Fine structure of the external sheaths of the ovipositor of Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2018 The function and structure of the ovipositor in Hymenoptera have been studied intensively, although there is a lack of information on the external sheaths.

The influence of genetic variation on pre‐oviposition processes for host‐parasitoid co‐evolution
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-16, February 2025.Co‐evolution between aphid hosts and their parasitoids has been associated with adaptative pressures linked with aphid physiological resistance (related to aphid and their endosymbionts' genetic variation) and parasitoid virulence. The aphid‐parasitoid interaction is composed of multiple previous stages before parasitoid oviposition that has been ...

Searching efficiency and multiparasitism in Aphidius smithi and A. ervi (Hym., Aphidiidae), parasites of pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hom., Aphididae) [PDF]
, 1990 Aphidius smithi and A. ervi were introduced into the United States to control aphid pests of alfalfa. Laboratory experiments showed that A. smithi was more efficient in searching for hosts (i.e., more hosts parasitized) than A.

Facultative endosymbionts of aphids on strawberry crops affect aphid-parasitoid interactions
Biological ControlAphids are major agricultural pests and laboratory studies have shown that heritable bacterial endosymbionts can protect aphids against biocontrol parasitoids, but results from agricultural crop systems are lacking. Here we assess (1) which aphid species

Associative odour learning affects mating behaviour in Aphidius ervi males (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2005 We used the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi reared in its host Acyrthosiphon pisum to examine if male sexual attractive responses can be conditioned to an odour (vanilla) that is not present in the natural environment.

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests
Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6033-6040, December 2024.Interaction between plants and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. Fungal metabolites and induced systemic resistance enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In addition, volatile compounds emitted by the plants colonized by endophytic entomopathogenic fungi play an important role in recruiting natural enemies of insect pests,

, 2012 Aphids remain an enormous threat to the sustainability of crops in glasshouse and field environments around the world. It is known that the aphid sex pheromone is used as a kairomone by its natural enemies, such as parasitoids. The focus of this research

Parasitic wasp responses to symbiont-based defense in aphids
BMC Biology, 2012 Background Recent findings indicate that several insect lineages receive protection against particular natural enemies through infection with heritable symbionts, but little is yet known about whether enemies are able to discriminate and respond to ...
