The Use of UAS to Release the Egg Parasitoid Trichogramma spp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) Against an Agricultural and a Forest Pest in Canada. [PDF]
J Econ Entomol, 2021 The egg parasitoid Trichogramma spp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is a widely used biocontrol agent against lepidopteran pests. Historically, Trichogramma were deployed either by plane or by using cardboard cards on which parasitized eggs are glued ...

First Detection of the Adventive Egg Parasitoid of Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Trissolcus mitsukurii (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) in France. [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary The invasive brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys, is a polyphagous species and a serious pest worldwide. Classical biological control (CBC), i.e., the introduction of a natural enemy from the native area of the pest, is ...

An Egg Parasitoid Efficiently Exploits Cues From a Coevolved Host But Not Those From a Novel Host
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Egg parasitoids have evolved adaptations to exploit host-associated cues, especially oviposition-induced plant volatiles and odors of gravid females, when foraging for hosts.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Insect parasitoids are under selection pressure to optimize their host location strategy in order to maximize fitness. In parasitoid species that develop on host eggs, one of these strategies consists in the exploitation of oviposition-induced plant ...

Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.

Influence of egg traits on parasitism by Trichogramma chilonis Ishii, 1941 and Telenomus remus Nixon, 1937 against Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) [PDF]
Frontiers in Insect ScienceTrichogramma chilonis Ishii, 1941 and Telenomus remus Nixon, 1937 are the most common egg parasitoids of fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) in maize growing areas.

The remarkable biology of a new species of Gelis Thunberg, 1827 (Ichneumonidae, Phygadeuontinae), a solitary endoparasitoid of fresh eggs of Timarcha (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021 A new species, Gelis timarchae Schwarz, Shaw & Kan, is figured and described from specimens reared as a solitary endoparasitoid of fresh eggs of Timarcha nicaeensis in the south of France.

Insects, 2022 The mass rearing of hymenopteran egg parasitoids requires an abundant supply of host eggs. The onset of reproductive diapause and subsequent decline in egg production poses a challenge for parasitoid rearing when using host colonies augmented by field ...
