Doryctobracon areolatus (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) a parasitoid of early developmental stages of Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera, Tephritidae)

, 2015
Natural parasitism of Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on various development stages of Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) (Diptera: Tephritidae) attacking Spondias mombin L. fruits was studied under field conditions.

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

Functional 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

Comparison of the developmental time of Bracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared on five different lepidopteran host species and its relationship with digestive enzymes

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
Bracon (Habrobracon) hebetor Say is a polyphagous parasitoid of lepidopteran larvae, including those of the family Pyralidae. There are many reports that this parasitoid attacks the larvae of stored product and field crop pests.

Phylogeny of the parasitic wasp subfamily Euphorinae (Braconidae) and evolution of its host preferences

, 2015
The braconid subfamily Euphorinae is a large, cosmopolitan group of endoparasitoid wasps. The majority of species attack adult hosts, a strategy that is rare among parasitic wasps, but there are also many species that attack nymphs and larval stages ...

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Effect of female size on host selection by a koinobiont insect parasitoid (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2009
Body size is a main fitness component of insect parasitoids. We assessed the potential influence of maternal size of the parasitoid wasp Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) on its ability to parasitize the different instars of

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

Insect 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.
