Abstract The presence of predators can induce non‐consumptive effects on prey that result in subsequent changes to prey behaviour and defence. We investigate the interaction between top‐down non‐consumptive effects of various stages of the predator Coccinella septempunctata L.(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (larvae and adult) and bottom‐up effects of host ...

Strategies used by two apterous strains of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum for passive dispersal
Wingless forms of aphids are relatively sedentary, and have a limited ability to migrate or disperse. However, they can drop off hosts or walk away if disturbed, or their food quality or quantity become deteriorated. Earlier, we found that the pea aphid,

Endomeiosi inAcyrthosiphon PisumHarris (Homoptera, Aphididae)
RIASSUNTOL'A. ha confermato che il numero cromosomico diploide di Acyrthosiphon pisum e 2 n = 8. La coppia dei cromosomi sessuali e rappresentata dai cromosomi di lunghezza maggiore.Anche in questa specie durante l'ovogenesi partenogenetica si verifica l'endomeiosi, che presenta modalita diverse rispetto ad altri Afidi.

To attract mates, several coleopteran taxa release volatile sex pheromones via a behaviour termed calling. We studied a postulated calling behaviour in the seven‐spot ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L. for the first time. We also investigated the effects of immediate mating history and the presence of conspecifics on calling behaviour.

ABSTRACT The use of substrate borne vibrational playback to control insect pests is a rapidly growing line of research targeting many problematic species. Among the control approaches currently being tested, vibrational deterrent playbacks that aim to prevent feeding and to drive pests away from the target area are comparatively under‐explored.

The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), shows wing polyphenism (winged and wingless morphs) in its life cycle. The winged morph is adapted for dispersal; its two developmental adult stages (for dispersal and reproduction) are ...

ABSTRACT Faba bean can be infected by Pea necrotic yellow dwarf virus (PNYDV), a novel pathogen throughout Europe, and transmitted persistently by several legume‐colonising aphid species. Recent field screenings in Austria and Germany of different faba bean varieties were encouraging as consistently the lowest viral symptom development in the variety ...

Common mycorrhizal networks enhance defense responses against pathogens in neighboring plants
The common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) provide a channel for interplant communication, which enables plants of different species to prepare for pathogen infections without direct exposure. The CMNs change the microbial abundance and community structure of the neighboring plants following pathogen infection in the donor plants, which further enhances ...
