Aestivating M. diploterus has shown an increase in thermal tolerance as it progresses into and through its aestivation cycle (from November to June). Examination of physiological changes for survival was investigated by examining the insects' biochemical compositional changes as well as heat shock protein changes that occur over time.

Biological parameters of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus grandis (Hym.: Scelionidae) on Eurygaster integriceps (Hem.: Scutelleridae) [PDF]
Trissolcus grandis Thomson is a solitary egg parasitoid of Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton. Although widely distributed, it has often been overlooked in field surveys. Our objectives were to develop an efficient rearing technique for T.

Abstract Palomena prasina, the green shield bug (GSB), is widely distributed in the Eurosiberian region. In the Southwest of France, it is considered as a serious pest of hazelnuts, its feeding punctures lead to blank hazelnuts and kernel necrosis, causing heavy losses in commercial orchards. To date, no Integrated Pest Management strategy is available
