European Journal of Entomology, 2005 One of the factors affecting the effectiveness of predatory coccinellids in an aphid infested crop is the food specificity of the predator. The response towards six species of aphids (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae) was therefore tested in one of the most ...

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT The Australian Crop Mirid (ACM), Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae), is highly polyphagous and is endemic to Australia. It is widely distributed across Australia and New Zealand and feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops. ACM has traditionally been a pest of forage crops and legumes but has recently emerged as a key pest of several

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.

Potential use of a serpin from Arabidopsis for pest control. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Although genetically modified (GM) plants expressing toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protect agricultural crops against lepidopteran and coleopteran pests, field-evolved resistance to Bt toxins has been reported for populations of several ...

Ein roter Biotyp von Acyrthosiphon pisum an Erbse (Homoptera: Aphididae).
, 1984 Rote Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) sind in Erbsenfeldern im Bezirk Magdeburg aufgetreten. Die typischen, die Erbse befallenden Formen von A. pisum, sind dagegen grün gefärbt.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1165-1176, November 2025.The noctuid pest western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) lays its eggs in corn fields over the season. Various generalist predators consume the eggs and larvae of this pest. To improve integrated pest management of S. albicosta, this study identified key trophic interactions between S. albicosta and predatory arthropods in corn fields.

Interspecific differences of ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in their repellency to ants
Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 1, Page 73-83, September 2025.Our study found that, unlike those from mealworms, compounds in whole‐body extracts of ladybirds effectively deterred ants. No correlation was found between the degree of aposematic colouration (highly conspicuous vs. less conspicuous) and repellence. Mycophagous ladybird species exhibited levels of protection comparable to predatory species, and large

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine whether the predation strategy of larvae of the aphidophagous silver fly Leucopis annulipes Zetterstedt (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae) is furtive, as are larvae of the aphidophagous midge Aphidoletes ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 463-475, August 2025.Abstract Invasive eucalypt psyllids pose a threat to the long‐term production of eucalypts worldwide. In order to reduce their economic impact, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. The objectives of this study were to determine the host specificity and host stage preference of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae,
