Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

, 2004 The role of semiochemicals in mediating intraguild interactions between the seven-spot ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata, and the aphid parasitoid, Aphidius ervi, was investigated. Female parasitoids avoided leaves visited by C.

Cereal aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) in Serbia: Seasonal dynamics and natural enemies
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 During 1989-2006 the number of live aphid, mummies, aphid specialist predators and their parasitoids in cereal fields in Serbia were recorded. S. avenae and M. dirhodum were the most common, both on wheat and rye crops.

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 2427-2441, May 2025.We have assembled a group of scientists that work on different aspects of SCA and hereby submit a comprehensive review of the species and its management, with ideas for future research avenues. We believe this review will be of interest to scientists studying plant–insect interactions, and extension entomologists, among others, who work with the ...

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.

Olfactory conditioning in mate searching by the parasitoidAphidius ervi(Hymenoptera: Braconidae) [PDF]
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2008 AbstractDespite the fact that insect learning capacity has been broadly demonstrated, the role that this process plays during mate searching has been scarcely explored. We studied whether the sexual behaviour of a male parasitic wasp can be conditioned to the odours from two alternative host plant complexes (HPCs) present during its first copulation ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 148-159, May 2025.Abstract The presence of predators can induce non‐consumptive effects on prey that result in subsequent changes to prey behaviour and defence. We investigate the interaction between top‐down non‐consumptive effects of various stages of the predator Coccinella septempunctata L.(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (larvae and adult) and bottom‐up effects of host ...

, 2001 Aphid parasitoids are important biological control agents. The possibility arises that whilst foraging on insect-resistant transgenic plants, they are themselves at risk from direct and indirect effects of the expression of a transgene used to control ...

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.

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 ...
