Dietary Effects on Biological Parameters and Gut Microbiota of Harmonia axyridis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The multicolored Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis, H. axyridis, Coleoptera, and Coccinellidae) is an effective biocontrol agent against agricultural pests. Previous studies have suggested that amount, type, and the quality of food can directly affect

Aphid honeydew: An arrestant and a contact kairomone for Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) larvae and adults

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
Predator searching efficiency increases in response to a variety of environmental cues associated with its prey. The sugary excretion of aphids (honeydew) has been found to act as a prey-associated cue for many aphid natural enemies. In the present study,

Predator niche overlap predicts effects on aphid vectors and a vector-borne virus. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Multiple predator species can enhance or disrupt prey suppression based on whether different predators forage in complementary or overlapping niches. Interactions between predator species are primarily evaluated by resulting effects on prey abundance, although alterations of prey behavior also occur.

Effect of Aphid Foraging on the Intensity of Photosynthesis and Transpiration of Selected Crop Plants in Its Early Stages of Growing

Agronomy, 2022
Plant stress caused by aphid foraging can cause a number of disturbances in its vital functions. The degree of disturbance depends on the duration of the stress factor and its intensity.
