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 ...

Beneficial insects move from flowering plants to nearby crops
Marking studies demonstrated that lady beetles, lacewings, syrphid flies and parasitic wasps fed on nectar or pollen provided by borders of flowering plants around farms; many insects moved 250 feet into adjacent field crops.

Diversity and abundance of lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) in Portuguese vineyards
Lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are important predators of harmful arthropods in the vineyards. They are natural limiting agents of leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), grapevine moths (Lepidoptera), mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and ...

Elevational diversity patterns can reflect the responses of biodiversity to climate change spatially. We investigate the species diversity patterns of green lacewings (an important predatory group of insects) along the gradient of elevation from the ...

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.
