Capsella bursa-pastoris Is a Key Overwintering Plant for Aphids in the Mediterranean Region [PDF]

Insects, 2021
The reproduction of aphids depends to a great extent on their host plants, an integration that impacts on the successful expansion of overwintering populations.

The Effects of Natural Insecticides on the Green Peach Aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Its Natural Enemies Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (L.) and Aphidius colemani Viereck [PDF]

Insects
Botanical insecticides and soaps are frequently proposed as environmentally safer alternatives to synthetic insecticides. However, the efficacy and selectivity of these products are often only partially supported by empirical evidence.

Feeding specialization shapes the bottom‐up effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi across a plant–aphid–parasitoid system

Plants, People, Planet
Societal Impact Statement Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) impact the relationships between plants, aphids (insects that feed on plant phloem), and their natural enemies (insects that prey on or parasitize aphids).

Aphid parasitism alters induced plant responses allowing a hyperparasitoid to locate its hidden parasitoid host. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary 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 Lett
We 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.

Attraction of <i>Telenomus remus</i> to Egg Volatiles of <i>Spodoptera litura</i> and Oviposition-Induced Plant Volatiles From Tobacco (<i>Nicotiana tabacum</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The parasitoid T. remus was attracted to OIPVs and S. litura egg volatiles. At lower concentrations of 1 and 10 ng/μL the parasitoid showed the highest attraction. The binary combinations of linalool (L) with tetracosane (T) and linalool (L) with cis‐3‐hexenyl acetate (C) strongly attracted the parasitoids.
