Towards an attract‐and‐reward strategy: evaluating nectar resources and HIPVs under laboratory conditions to enhance Aphelinus mali parasitism activity, a key parasitoid of Eriosoma lanigerum

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Euphorbia segetalis is a promising attractant insectary plant for Aphelinus mali. Meanwhile, Vicia faba and Vicia sativa are a promising nectar resource to sustain the parasitoid in early spring when the population of Eriosoma lanigerum is low, and honeydew is scarce.

The end of a myth – Bt (Cry1Ab) maize does not harm green lacewings

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2014
A concern with Bt-transgenic insect-resistant plants is their potential to harm non-target organisms. Early studies reported that Cry1Ab-producing Bt maize and purified Cry1Ab harmed larvae of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea.

Effects of bioinsecticide exposure route on aphids and their natural enemies in oilseed rape

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Fatty acids, silicone polymers and surfactants reduced aphid numbers but caused natural enemy mortality under direct exposure, while minimal residual activity suggests potential for targeted, compatible use in integrated pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Myzus persicae Sulzer and Brevicoryne brassicae L.

Laboratory Evaluation of the Effect of Insecticides on Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), Forficula auricularia (Dermaptera: Forficulidae), Adalia bipunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2020
The effect of 8 biopesticides and 23 synthetic pesticides on the eggs and larvae of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens, 1836), adults of Forficula auricularia Linnaeus, 1758, larvae of Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) and adults of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas,

A New Look at Adaptive Body Coloration and Color Change in "Common Green Lacewings” of the Genus Chrysoperla (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Green lacewings in the genus Chrysoperla are not always green. They can be yellow (autosomal recessive mutant); change from whitish-yellow to green as young adults; or temporarily turn yellowish, reddish, or brown during diapause.

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored‐product beetle

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.
