The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

The influence of aphid parasitoids on the development of their hosts
Changes in wing development and development through the stadia of Aphis fabae are examined after parasitisation by Aphidius colemani along with the underlying mechanisms. Parasitoid oviposition into nymphs of winged gynoparae of A.
