A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles. [PDF]
Insect SciAphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Complex landscapes, complex diets: DNA metabarcoding reveals lady beetle prey richness increases with landcover diversity. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Understanding the capacity of mobile organisms such as insects to utilize resources across different patches in a landscape can reveal strategies for their conservation. Past research suggests that higher levels of non‐crop habitat or landcover diversity in agricultural regions typically benefit generalist predators who can fortify their diets

Forgotten natural enemies: Interactions between coccinellids and insect-parasitic fungi
European Journal of Entomology, 2008 The role of predators and parasitoids in the regulation of insect populations is widely reported in the context of both pest and non-pest insects. However, this is not the case for pathogens (entomopathogens).

Emerging experimental and bioinformatic approaches in RNA interference-based pest control research. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolDouble‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) visualization, RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC)‐bound sRNA‐seq and RNA degradomics allow investigating dsRNA uptake and processing, guide small interfering RNA selection and RISC‐mediated target mRNA cleavages. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of genome‐wide responses to dsRNA, including off‐target and compensatory ...

Thermal requirements for development and resource partitioning in aphidophagous guilds
European Journal of Entomology, 2005 The duration of the increase, peak and decline in abundance of the immature stages of sycamore and cereal aphids each year is ephemeral. These temporary resources are exploited by a sequence of aphidophagous insect predators. The temporal sequence in the

THE COCCINELLID GENUS SMILIA, WEISE [PDF]
The Canadian Entomologist, 1903 The small Coccinellidæ commonly known as Smilia are among the more important natural enemies of the Coccidæ. The name Smilia properly belongs to a well-known genus of Homoptera, so in Science Gossip, 1900 p. 606, I proposed to call the Coccinellid genus Epismilia.
