Enemigos naturales y control biológico

EDIS, 2013
Hay muchos insectos benéficos pero solamente hay algunos que son enemigos naturales de plagas. Los enemigos naturales más comunes de encontrar son: mariquitas/tortolitas, crisopas, antocóridos (Orius), ligaéidos, sírfidos, avispas de agallas, hormigas ...

Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii - enemy release and plant-soil feedbacks. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Understanding key population drivers of the spotted wing Drosophila in cultivated and natural areas in the Andes [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumara) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a serious global pest. Understanding the drivers for its success is fundamental to develop sustainable management tools.

Microbe-induced resistance involves priming of direct or indirect defenses according to the stage of herbivory. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Microbe‐induced resistance (MIR) encompasses a broad range of plant responses that mediate both direct and indirect defenses against herbivores. However, previous studies have addressed MIR in relation to either direct or indirect defenses in isolation, overlooking potential conflicts or synergies that may arise between MIR‐elicited defense ...

Global drivers of the conservation-invasion paradox. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Seasonal and environmental patterns of naturally occurring parasitoids with potential to attack the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii in the Andes [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Landscape complexity shapes insect spatiotemporal population dynamics and trophic interactions. In this context, understanding seasonal and environmental patterns of potential resident natural enemies of novel polyphagous herbivores, such as the globally

Source height and contact with terrestrial soil drive transplanted epiphyte performance

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 11, Page 2388-2400, November 2023., 2023
Tropical vascular epiphytes, such as this orchid Peristeria pendula, performed worse when experimentally transplanted to new substrates in contact with terrestrial soil, versus substrates just above the soil surface. The results are some of the first empirical data supporting the epiphyte enemy escape hypothesis.

Aspectos biológicos y control de un gracilláriido (Gracillariidae: Lepidóptera) en Caesalpinia spinosa (Mol.) Kuntze (1898), en Cajamarca, Perú

Scientia Agropecuaria, 2016
Se tuvo por objetivo determinar aspectos biológicos, identificar enemigos naturales, y establecer periodos oportunos de control de un gracillariido plaga de tara. Los aspectos biológicos y los enemigos naturales se evaluaron

Do prey shape, time of day, and plant trichomes affect the predation rate on plasticine prey in tropical rainforests?

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1259-1269, September 2022., 2022
We used artificial, plasticine prey to assess temporal (day‐ versus nighttime) and spatial (pubescent versus glabrous host plant) variation in predation in two Panamanian rainforests. We compared attacks on caterpillar‐ and humanoid‐shaped figurines to test whether model prey shape is as important for prey recognition by predators as often assumed.
