Oviposition Site Selection by the Predatory MidgeAphidoletes aphidimyza(Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
Environmental Entomology, 1999Eggs and neonate larvae of the aphidophagous midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani are vulnerable to intraguild predation and starvation. The role of A. aphidimyza females in selecting suitable oviposition sites for offspring survival and development was investigated in the laboratory on potato.

Cold Storage of the Predatory Midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1990Long-term cold storage of a commercial biological control agent for aphids, the predatory midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani), was investigated as a way to reduce rearing costs and to preserve genetically important lines. Prolonged cold storage of last instars in cocoons at temperatures of 1-11 degree C in total darkness was sufficient as an ...

Morphology of putative female sex pheromone glands and mating behaviour in Aphidoletes aphidimyza
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2002AbstractAdult emergence period, sex ratio, female calling behaviour, and the risky mating behaviour of A. aphidimyza in spider webs are described. We provide evidence that A. aphidimyza females produce a sex pheromone and attract males, and we give a description of the location and structure of the supposed pheromone producing glands of A.

Abstract In polytrophic ovarioles of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera : Cecidomyiidae), each follicle consists of a syncytial multinuclear nurse chamber (NC) and an oocyte connected by one cytoplasmic bridge. The number of trophic nuclei (TN) in NC varies from 5 to 14.

Improving aphid biological control with the predator Aphidoletes aphidimyza
2022[ES] El control biológico, por sí solo o como parte de la Gestión Integrada de Plagas (GIP), es un método de control de plagas eficiente y respetuoso ambientalmente. Especialmente en Europa, el control biológico está aumentando en importancia debido a la nueva Regulación sobre el Uso Sostenible de Productos Fitosanitarios, con el objetivo de reducir en

Female Aphidoletes aphidimyza confronts serious challenges from both aphid prey and conspecifics. These challenges constitute strong selective pressures on the predatory midge to have an adaptive oviposition strategy. We did laboratory experiments to investigate clutch size of A.

Diapause larvae of Aphidoletes aphidimyza were stored at a temperature of 3 degrees C under continuous darkness for up to 7 months with survival rates above 50%; after storage for 1 year the survival rate dropped to 12%. Diapause was terminated in the majority of individuals within 120 days of chilling under storage conditions. Brief exposure (10-60 s)

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2012
A solitary endoparasitic species of Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) was reared from pupae of an aphidophagous gall midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), in Japan. The parasitoid was identified as Gastrancistrus fuscicornis Walker, a species that has been recorded from Europe.

Prey Preference of Aphidoletes Aphidimyza on Acyrthosiphon Pisum: Effect of Prey Color and Size
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2014Color polymorphism in insects as well as factors contributing to its occurrence and maintenance have been of a great interest. Pea aphid (A. pisum) exhibits a noteworthy color polymorphism which occurs as red and green. The preference of the predatory gall midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) for the two color morphs of pea aphid at two life stages ...

Plant quality effects on intraguild predation between Orius laevigatus and Aphidoletes aphidimyza
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2010AbstractTo understand the influence of plant quality on intraguild predation and consequently on the suppression of a shared prey population as well as on plant yield, the interactions between Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (shared prey), Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) (intermediate predator), and Orius ...
