The semiochemistry of aphids

open access: yesNatural Product Reports, 2013
Chemical signalling between aphids (small insects that suck plant sap) for mating and avoidance of antagonistic organisms, and between aphids and plants for location of hosts or avoidance of unsuitable plants, employs minute levels of small lipophilic ...

Generalist predators disrupt parasitoid aphid control by direct and coincidental intraguild predation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Generalist predators and parasitoids are considered to be important regulators of aphids. The former not only feed on these pests, but might also consume parasitoids at all stages of development.

The effect of within-crop habitat manipulations on the conservation biological control of aphids in field-grown lettuce [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Within-crop habitat manipulations have the potential to increase the biological control of pests in horticultural field crops. Wildflower strips have been shown to increase the abundance of natural enemies, but there is little evidence to date of an ...

Molecular evolution of aphids and their primary ( Buchnera sp.) and secondary endosymbionts: implications for the role of symbiosis in insect evolution.

open access: yes, 2001
Aphids maintain an obligate, endosymbiotic association with Buchnera sp., a bacterium closely related to Escherichia coli. Bacteria are housed in specialized cells of organ-like structures called bacteriomes in the hemocoel of the aphid and are ...

Evaluation of Interactions Among Aphids, Endosymbionts, and Host Plants: A Foresight for the Future [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Insects, the most common and most successful animals on earth, establish long-term and stable ecological relationships with bacteria. Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are an insect group of agri cultural importance that can feed on many herbaceous, shrubs ...
