Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 957-967, August 2026.In the face of environmental contamination to copper, mainly resulting from frequent copper‐based fungicide applications, it is crucial to understand the side effects of these pesticides on non‐target organisms to improve pest management. Trichogramma cordubensis, used as a biological control agent against grape berry moths in vineyards, shows strongly

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

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 822-830, August 2026.This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 933-941, August 2026.Lethal (mortality) and sublethal (fecundity, fertility) effects of the biopesticide Prev‐Am Plus (containing ~6% sweet orange essential oil) were assessed on the tachinid fly Exorista larvarum. Mated females were exposed via contact and oral routes across five concentrations (0.25%–20%) using protocols adapted from Apis mellifera.

Nest boxes as microhabitats supporting diverse arthropod communities
Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 832-837, August 2026.Diverse Micro‐Habitats: Nest boxes supported 3634 arthropods from 82 families, highlighting their significant conservation value as artificial micro‐habitats for diverse invertebrate communities beyond their primary use for birds. Occupancy Boosts Diversity: Occupied nests exhibited significantly higher arthropod richness, abundance and Shannon ...
