Reproductive attributes and functional response of Anastatus japonicus on eggs of Antheraea pernyi, a factitious host. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci, 2022
Single 1‐day‐old mated Anastatus japonicus females exhibited a type II functional response to increasing host densities (1–50 Antheraea pernyi eggs), with an inverse host density‐dependent pattern of percent parasitism. The upper limit to the daily attack rate was estimated as 7.6 Antheraea pernyi eggs.

Courtship Is a Major Factor of Mating-Shortened Male Lifespan in an Egg Parasitoid. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Mating is vital for population survival but often leads to reduced post‐mating longevity in both sexes. In many insects, sperm‐related factors are thought to cut male longevity, while in Anastatus disparis, mating also affects male longevity, with courtship being the main cause. Transcriptomic analyses of A.

Toxicity of Beauveria bassiana to Bactrocera dorsalis and effects on its natural predators [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are economical and environmentally friendly, forming an essential part of integrated pest management strategies. We screened six strains of Beauveria bassiana (B1–B6) (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae), of which B4 was the most ...

Seasonal occurrence of brown marmorated stink bug and its impact in organic and conventional kiwifruit orchards in north-western China. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Higher populations of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) and increased kiwifruit damage were recorded in organic orchards, BMSB population exhibiting a consistent pattern of two generations annually over 3 years. Feeding damage peaked at 59% and 60% in October 2019 and 2021, respectively, with no significant differences in overall damage rates between ...

Classical biological control of the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) in apple orchard: a success story. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
The classical biological control program with Trissolcus japonicus in Trentino effectively reduced Halyomorpha halys damage in apple orchards, increasing discovery efficiency and egg parasitization rates from 2020 to 2023. The results demonstrate reduced pesticide use and fruit damage, highlighting CBC as a sustainable pest management strategy against ...

Parasitoids and pathogens in a collapsing Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) population in Lower Austria

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 8, Page 676-687, September 2023., 2023
Abstract A local population outbreak of the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), in Lower Austria, resulted in the defoliation of an oak forest in 2018 and 2019. In the study year 2020, the population density was still high but was expected to decline.
