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

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.
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.

Floral resource strips enhance parasitoid abundance and diversity in apple orchards and promote agroecological advances in a South African biosphere reserve

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 559-572, May 2026.
Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Biology of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) B-biotype and parasitism by Encarsia formosa (Gahan) on collard, soybean and tomato plants Aspectos biológicos de Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) biótipo B e parasitismo por Encarsia formosa (Gahan) em couve, soja e tomateiro

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2008
The silverleaf whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) B-biotype (= B. argentifolii) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a polyphagous insect attacking many plant species of economic importance. A comparison study was conducted on the duration of the egg-to-adult period,

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 598-620, May 2026.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

A Parasitoid of Aphids Manipulates Host Mummification Site, With Effects on Survival but Not Hyperparasitism

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Parasitoid wasps can manipulate host behavior to enhance their own survival. Here we find that a parasitoid of aphids, Aphelinus chaonia, induces aphids to move to the leaf axil or leave the plant prior to pupation. This seems to have no effect on hyperparasitism, but mummy location may nevertheless impact parasitoid survival.

Exploring hymenopteran parasitoid communities and their hosts: A comparative study of farmland and semi‐natural ecotones with focus on pentatomoid bugs and their antagonists

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 118-127, February 2026.
Farmland ecotones support high parasitoid diversity, despite lower arthropod richness compared to semi‐natural habitats. Farmland ecotones support high pentatomoid bug abundance, while pentatomoid parasitoids were equally abundant and diverse in both ecotones.
