Impact of Host and Food Availability on Life‐History Traits in Six Egg Parasitoid Species of the Genus Trichogramma

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study we measured the impact of access to sugar and hosts on the longevity and fecundity of six Trichogramma species: T. cacoeciae, T. chilonis, T. minutum, T. leptoparameron, T. pintoi and T. sibericum. The impact of food differed among species, but there was a general tendency of increased life expectancy and potential fecundity with sugar ...

Edge Effect on the Distribution of the Green Shield Bug Palomena prasina in Hazelnut Orchards, and the Role of Adjacent Habitats in Crop Colonization

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spring–Summer spatial dynamics of Palomena prasina (L.) and potential IPM strategies. ABSTRACT Palomena prasina (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), the green shield bug (GSB), is an important hazelnut pest in Southern Europe. Currently, its control focuses on insecticide spraying during the crop season. We hypothesized that, as for other pentatomid species,

Predation on Artificial Caterpillars Varies With Vertical Stratification but Not Light Gradients in a Sugar Maple Temperate Forest

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Movement and Survival of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Neonate Larvae on Cotton Expressing Bacillus thuringiensis Proteins

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spodoptera litura neonates showed increased movement on Bt‐expressing Bollgard 3 (BG) cotton leaf discs but did not initially avoid it. Survival was higher when larvae could move from BG3 to non‐Bt leaf discs. On whole plants, more larvae dispersed from hatching on BG3 cotton compared to non‐Bt cotton. These findings suggest the larval movement differs

Prey DNA Detection in Lycosid Spiders Is Primarily Influenced by Time Since Feeding and Primer Choice

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Gut content analysis using DNA metabarcoding has improved understanding of predator–prey interactions involving spiders. We tested how starvation before feeding, time since feeding, spider size, and the presence of egg sacs or spiderlings affect prey DNA detection in Lycosidae.
