Heating up parasitoid–host interactions: High temperature increased mortality of late‐instar braconid larvae and reduced ladybird recovery rate

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

Russian wheat aphids (Diuraphis noxia) in China: Native range expansion or recent introduction? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this study, we explore the population genetics of the Russian wheat aphid (RWA) (Diuraphis noxia), one of the world’s most invasive agricultural pests, in north-western China.

Arabidopsis thaliana—Myzus persicae interaction: shaping the understanding of plant defense against phloem-feeding aphids

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
The phloem provides a unique niche for several organisms. Aphids are a large group of Hemipteran insects that utilize stylets present in their mouthparts to pierce sieve elements and drink large volumes of phloem sap. In addition, many aphids also vector

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Contrasting Roles of Deoxynivalenol and Nivalenol in Host-Mediated Interactions between Fusarium graminearum and Sitobion avenae

open access: yesToxins, 2016
Fusarium graminearum is the predominant causal species of Fusarium head blight in Europe and North America. Different chemotypes of the species exist, each producing a plethora of mycotoxins.

A primary survey of aphid species on almond and peach, and natural enemies of Brachycaudus amygdalinus in As-Sweida, Southern Syria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Syria is one of the biggest almond producer country in the world. Few arthropdes that live on almond are consider as pests. Aphids are one of the major pests their.

Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) aphid parasitoids of Malta : review and key to species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper brings an annotated list of the 16 aphid parasitoids detected up to 2015 in Malta. All the species were reared from identified aphid-plant associations. An illustrated key to the identification of the recorded species from Malta is provided.

An evolutionary perspective on the response‐effect framework

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The response‐effect framework (REF) has provided a foundational approach in functional ecology, using traits to predict how species respond to environmental factors (‘response traits’) and influence ecosystem functioning (‘effect traits’).

Breeding for resistance to insect-transmitted viruses in barley – an emerging challenge due to global warming

open access: yesJournal für Kulturpflanzen, 2009
Due to global warming longer periods of higher temperature in autumn and winter are expected which may result in an increasing importance of insect-transmitted viruses.
