Ant–aphid mutualism: the influence of Tapinoma ibericum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphidae) control by commercial and spontaneous natural enemies

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

A novel physiological function of pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide in production of aggregation pheromone

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, is an insect pest, and its aggregation pheromone (AP) plays a crucial role in the recruitment of both sexes.

Characterization of the dynamic microbiome evolution across thrips species

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Comprehensive survey of the microbiome in thrips. The dominant bacterial genera found in thrips include intracellular ones, such as Wolbachia and Spiroplasma, and extracellular ones, including Serratia, Pantoea, and Acinetobacter. We isolated and sequenced high‐quality genomes of two dominant symbionts, Pantoea dispersa and Serratia marcescens.

Haze of glue determines preference of western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) for yellow or blue traps

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In a wind tunnel we compared the colour preference for western flower thrips to four types of colour plates (clear, white, blue and yellow) applied with two types of glue (diffuse Stikem versus clear D41).

Frankliniella Occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Population Dynamics on

open access: yesBulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 2012
Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) is an important crop pest and a vector of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in many areas of the world. Its feeding can cause scarring and deformations on leaves and fruit, with seedlings and soft tissue particularly prone to feeding damage.

Global habitat suitability and invasion risk of melon thrips

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Habitat suitability of Thrips palmi worldwide was predicted using the MaxEnt model. Precipitation of the driest month, precipitation of the wettest month and annual mean temperature were identified as the key climatic drivers influencing its distribution.

Trips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) asociados a cebolla, lechuga, chile dulce y malezas asociadas en El Zamorano, Honduras

open access: yesCiencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria
Thrips (Thysanoptera) constitute one of the most important groups of pest insects in horticultural crops worldwide. In Honduras, knowledge about the species of thrips present in crops and associated plants is scarce.

Temperature and the development rates of thrips: Evidence for a constraint on local adaptation?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2002
Typically, the relationship between insect development and temperature is described by two characteristics: the minimum temperature needed for development to occur (Tmin) and the number of day degrees required (DDR) for the completion of development.

Susceptibility of some new strawberry genotypes to infestation by western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in the nursery

open access: yesAnnals of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Strawberries are infested with Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Egypt. This study evaluated the effects of the biochemical components and leaf surface characteristics of ten new strawberry cultivars (Fortuna, Festival ...

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.
