Evolution of parasitoid host preference and performance in response to an invasive host acting as evolutionary trap. [PDF]
Invasive species can act as an evolutionary trap for parasitoids when they are unsuitable for reproduction but indistinguishable from suitable hosts. Such incompatible interactions reduce parasitoids’ fitness and can reduce the viability of the population. Using an individual based model, we show how genetic variation in host preference and performance

The potential of the solitary parasitoid <i>Microctonus brassicae</i> for the biological control of the adult cabbage stem flea beetle, <i>Psylliodes chrysocephala</i>. [PDF]
The cabbage stem flea beetle (CSFB), Psylliodes chrysocephala (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a major pest of oilseed rape, Brassica napus (Brassicaceae), within Europe. Following the withdrawal of many broad‐spectrum pesticides, most importantly neonicotinoids, and with increased incidence of pyrethroid resistance, few chemical control options remain,
