Local species‐specific effect of trees and shrubs on the incidence of the millet head miner, Heliocheilus albipunctella (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the interactions between crop pests, natural enemies and semi‐natural habitats in agricultural landscapes is crucial for developing ecology‐based pest management in agroecosystems. In the present study, we investigated the local‐scale species‐specific effect of tree and shrub cover and diversity on the incidence and natural pest ...

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 ...

The effect of the quality and size of host aphid species on the biological characteristics of Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
A suitable host provides, at least, the minimum nutritional and physiological conditions for the development of the immature stages of a parasitoid. Host quality may influence the developmental time, mortality rate, longevity and fecundity of parasitoids.

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

A landscape view of cereal aphid parasitoid dynamics reveals sensitivity to farm- and region-scale vegetation structure

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
Functioning of plant-aphid-natural enemy interactions may be associated with the structure and composition of withinfield vegetation, neighborhood fields and field borders, and the regional plant community of cropped and noncropped areas.
