Factors influencing short‐term parasitoid establishment and efficacy for the biological control of Halyomorpha halys with the samurai wasp Trissolcus japonicus

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 7, Page 2397-2414, July 2023., 2023
High parasitization of Trissolcus japonicus on Halyomorpha halys recorded at release and adventive sites. Both species are favored by the same landscape elements, mediating risk for nontarget species. Abstract BACKGROUND Classical biological control has been identified as the most promising approach to limit the impact of the invasive pest species ...

Can the introduction of companion plants increase biological control services of key pests in organic squash?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 170, Issue 5, Page 402-418, May 2022., 2022
Sweetpotato whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and melon aphids, Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae), jeopardize plant development and transmit viruses in organic squash. As organic growers have limited pest management tactics, a combination of intercropping flowering plants and biological control was evaluated to manage key pests ...

Ecosystem services provided by aculeate wasps

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 4, Page 1645-1675, August 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT The aculeate wasps are one of the most diverse and speciose insect taxa; they are omnipresent across ecosystems and exhibit diverse co‐evolutionary and exploitative associations with other organisms. There is widespread conjecture that aculeate wasps are likely to perform essential ecological and economic services of importance to the health ...

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

The Chrysidoidea Wasps (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) in Conventional Coffee Crops and Agroforestry Systems in Southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020
Agroforestry systems represent the integration of agricultural crops with native vegetation. These systems are of great importance to minimize the agricultural impact in the land through intercropping of these vegetations.
