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.

Annals of Applied Biology, 1974 For most of this century, aphids have been known to infest cereals, but their potential importance does not seem to have been fully appreciated until the early 1950s when they were found to be vectors of barley yellow dwarf virus (Bruehl, 1961). Although this discovery initiated a great deal of research in many countries, especially in North America ...

Low bacterial community diversity in two introduced aphid pests revealed with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Bacterial endosymbionts that produce important phenotypic effects on their hosts are common among plant sap-sucking insects. Aphids have become a model system of insect-symbiont interactions.

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield
Insect Science, EarlyView.Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In contrast, the predator Adalia bipunctata maintains consistent aphid suppression regardless of fertilization regime.

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.

Distribution and diversity of wheat aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) in Iran
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 Eleven species of parasitoids were found to attack 7 species of wheat aphids in Iran. The Simpson's Index of diversity (D) used to compare the aphidiine diversity in various cereal crop systems in geographically different regions of Iran ranged from 0 ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in
