Chemical Cues in Tritrophic Interaction on Biocontrol of Insect Pest [PDF]
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]
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]
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 ...

Egg parasitoids play an important role in biological control of pest species attacking and killing their hosts at an early stage of their development. During the antagonistic coevolution with their hosts, egg parasitoids have developed a great ability to

Patterns of abundance in the beneficial insects associated with the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) egg masses in selected Philippines cornfields [PDF]
In February 2022, preliminary field surveys were conducted to characterize patterns of abundance in the beneficial insect populations associated with fall armyworm (FAW) egg masses in selected Philippines corn fields.

Intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of a true bug in semi-field and field conditions. [PDF]
Research on interspecific competitive interactions among insect parasitoids has often been characterized by laboratory studies in which host insects are exposed to female parasitoids of different species in various sequences and combinations. In the last

Age and density of eggs of Helicoverpa armigera influence on Trichogramma pretiosum parasitism
This study evaluated the parasitism of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) on eggs of Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) at different ages and densities.

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]
Wasps, 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 ...

Life-history traits in closely related secondary parasitoids sharing the same primary parasitoid host: evolutionary opportunities and constraints [PDF]
Thus far, few studies have compared life-history traits amongst secondary parasitoids attacking and developing in cocoons of their primary parasitoid hosts.

The Significance of Background Odour for an Egg Parasitoid to Detect Plants with Host Eggs [PDF]
Scots pine has been shown to produce a volatile bouquet that attracts egg parasitoids in response to oviposition of the herbivorous sawfly Diprion pini. Previous analyses of headspace volatiles of oviposition-induced pine twigs revealed only quantitative changes; in particular, the sesquiterpene (E)-beta-farnesene was emitted in significantly higher ...
