Host-instar selection in the aphid parasitoid Monoctonus paulensis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae): a preference for small pea aphids [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2000 Monoctonus paulensis is a solitary parasitoid of several species of aphids, including the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. We evaluated host-instar selection by comparing the parasitoid's preference for the four nymphal instars of the pea aphid, presented

Impact of Short-Term High Temperature on <i>Microplitis manilae</i> (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) Survival, Fecundity and Progeny Development. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study reveals the effects of short‐term high‐temperature stress on the survival, reproduction, and progeny development of M. manilae. It provides a theoretical basis for understanding the biological evolution mechanism of M. manilae in response to thermal stress and the biological control of pests by M.

Estimation of the competitiveness of Ephedrus plagiator in relation to other parasitoids from the subfamily Aphidiinae [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2020 The parasitoid species Ephedrus plagiator (Nees, 1811) (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae) is one of the most important biological agents against pest aphids. We investigated whether this species was in competition with some other aphidiine species for the same ...
