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

Arthropods Associated With Purple Loosestrife in Illinois Wetlands [PDF]
We estimated and described the arthropod fauna on purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) plants in northeastern Illinois wetlands. A total of 1063 individual arthropods were collected—930 insects and 133 arachnids.

Abstract Genetically modified cotton T304‐40 × GHB119 × COT102 was developed by crossing to combine three single events: T304‐40, GHB119 and COT102. The three‐event stack cotton expresses Cry1Ab, Cry2Ae, Vip3Aa19 and PAT/bar to confer herbicide tolerance and insect resistance.

Pollen resources used by Chrysoperla agilis (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) in the Azores, Portugal
There are approximately 1200 described species of Chrysopidae, many of which are predators of agricultural pests. Species of Chrysoperla are mass-produced and sold for use as biological control agents of agricultural pests in Europe, Asia, North and ...

Beneficial management practices to stabilize Canadian wheat yield in a changing climate
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) remains a major staple crop, which is vulnerable to abiotic and biotic stresses that can be compounded by climate change. This review assesses the projected effects of climate change on wheat production globally with an emphasis on the Canadian Prairies.

Seasonal adaptations of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
Seasonal adaptations of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and their role in the control of aphid populations are discussed. The chrysopids of temperate zones face seasonal changes and must escape cyclic adversity.

Semi‐tillage, a widely used agricultural method to improve water availability and minimise soil erosion in crops, may compromise pest control in olive groves. Stable isotopes (N15 and C13) analysis showed an effect of semi‐tillage in the composition of the basal resources of potential natural enemies in the three olive grove strata: These changes may ...

The predatory lacewing Dichochrysa prasina Burmeister can feed and reproduce on various aphid species. However, other species such as the two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch may serve as an alternative prey for this predator in the field in ...
