Host plant-specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana-colonized plants initiate trophic plant-aphid-predator cascades. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Seasonal Variation of Butterfly Diversity in Subtropical Urban Forests of Nepal. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Butterflies show seasonal fluctuations in diversity and population in response to bioclimatic factors. Studying butterflies in three urban forests in the subtropical region of Nepal, we found that the diversity and community composition differed significantly across seasons, with richness and diversity peaking during the monsoon and abundance peaking ...

Semiochemicals and habitat manipulation to support green lacewing activity to reduce aphid infestations in agroecosystems [PDF]

, 2021
Conservation biological control (CBC) is a promising tool for ecological intensification that aims to establish resilient natural enemy populations that contribute to pest management with reduced use of pesticides and at the same time support native ...

Recruiting on the Spot: A Biodegradable Formulation for Lacewings to Trigger Biological Control of Aphids

Insects, 2019
Upon herbivory, plants release herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), which induce chemical defenses in the plant as well as recruit natural enemies.

Sequence Identification, Recombinant Production, and Analysis of the Self-Assembly of Egg Stalk Silk Proteins from Lacewing Chrysoperla carnea

Biomolecules, 2017
Egg stalk silks of the common green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea likely comprise at least three different silk proteins. Based on the natural spinning process, it was hypothesized that these proteins self-assemble without shear stress, as adult lacewings ...

Modeling of the effect of temperature on developmental rate of common green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
Background The common green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is a polyphagous and efficient predatory species commonly found in a wide range of agricultural habitats.
