Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.
Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...

First record of Serangium montazerii (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): A new exotic predator of Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Greece

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 357-363, August 2026.
Abstract The biodiversity of Greek agroecosystems is constantly changing, with the influx of new species reshaping food webs. The present study contributes to the documentation of Greek fauna by reporting, for the first time, the occurrence of the Asian predatory ladybird Serangium montazerii Fürsch (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The species was detected

First record of Erthesina fullo (Thunberg, 1783) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Italy

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 2, Page 338-342, August 2026.
Abstract The yellow‐spotted stink bug, Erthesina fullo (Thunberg) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a highly polyphagous stink bug native to Asia with a well‐documented history of human‐mediated dispersal. In recent years, its invasive range has started to expand into Europe.

Intraspecific Hybridization Improves Performance of the Biological Control Agent Hypena opulenta

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduced species often undergo genetic drift and natural selection, which can reduce genetic diversity and drive differentiation among populations. Intraspecific hybridization, outcrossing among individuals from genetically distinct groups, may counteract these effects by increasing heterozygosity, potentially improving performance. However,

Aboveground and Belowground Insect Herbivory Changes Maize‐Wireworm Interactions via Root Volatile Cues

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5689-5702, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The rhizosphere harbours critical plant‐herbivore interactions often mediated by small lipophilic molecules (SLMs). Despite the agricultural importance of many soil‐dwelling insects, surprisingly little is known about chemically mediated belowground crop‐pest interactions. Root and shoot herbivores can influence these interactions by modifying

EVOLUTION AND MANIPULATION OF PARASITOID EGG LOAD

Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 2009
In proovigenic parasitoids such as Leptopilina boulardi, the female emerges with a limited egg load and no further eggs are produced during its adult life. A female thus runs the risk of exhausting this limited supply of eggs before the end of her life.

Parasitoid-induced host egg abortion: An underappreciated component of biological control services provided by egg parasitoids

Biological Control, 2016
Accurate evaluation of the biological control services provided by insect natural enemies requires a consideration of the full diversity of means by which they can cause reductions in host or prey populations. Here, we discuss the fact that host attacks by egg parasitoids often result in failed parasitoid offspring development, while causing the host ...

Egg Load Evolution in Parasitoids

The American Naturalist, 2000
Parasitic wasps lay their eggs in or on other insects. Allocation of resources to reproduction (eggs) and survival (life span) should maximize reproductive success, but stochasticity in the number of hosts encountered precludes an exact match of allocation with reproductive opportunity.

In Vitro Rearing of Egg Parasitoids

2009
Regardless the success achieved in the rearing of natural or factitious hosts for the mass production of natural enemies, the usual need to rear two different species when producing natural enemies based on in vivo rearing systems stimulated the investigation on their artificial rearing.

Egg Parasitoids in Tobacco Ecosystem

2013
In tobacco ecosystem, the common lepidopteran targets for egg parasitoids include Spodoptera litura, Helicoverpa armigera and Scrobipalpa heliopa. For bio-suppression of S. litura, Trichogramma chilonis was found to be less effective than Telenomus remus. Among the different tobacco types (cultivars), those with higher number of glandular trichomes and
