Larval age-specific searching efficiency of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Dip.: Cecidomyiidae) preying on different densities of Aphis craccivora (Hem.: Aphididae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2013
Searching efficiency (a') (attack rate) and handling time are two major components of natural enemies’ functional response and are usually used to evaluate their effectiveness.

Kinky sex and suicidal mating behaviour in Aphidoletes aphidimyza

, 2003
De galmug Aphidotetes aphidimyza is een heel goede biologisce bestrijder van bladluizen. Het kweken van grote aantallen galmuggen is echter niet eenvoudig, aangezien veel vrouwtjes onvruchtbaar zijn of weinig eieren leggen. Bij toeval werden in 'vieze' kweekkooien met spinnenwebben veel meer galmugnakomelingen gevonden. Bij nader onderzoek bleek dat de

Effects of aphid honeydew sugars on the longevity and fecundity of the aphidophagous gall midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza [PDF]

Biological Control, 2014
Abstract The predatory gall midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza , which is used for augmentative biological control of aphids in greenhouses, uses aphid honeydew as an energy source. Currently, Rhopalosiphum padi on barley plants and Melanaphis sacchari on sorghum plants are used as the banker plant systems for A.

Does monogeny enable gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) to regulate their sex ratio?

European Journal of Entomology, 2012
Monogeny, the production of unisexual broods by individual females, is widely recorded in gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Theoretical models propose that the adjustment of offspring sex ratio by females may pre-dispose the evolution of monogeny in ...

Optimizing insect metabarcoding using replicated mock communities. [PDF]

Methods Ecol Evol, 2023
Abstract Metabarcoding (high‐throughput sequencing of marker gene amplicons) has emerged as a promising and cost‐effective method for characterizing insect community samples. Yet, the methodology varies greatly among studies and its performance has not been systematically evaluated to date.

Reproductive parameters of a new biocontrol agent, Eupeodes americanus (Diptera: Syrphidae) and comparison with the commercialized Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). [PDF]

J Econ Entomol
The American hoverfly Eupeodes americanus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Syrphidae) is an aphidophagous predator during its larval stage and is currently being evaluated for inclusion in biocontrol programs as a new biocontrol agent.

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles. [PDF]

Insect Sci
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Effect of alternative nectar sources and herbivore-induced plant volatiles on the fitness and attraction of Aphidoletes aphidimyza [PDF]

Journal of Pest Science
Abstract Enhancing natural enemy populations in agricultural systems by combining habitat manipulation and herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) offers a promising approach to conservation biological control. The aphidophagous midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza is widely used ...
