Impact of humidity on the biological development of aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

open access: yes, 2016
Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rondani (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is one of the most important predators used in the augmentative biological control of aphids worldwide. However, due to its particular life history, mass rearing A. aphidimyza remains difficult. Our

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Interguild antagonism between biological controls : impact of entomopathogenic nematode application on an aphid predator, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera : Cecidomyiidae)

open access: yes, 2004
This study evaluates the potential of the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) Steinernema carpocapsae, Steinernema feltiae, and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora to cause mortality of an aphid predator, Aphidoletes aphidimyza.

Does experimental evolution produce better biological control agents? A critical review of the evidence

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 167, Issue 7, Page 584-597, July 2019., 2019
We review studies that used experimental evolution and/or artificial selection to improve native biocontrol agents and evaluated their success. Most studies focused on improving the performance of natural enemies in ecologically relevant environments, such as in the presence of pesticides or at different temperatures.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 444-453, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

Improving aphid biological control with the predator Aphidoletes aphidimyza

open access: yes, 2022
reservedBiological control, either alone or as part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), is an efficient and environmentally friendly method for pest control. Especially in Europe, biological control is increasingly important due to the new Regulation on
