Combining lacewings and parasitoids for biological control of foxglove aphids in sweet pepper [PDF]
, 2016 The role of natural enemy diversity in biological pest control has been debated in many studies, and understanding how interactions amongst predators and parasitoids affect herbivore populations is crucial for pest management.

Wing dimorphism in aphids [PDF]
Heredity, 2006 Many species of insects display dispersing and nondispersing morphs. Among these, aphids are one of the best examples of taxa that have evolved specialized morphs for dispersal versus reproduction. The dispersing morphs typically possess a full set of wings as well as a sensory and reproductive physiology that is adapted to flight and reproducing in a ...

Suppression of Plant Defenses by a Myzus persicae (Green Peach Aphid) Salivary Effector Protein
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2014 The complex interactions between aphids and their host plant are species-specific and involve multiple layers of recognition and defense. Aphid salivary proteins, which are released into the plant during phloem feeding, are a likely mediator of these ...

Densovirus induces winged morphs in asexual clones of the rosy apple aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea [PDF]
, 2009 Winged morphs of aphids are essential for their dispersal and survival. We discovered that the production of the winged morph in asexual clones of the rosy apple aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea, is dependent on their infection with a DNA virus, Dysaphis ...
