Infection Patterns and Fitness Effects of Rickettsia and Sodalis Symbionts in the Green Lacewing Chrysoperla carnea

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Endosymbionts are widely distributed in insects and can strongly affect their host ecology. The common green lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea) is a neuropteran insect which is widely used in biological pest control.

Population Dynamics of Greenhouse Thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis) on Avocado Under Single and Combined Predator Releases

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The greenhouse thrips, Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouché, 1833), is an important avocado pest in New Zealand, where repeated infestations reduce leaf quality and tree vigour. To assess biological control stability under different predator assemblages, this study evaluated thrips population dynamics and predator survival across two sequential phases ...

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

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 458-470, August 2026.
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.

Quantifying Species‐ and Community‐Level Predation by Carabids on Pests and Beneficials in Wheat and Beet Fields

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 812-821, August 2026.
Using a model that translates qualitative prey detection data (presence/absence in predator gut contents) into quantitative predation rates, we estimate species‐specific diets of nine carabid species across three cropping contexts (wheat, sugar beet, and fodder beet) for five prey types.

Pollen preference of the Chrysoperla species (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) occurring in the crop environment in western France

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Two species of the Chrysoperla carnea complex: Ch. carnea sensu Henry and Ch. lucasina, occur in the crop environment in western France. Within the framework of a conservation biological control program for protected seed crops, the pollen consumption of

Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 851-862, August 2026.
To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance choline hydrogen phosphonate

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State Belgium for the pesticide active substance choline hydrogen phosphonate and the assessment of an application for maximum residue levels (MRLs) are reported.
