Induction of reproductive diapause in Hippodamia convergens (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) hinges on prey quality and availability

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
In the High Plains of western Kansas, USA, the convergent lady beetle Hippodamia convergens Guérin completes a spring generation feeding on cereal aphids in winter wheat before leaving fields in large numbers around the time of harvest.

Demographic parameters of Diuraphis noxia (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Hippodamia variegata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) recorded in the context of D. noxia infesting resistant and susceptible cultivars of wheat

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
The Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov), is a serious pest of small grains and can cause losses of about 80% in wheat yields. Chemical control is ineffective against this pest so the combined use of host plant resistance and biological

On the assessment of prey suitability in aphidophagous Coccinellidae [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
Empirical protocols for assessing the suitability of prey for aphidophagous coccinellids are examined and a modified scheme of categorization is presented. It is argued that prey suitability should be assessed independently for larval development and adult reproduction because of potentially divergent nutritional requirements between these life stages.

Preference of two populations of Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for Aphis fabae and Aphis gossypii (Homoptera: Aphididae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
Prey preference of natural enemies is an important parameter used in studies on their efficiency. Feeding preferences of individuals from two populations of Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for the essential prey items ...

Arthropod diversity in peas with normal or reduced waxy bloom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Crop traits can alter economically important interactions between plants, pests, and biological control agents. For example, a reduced waxy bloom on the surface of pea plants alters interactions between pea aphids and their natural enemies. In this study,

A primary survey of aphid species on almond and peach, and natural enemies of Brachycaudus amygdalinus in As-Sweida, Southern Syria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Syria is one of the biggest almond producer country in the world. Few arthropdes that live on almond are consider as pests. Aphids are one of the major pests their.
