Temperature Impacts on Mating and Oviposition of the Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, threatens ash trees in North America and Europe. To assess the role of temperature on EAB reproduction, we reared adults at one of four temperatures (12°C, 15°C, 18°C, and 21°C) and measured reproductive success.

First report of Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background The polyphagous alien invasive pest, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), invaded Africa and has so far spread across the continent, causing devastating impacts on maize production.

Quantifying Species‐ and Community‐Level Predation by Carabids on Pests and Beneficials in Wheat and Beet Fields

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using a model that translates qualitative prey detection data (presence/absence in predator gut contents) into quantitative predation rates, we estimate species‐specific diets of nine carabid species across three cropping contexts (wheat, sugar beet, and fodder beet) for five prey types.

How exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide affects innate and learned close-range foraging behaviour of a classical biological control agent

Biological Control
While foraging in agricultural habitats, natural enemies, such as egg parasitoids, may encounter insecticide residues, which, if not lethal, can alter host location behaviour and learning capacity. Such interference can reduce the potential of biological

Performance of Leptopilina japonica Novković and Kimura (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) Under Fluctuating Temperature and Humidity

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Temperature is an important factor to determine the activity of insects. We tested the performance of the non‐native larval parasitoid Leptopilina japonica (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) under realistic climatic conditions to improve understanding about its ongoing spread and seasonal abundance.

Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.
