Fitness consequences of low temperature storage of Aphidius ervi [PDF]
In biological control programs, storage at low temperatures is used to produce large number of individuals before inundative releases. However, an exposure to low temperatures may affect the survival of exposed individuals and some life history traits such as the daily fecundity or the longevity of the survivors.

Aphid symbionts and endogenous resistance traits mediate competition between rival parasitoids. [PDF]
Insects use endogenous mechanisms and infection with protective symbionts to thwart attacks from natural enemies. Defenses that target specific enemies, however, potentially mediate competition between rivals and thereby impact community composition ...

Learning is involved in the response of parasitic wasps Aphidius ervi (Haliday) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to volatiles from a broad bean plant, Vicia faba (Fabaceae), infested by aphids Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Homoptera: Aphididae) [PDF]
It has been reported that volatiles from broad bean plants, Vicia faba (cv. ‘the Sutton’) infested by the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum, attract a specialist parasitoid Aphidius ervi, collected from populations in England, Italy and Bulgaria, which had ...

Distribution and diversity of wheat aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) in Iran
Eleven species of parasitoids were found to attack 7 species of wheat aphids in Iran. The Simpson's Index of diversity (D) used to compare the aphidiine diversity in various cereal crop systems in geographically different regions of Iran ranged from 0 ...
