Phylogeny of the Subtribe Monoctonina (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae) [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Members of the Monoctonina subtribe have long been neglected in applied studies of the subfamily Aphidiinae, due to their low economic importance, as they do not parasitize pests of cultivated plants.

Sizing the Knowledge Gap in Taxonomy: The Last Dozen Years of Aphidiinae Research [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Taxonomic impediment is one of the main roadblocks to managing the current biodiversity crisis. Insect taxonomy is the biggest contributor to the taxonomic impediment, both in terms of the knowledge gap and the lack of experts.

Aphid parasitism alters induced plant responses allowing a hyperparasitoid to locate its hidden parasitoid host. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 14, Page 4063-4077, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Parasite‐mediated selection can rapidly drive up resistance levels in host populations, but fixation of resistance traits may be prevented by costs of resistance. Black bean aphids (Aphis fabae) benefit from increased resistance to parasitoids when carrying the defensive bacterial endosymbiont Hamiltonella defensa.

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 182, Issue 2, Page 245-256, March 2023., 2023 Flower strips in apple orchard alleways may improve the control of rosy apple aphids by mass released parasitoids. Abstract Mass releases of two parasitoid species, Aphidius matricariae and Ephedrus cerasicola, may provide an alternative measure to pesticides to control the rosy apple aphid Dysaphis plantaginea in organic apple orchards.

Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 420-432, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Ovaustra aurantia Tetley, Glatz & Fagan‐Jeffries, gen. et sp. nov. (Mesostoinae) is described from Kangaroo Island. South Australia, Australia, and is a solitary, koinobiont, egg‐larval parasitoid of the enigma moth, Aenigmatinea glatzella Kristensen & Edwards, 2015, in the monotypic family Aenigmatineidae Kristensen & Edwards, 2015 ...

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, September 2022., 2022 This study obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of Chelonus formosanus, provided a thorough description of its genome features and constructed phylogenetic relationships among major Braconidae lineages. Abstract Chelonus formosanus Sonan is an important egg‐larval parasitoid of noctuid moths and a potential candidate for understanding ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 3596-3607, August 2022., 2022 Total field observed and laboratory observed parasitism rates of Myzus persicae varied considerably, indicating that mummy counts alone do not provide a clear representation of aphid parasitism in canola fields. Abstract Background Estimating parasitoid abundance in the field can be difficult, even more so when attempting to quantify parasitism rates ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1513-1523, June 2022., 2022 Our study presents evidence of the benefits of adopting strip intercropping with relatively large strips (adapted to existing machinery) for natural predator diversity and biological pest control in a large‐scale conventionally managed farm scenario. Wheat–oilseed rape strip intercropping reduced pest densities, increased parasitism of wheat aphids and

The diversity of aphid parasitoids in East Africa and implications for biological control
Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 1109-1116, March 2022., 2022 Parasitoids were identified from sentinel plants in East Africa and targets for conservation biological control of aphids were identified. Aphidius colemani was the most abundant primary parasitoid and further genetic analysis revealed our specimens were comprised of multiple haplotypes. © 2021 The Authors.
