Biology, life table parameters, and functional response of Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) on different stages of invasive Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2021
Studies on the biology, life table parameters, and functional response of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea, were carried out on papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus, under laboratory conditions.

Farmers’ Preferences for Sustainable Crop Protection: An Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes farmers' preferences for sustainable crop protection, focusing on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices by incorporating social‐psychological factors to capture economic and behavioral dimensions. Using data from German and Polish potato farmers, we apply an integrated choice and latent variable framework that combines

Quantifying biodiversity in ecosystems with green lacewing assemblages

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2005
Green lacewings are pertinent bio-indicators of an ecosystem's health. An example for detecting temporal changes in crop field biodiversity over a short period by sampling chrysopids is given. Light-trapping collections over ten years near Bucharest (Romania) implied changes in the species assemblages.

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, EarlyView.
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.

The complex of the pale green lacewing Chrysopa pallens (Rambur, 1838) sensu lato (Neuropterida, Chrysopidae)

, 2017
The outline of the male distal abdominal sternites and of the claws of the green lacewing Chrysopa pallens (Rambur, 1838) were compared to that of the sibling species C. gibeauxi (Leraut, 1989). In addition, a possible synonymy of C.

Intraguild predation of green lacewing larvae (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) on spider eggs and spiderlings

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2018
The Green Lacewing Mallada desjardinsi (Navas) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is the common chrysopid in tea plantations of the Anamallais (southern India).

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

Insect 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 soil-carrying lacewing larva in Early Cretaceous Lebanese amber [PDF]

, 2018
Diverse organisms protect and camouflage themselves using varied materials from their environment. This adaptation and associated behaviours (debris-carrying) are well known in modern green lacewing larvae (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), mostly due to the ...

Annual flower strips under the ‘Sweden Blossom’ initiative – how do they perform for pollinators, natural enemies and herbivores?

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Pollinator‐targeted annual flower strips increase abundances of pollinators but also natural enemies and herbivores. Natural enemies and herbivores disperse in a taxon‐specific manner into nearby crops. Pest control by ground‐dwellers slightly increases in crop areas near the flower strips.

Genetics, cross-resistance and realized heritability of resistance to acetamiprid in generalist predator, Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
The common green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) has a remarkable role in biological control programs being used to control insect pests of economic significance. This study aimed to investigate the potential of C.
