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.

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

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae) is a Neotropical native oil palm, increasingly important in Central and South America due to rising demand for raw materials and its potential for bioenergy. Understanding its pollinator ecology is crucial to identify new areas for cultivation. This study examines the structure of floral visitor

European Journal of Entomology, 2009 After leaving their hosts, the larvae of endoparasitic braconid wasps pupate in cocoons. To determine their investment in cocoon silk, the dry weight of newly emerged wasps and that of the empty cocoons were measured for three gregarious braconid species

Development, Survival and Phenology of the Sweetclover Weevil Parasitoid, \u3ci\u3ePygostolus Falcatus\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) [PDF]
, 2018 Biennial sweetclovers were widely used for soil improvement and as for- ages in the first half of the 1900s. The introduction of the sweetclover weevil, Sitona cylindricollis, caused a drastic decline in sweetclover acreage.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Current control of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii relies primarily on insecticides, including the incorporation of phagostimulant baits. The impact of insecticidal bait sprays on beneficial insects in crops is largely unknown. In a laboratory and field trial, we exposed non‐target insects to insecticides with or without bait and compared

First records of the genera Histeromerus Wesmael (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Histeromerinae) and Ecclitura Kokujev (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Euphorinae) in Italy [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2013 Braconid genera Histeromerus Wesmael, 1838 from subfamily Histeromerinae and Ecclitura Kokujev, 1902 from subfamily Euphorinae are recorded in the fauna of Italy for the first time. The discussions about taxonomic position, morphological characters and composition of these genera as well as the redescriptions of the genus and species of Ecclitura ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2005 Phylogenetic relationships of the braconid wasp genus Yelicones Cameron are studied using the D2-D3 region of the nuclear 28S rRNA gene, both alone and simultaneously with morphology. The results support a morphology-based phylogeny, presented elsewhere,
