Ecological Interactions Affecting the Efficacy of Aphidius colemani in Greenhouse Crops [PDF]
Insects, 2015 Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary endoparasitoid used for biological control of many economically important pest aphids. Given its widespread use, a vast array of literature on this natural enemy exists.

Studies on the identity of the parasitoids Aphidius colemani and Aphidius transcaspicus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2009 The taxonomic status of the aphid parasitoid Aphidius colemani Viereck has been questioned, especially in regard to Aphidius transcaspicus Telenga (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). The genetic association between A. colemani and A.

Evaluation of the Effect of Fungatol and Gamma-T-ol on the Emergence and Adult Parasitoid Survival of Mummies of Cotton Aphids Parasitized by Aphidius colemani [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Beneficial insects play a major role in controlling pest populations. In sustainable agricultural production systems, control methods compatible with integrated pest management (IPM) are preferred over broad-spectrum pesticides.

Non-consumptive effects stabilize herbivore control over multiple generations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Understanding the factors that influence predator-prey dynamics requires an investigation of oscillations in predator and prey population sizes over time. However, empirical studies are often performed over one or fewer predator generations.

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

The Roles of Space and Food-Web Complexity in Mediating Ecological Recovery. [PDF]
Ecol LettWe investigate how spatial configuration and food‐web complexity influence species recovery during landscape‐scale ecological restoration. We find that while the spatial arrangement of communities affects colonisation of empty patches, it does not impact recovery in already populated patches.
