From the predator to the prey: a case study of the vulnerability of Harmonia axyridis to aggressive competitors

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.

Barley yellow dwarf epidemiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) disease is induced by viruses that are vectored by aphids. The viruses infect grasses and cause severe damage on oats, barley and wheat worldwide.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Aphid Infestation and Predator Dynamics in Cultivated Ruta chalepensis: Evidence of Myzus persicae Adaptation and Natural Enemy Responses

open access: yesInsects
Ruta chalepensis (Rutaceae), commonly known as rue, is traditionally recognized for its medicinal applications and cultural associations with mysticism. In addition to its ethnobotanical relevance, R.

Ant–aphid mutualism: the influence of Tapinoma ibericum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphidae) control by commercial and spontaneous natural enemies

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Potato virus Y transmitting aphids in a Finnish seed potato area

open access: yes, 2009
The aphid-transmissible Potato virus Y is a major problem in seed potato production (Valkonen , 2007). The aphid flight activity was monitored from mid-June to the end of August with a suction trap and with yellow pan traps in 2007 and 2008 ...

The distribution of viruses in different leaf tissues and its influence on virus transmission by aphids

open access: yes, 1954
Exposing both surfaces of leaves systemically infected with cabbage black ring spot virus (CBRSV) or henbane mosaic virus to ultra-violet radiation decreases the infectivity of expressed sap to about one-fifth.

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.
