Further contributions to the tritrophic plant-aphid-parasitoid associations in Malta with special reference to Aphis nerii (Hemiptera, Aphidoidea) as a prevalent refugium of Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) [PDF]
Four species of aphid parasitoids, namely Aphidius colemani, Binodoxys angelicae, Lysiphlebus fabarum and Lysiphlebus testaceipes were reared from Aphis nerii on Nerium oleander and/or Stephanotis floribunda in Malta.

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

Integrating Plant Volatile Scents in Sustainable IPM Approaches for Fall Armyworm Control
ABSTRACT Since the invasion of the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) into new regions, studies have oriented toward low‐cost management tools and methods. This study assessed the effects of volatile scents that are naturally emitted by essential oil (EO) plants on the severity of FAW and populations of its natural ...

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 ...

Why is there no impact of the host species on the cold tolerance of a generalist parasitoid? [PDF]
For generalist parasitoids such as those belonging to the Genus Aphidius, the choice of host species can have profound implications for the emerging parasitoid. Host species is known to affect a variety of life history traits.

Abstract Three polyphagous agromyzid leafminers, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), have recently invaded mainland Australia, posing a threat to horticultural crops. Overseas, these species are often effectively controlled by local hymenopteran parasitoids.
