Entomologia 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
Journal 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

Scanning Electron Microscopy of Antennae of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) [PDF]
, 2008 The morphology of antennae of Aphidoletes aphidimyza was observed with a scanning electron microscope. The results showed that both male and female were fourteen segmented, the male was approximately 2000μm and the female was 1050 μm.

Just Hang On: Australian Gall Midges Suspend Themselves on Spider Silk Without Becoming Entangled
Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2025.Silk is a versatile biological material for its producers yet also introduces novel resources into the environment that non‐silk producers can exploit. We provide observations of Australian gall midges (Cecidomyiidae) exploiting spider silk as roosting sites by intentionally suspending themselves on silk lines using their front pair of legs.

Biological ControlCold storage of Aphidoletes aphidimyza pupae improves pest management. However, its effects on the larvae remain unclear. Thus, this study examined the impact of cold treatment at 5 °C for 5, 10, and 15 days on A. aphidimyza larvae.

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction The use of pesticides in agriculture is crucial for crop protection although it potentially poses risks to the environment and human health. This has led to European Union initiatives to reduce chemical pesticide inputs which has driven innovation for more environmentally sustainable solutions.
