Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciOrius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Ecological and Phylogenetic Relationships Shape the Peripheral Olfactory Systems of Highly Specialized Gall Midges (Cecidomiiydae). [PDF]
Front Physiol, 2018 Insects use sensitive olfactory systems to detect relevant host volatiles and avoid un-suitable hosts in a complex environmental odor landscape. Insects with short lifespans, such as gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), are under strong selection ...

Biological control is more than enemy and prey [PDF]
, 2011 Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1580-1593, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Biological control (biocontrol) of crop pests is a sustainable alternative to the use of biodiversity and organismal health‐harming chemical pesticides. Aphids can be biologically controlled with parasitoid wasps; however, variable results of parasitoid‐based aphid biocontrol in greenhouses are reported. Aphids may display genetically encoded (

Sexual dimorphism and sex pheromone detection in Aphidoletes aphidimyza
Animal Biology, 2020 Abstract Sexual dimorphism, particularly at the level of sensory and locomotor organs, is usually attributed to sexual selection. Antennae are notably developed in males of species that need to detect a sex pheromone at low concentration or at long distance. In addition to their role in intrasexual selection, antennae can be seen as important ornaments

Insect industrialization and prospect in commerce: A case of China
Entomological Research, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 178-194, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Insects are the largest biological group on the earth, characterized by high biodiversity, easy rearing, and large populations. The utilization of insects in China has a long history and some insect species have contributed to the formation of characteristic industries.

Prospects for habitat management to suppress vegetable pests in Australia
Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-28, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Habitat management is an ecologically based approach to suppress pest densities, utilising properties of non‐crop vegetation to improve the impact of natural enemies or to directly affect pest behaviour. Research in this approach has escalated dramatically this century, extending to uptake in some crops, but adoption in Australia has been ...
