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.

Prospects for habitat management to suppress vegetable pests in Australia
Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-28, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Habitat management is an ecologically based approach to suppress pest densities, utilising properties of non‐crop vegetation to improve the impact of natural enemies or to directly affect pest behaviour. Research in this approach has escalated dramatically this century, extending to uptake in some crops, but adoption in Australia has been ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 Body size is a standard criterion of quality control in insect rearing and often assumed to correlate with fitness in parasitoid wasps, but various metrics of body size can be used.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.

European Journal of Entomology, 2005 We examined the influence of offspring mortality caused by hyperparasitism on the secondary sex ratio of Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer, a solitary endoparasitoid of the aphid Metopeurum fuscoviride Stroyan, in the field. Females of L.
