Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Do Laboratory‐Reared Flies Perform Differently as Pollinators? Morphology, Behaviour and Pollination Performance of Eristalis tenax (Syrphidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flies (Diptera) are important pollinators in global agriculture, yet little is known about how intraspecific trait variation influences their pollination performance. We compared morphological traits, foraging behaviour and pollination‐related performance metrics between laboratory‐reared (hereafter lab‐reared) and wild populations of ...

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Swine Manure‐Derived Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens L.) Frass Enhances Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) Vegetative Growth and Soil Epigeic Macro‐Arthropod Abundance

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of swine production has increased environmental concerns related to nutrient pollution and improper manure management. Black soldier fly (BSF) larvae offer a promising bioconversion approach, producing frass that may serve as a sustainable organic fertiliser.
