Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

An endoparasitoid avoids hyperparasitism by manipulating immobile host herbivore to modify host plant morphology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many parasitic organisms have an ability to manipulate their hosts to increase their own fitness. In parasitoids, behavioral changes of mobile hosts to avoid or protect against predation and hyperparasitism have been intensively studied, but host ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) production remains central to global food security, particularly across Asia, where both wetland and upland cultivation systems dominate. These agroecosystems face distinct ecological and agronomic constraints that threaten sustainable intensification.

Identification of gall midge resistant parental lines and validation of fertility restoration linked markers for hybrid rice technology [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2014 The success of hybrid rice technology depends on the extent of heterosis realized, pest resistance and the grain quality of rice. To identify gall midge resistant, non aromatic maintainers and restorers, 114 germplasm lines were crossed with six CMS ...

Hymenopteran parasitoids reared from European gall midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalWe report the results of investigations 2010 through 2023 of hymenopteran parasitoids associated with gall midges in Europe. A total of 242 collections of gall midges were made, from each of which one to several parasitoid species emerged, resulting in ...

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.Ant presence was associated with lower gall density on Macaranga beccariana, whereas trees lacking ant defense had more galls and showed different parasitism patterns. Results from this natural experiment suggest that plant‐ants may indirectly influence gall midges through their effects on multitrophic interactions.

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1663-1674, August 2026.Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Obolodiplosis robiniae (Haldeman) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae): A new invasive insect pest on black locust in Serbia [PDF]
Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2008 Locust gall midge Obolodiplosis robiniae (Haldeman) originates from Pennsylvania, USA. It was introduced to Europe in 2003, to Italy, Veneto. Its spreading was very fast and in the following year it was identified from the Check Republic and Slovenia. In

More diverse temperate forests are more resistant against non‐native insect herbivores
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.Promoting mixed forests could be an effective strategy to attenuate the impact of invasion by non‐native forest pests. Abstract In general, trees suffer less damage by insect herbivores when growing in forest mixtures than in tree monocultures. Yet, most current knowledge is based on responses of native herbivores to tree diversity.
