Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Hairy Roadblock: Stem Trichomes Impede Herbivore Movement in a Species and Instar‐Dependent Manner

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants have evolved to deploy a vast set of defence mechanisms against insect herbivores, including physical barriers like leaf trichomes with pre and post ingestive effects. Yet, the role of stem trichomes in plant‐herbivore interactions, particularly mobility dynamics, is poorly understood.

Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

Assessment of Small‐Scale Laboratory Rearing Systems for Frankliniella occidentalis (Western Flower Thrips) Using a Single Female

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable laboratory rearing of Frankliniella occidentalis is critical for experimental consistency in entomological research. This study validates and optimises three small‐scale rearing systems initiated from a single female thrips using various organic fruits, flowers and pollen as feed, along with moist cotton, blotting paper and ...
