Do interactions between plant roots and the rhizosphere affect parasitoid behaviour? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Multitrophic interactions are powerful forces shaping the structure of living communities. Plants encounter a great diversity of organisms in their environment: some of these interactions are beneficial (e.g. symbiotic fungi and insect pollinators) while

Fast‐tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for

Adaptive preferential selection of female coccinellid hosts by the parasitoid wasp Dinocampus coccinellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Females of the parasitoid wasp Dinocampus coccinellae are known to parasitise both male and female coccinellid hosts. It is suggested that female hosts provide more resources for developing wasp larvae because they tend to be larger than male hosts, and ...

Simultaneous Parasitism of Field-Collected Green Cloverworm, \u3ci\u3eHypena Scabra\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae by Endoparasitioids and an Entomopathogenic Fungus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The impacts of entomopathogens (e.g., fungi, bacteria, protists and viruses) on larval Lepidoptera and their associated insect parasitoids have been examined in laboratory studies but field studies of interaction between these two mortality factors are ...

Impact of Short‐Term High Temperature on Microplitis manilae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) Survival, Fecundity and Progeny Development

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This 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.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

Life history of the butterfly Phoebis argante (Fabricius, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), an inhabitant of the dry forest of western Andes

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología
This study describes the immature stages, host plant, and interactions with parasitoid wasps of the butterfly Phoebis argante, a very widely distributed species, commonly found in the dry forest ecotone of the western Andes in Azuay province, Ecuador ...

Pauesia silana Tremblay, 1969 a parasitoid of Cinara-aphids on Conifers in Malta (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Pauesia silana is recorded for the first time from Malta and the Lefkada and Meganissi islands in Greece. From Malta, the species was reared from Cinara palaestinensis on Pinus halepensis from material collected from Buskett.
