What's my age again? Assessing the impact of stink bug egg mass age on host recognition by egg parasitoids <i>Trissolcus basalis</i> and <i>Trissolcus japonicus</i> (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). [PDF]
Front PhysiolWasps, from the genus Trissolcus, are egg parasitoids that are commonly used in biological control programs targeting stink bugs. They navigate a complex environment, relying on a diverse array of biochemical and ecological cues to locate their hosts ...

Chemical Cues in Tritrophic Interaction on Biocontrol of Insect Pest [PDF]
Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry Research, 2017 Tritrophic interaction among host plant-herbivore-parasitoid involves chemical cues. The infested plant by herbivores has been reacted to produce volatiles which is a cue used by the herbivore parasitoids for host location.

Egg parasitoids of Thaumetopoea pityocampa in the region of Gyumyurdzhinski Snezhnik in Eastern Rhodopes, Bulgaria [PDF]
Silva Balcanica, 2023 The region of Gyumyurdzhinski Snezhnik in the Eastern Rhodopes is the closest in Bulgaria to the Aegean Sea. However, the climate is characterized by specific parameters that are determined by its relief.

Anti-aphrodisiac compounds of male butterflies increase the risk of egg parasitoid attack by inducing plant synomone production [PDF]
, 2009 During mating in many butterfly species, males transfer spermatophores that contain anti-aphrodisiacs to females that repel conspecific males. For example, males of the large cabbage white, Pieris brassicae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), transfer the anti ...
