Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

European 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

European 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 ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1124-1139, September 2026.Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.
