Prediction of Honeydew Contaminations on Cotton Samples by In-Line UV Hyperspectral Imaging
Sensors, 2022 UV hyperspectral imaging (225 nm–410 nm) was used to identify and quantify the honeydew content of real cotton samples. Honeydew contamination causes losses of millions of dollars annually.

Forestry alters foraging efficiency and crop contents of aphid-tending red wood ants, Formica aquilonia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Forest management alters species behaviours, distributions and interactions. To evaluate forestry effects on ant foraging performance, we compared the quality and quantity of honeydew harvested by ants among clear-cuts, middle-aged and mature spruce ...

Honeydew Is a Food Source and a Contact Kairomone for Aphelinus mali
Insects, 2023 Many parasitoids need to feed on sugar sources at the adult stage. Although nectar has been proven to be a source of higher nutritional quality compared to honeydew excreted by phloem feeders, the latter can provide the necessary carbohydrates for ...

Ants affect the infestation levels but not the parasitism of honeydew and non-honeydew producing pests in citrus [PDF]
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2013 AbstractAnts act simultaneously as predators and as hemipteran mutualists, and thereby may affect the composition and population dynamics of a wide arthropod community. We conducted ant-exclusion experiments in order to determine the impact of ants on the infestation levels and parasitism of three of the most important citrus pests of western ...
