Nectar‐inhabiting bacteria differently affect the longevity of co‐occurring egg parasitoid species by modifying nectar chemistry

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 186, Issue 2, Page 204-215, March 2025.
Floral nectar is a sugar‐rich resource which is essential for covering the energetic and nutritional requirements of adult parasitoids. Recent research has shown that floral nectar is ubiquitously colonized by microbes, however how nectar‐inhabiting microbes affect parasitoid performance is poorly investigated.

Effective aphid management in greenhouse crops by optimizing biological control and nutrient inputs: Progress report [PDF]

, 2016
NYS IPM Type: Project ReportNYS greenhouse growers have reported that aphids are among their greatest pest problems. They are seeking biological control alternatives in part to increasing public pressure to stop using neonicotinoids, the most commonly ...

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1897-1910, March 2025.
Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...

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.

Host aphid immunosuppression by Aphidius ervi venom

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata
AbstractThe host immunosuppression by parasitic wasps is an important component of the host regulation strategy. The venom injected at the oviposition is one of the key‐factors involved in this host alteration and, in some parasitoids, its immunosuppressive role is complemented by wasp's symbionts.

Improvement in the cold storage of Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae)

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES, 2011
Biological control is beginning to be more commonly used, especially in greenhouses. The inundatory release of insects, especially parasitoids, requires a thorough knowledge of their biology and of mass-rearing techniques. Moreover, to synchronize releases with host presence, the parasitoids have to be kept in cold storage.

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 ...

The foraging behavior of Diaeretiella rapae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on Diuraphis noxia (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [PDF]

, 2011
Host stage preference, functional response and mutual interference of Diaeretiella rapae (McIntosh) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) on Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) were investigated under defined laboratory conditions (20±1°
