Tree hollow parameters and their effects on saproxylic arthropod diversity: A multi‐taxon approach
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Tree hollows are keystone structures for biodiversity in forests and support saproxylic arthropods but are declining in central Europe due to intensive forest management, threatening these invertebrate communities. Research using DNA metabarcoding examined non‐beetle arthropods in 40 beech tree hollows, exploring their habitat requirements in southern ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2010 The host recognition and acceptance behaviour of two braconid larval parasitoids (Cotesia sesamiae and C. flavipes) were studied using natural stemborer hosts (i.e., the noctuid Busseola fusca for C.

A catalogue of aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) from India [PDF]
, 2011 A catalogue of aphidiine parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) associated with various aphids species occurring in India was compiled. The present catalogue with 125 species under 22 genera has been further reinforced with not only all the ...

Intrinsic competition and its effects on the survival and development of three species of endoparasitoid wasps [PDF]
, 2009 In natural systems, pre-adult stages of some insect herbivores are known to be attacked by several species of parasitoids. Under certain conditions, hosts may be simultaneously parasitized by more than one parasitoid species (= multiparasitism), even ...

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

The evolution of gregariousness in parasitoid wasps [PDF]
, 1998 Data are assembled on the clutch-size strategies adopted by extant species of parasitoid wasp. These data are used to reconstruct the history of clutch-size evolution in the group using a series of plausible evolutionary assumptions.

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
