use of a male biofix, but this difference was not significant. The use of PE+AA lures increased the proportion of cases when a female-based biofix could be established compared with the use of the PH+PE lure.

An evaluation of orange and clear traps with pear ester to monitor codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in apple orchards. Cien. Inv. Agr. 40(2):307-315. Studies were conducted to evaluate the use of several trap-lure combinations to improve the monitoring of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in apple, Malus domestica Bordk. The treatments involved the use of clear, orange, and white traps baited with one or more of the following attractants: the major sex pheromone component of the codling moth, (E, E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol (codlemone, PH); a primary volatile constituent of ripe pear, ethyl (E, Z)-2,4-decadienoate (pear ester, PE); and acetic acid (AA). The studies were conducted in an orchard treated with sex pheromone dispensers in Washington State (USA) and in four untreated orchards in the Maule Region (Chile). In Washington State, the PE+AA lures caught more females than the PE+PH lure in both the clear and orange traps. The clear traps caught more female moths than the orange traps when each trap was baited with the PE+PH lure. The two lures caught similar total numbers of moths across trap colors. The clear traps baited with PE+PH caught significantly more total moths than the orange traps baited with PE+AA. In Chile, the clear traps baited with PE+AA caught more females than the orange traps baited with PE+PH over both moth flights during two field seasons. The white traps baited with PH and the orange traps baited with PE+PH caught similar total numbers of moths in three of the four flight periods. The clear trap baited with PE+AA caught significantly fewer moths than the two treatments that included a PH lure in two of the four flight periods. These data suggest that the adoption of clear delta traps with PE+AA lures would allow growers to better track the seasonal population dynamics of female codling moths.

W. Barros-Parada, A.L. Knight, E. Basoalto y E. Fuentes-Contreras. 2013. Evaluación de trampas naranjas y transparentes con éster de pera para monitorear la polilla de la manzana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) en huertos de manzano. Cien. Inv. Agr. 40(2):307-315. Se realizaron estudios para evaluar el uso de varias combinaciones entre trampas y cebos para el monitoreo de la polilla de la manzana, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), en manzano Malus domestica Bordk. Los tratamientos incluyeron el uso de trampas transparentes, naranjas y blancas cebadas con uno o más de los siguientes atrayentes: (E, E)-8,10-dodecadien-l-ol (codlemona, PH), el compuesto mayoritario de la feromona sexual de la polilla de la manzana; (E, Z)-2,4-decadienoato de etilo (éster de pera, PE), un compuesto volátil constituyente del olor a pera madura; y ácido acético (AA). Los estudios fueron conducidos en un huerto tratados con dispensadores de confusión sexual en el Estado de Washington (EE.UU.) y en cuatro huertos no tratados en la Región del Maule (Chile). En el Estado de Washington los cebos PE+AA capturaron significativamente más polillas hembras que los cebos PE+PH, tanto en las trampas transparentes y naranjas. La trampa transparente capturó más polillas hembras que la trampa naranja con PE+PH. La captura total de polillas no se diferenció entre ambos cebos con distintos tipos de trampa. Las trampas delta transparentes, cebadas con PE+PH, capturaron más polillas totales que las trampas naranjas cebadas con PE+AA. En Chile, la trampa transparente cebada con PE+AA capturó significativamente más hembras que la trampa naranja cebada con PE+PH, considerando ambos vuelos y temporadas de estudio. En tres de cuatro periodos de vuelo las trampas blancas, cebadas con feromona, capturaron un número similar de polillas totales que las trampas naranjas cebadas con PE+PH. En dos de los cuatro periodos de vuelo las trampas transparentes con PE+AA capturaron significativamente menos polillas totales que los tratamientos que incluyeron cebos con PH. Estos datos sugieren que la adopción de trampas delta transparentes con cebos de PE+AA permitiría a los productores un mejor seguimiento estacional de la dinámica poblacional de las hembras de la polilla de la manzana.
