A comparative study on the functional response of Wolbachia-infected and uninfected forms of the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma brassicae [PDF]
Trichogramma species (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are haplo-diploid egg parasitoids that are frequently used as biological control agents against lepidopteran pests.

Pest categorisation of Oligonychus mangiferus
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the mango red spider mite, Oligonychus mangiferus (Rahman and Sapra, 1940) (Acari: Prostigmata: Tetranychidae), for the territory of the EU. This species is not included in the EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072.

The proportion of females increased as temperature increased and decreased as temperature decreased. Preoviposition period, oviposition period, fecundity and adult longevity, and egg hatchability rate were reduced significantly with increasing temperature. Abstract Temperature strongly affects insect biological response.

Diversity of Modes of Reproduction and Sex Determination Systems in Invertebrates, and the Putative Contribution of Genetic Conflict. [PDF]
About eight million animal species are estimated to live on Earth, and all except those belonging to one subphylum are invertebrates. Invertebrates are incredibly diverse in their morphologies, life histories, and in the range of the ecological niches ...

Parthenogenesis in scorpions: some history - new data
Parthenogenesis, a rare phenomenon in Chelicerates, apart from mites, is reviewed in scorpions, notably Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello from Brazil, Tityus columbianus (Thorell) from Colombia and Tityus metuendus Pocock from Peru and Brazil.

First record of Pteromalus varians (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) parasitizing on Tischeria ekebladella (Lepidoptera: Tischeriidae) in Hungary [PDF]
Pteromalus varians (Spinola, 1808) is fi rstly recorded from Quercus leaves, mined by the trumpet leafminer moth Tischeria ekebladella (Bjerkander, 1795) in forests near Budapest, Hungary. A total of 392 parasitoids were reared in laboratory conditions,
