Selective leaf surface defenses: trichomes trap herbivorous leafminers but spare parasitoid wasps. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciHooked trichomes on kidney bean leaves selectively entrap leafminer flies but rarely affect parasitoid wasps. This morphological barrier enables pest suppression with minimal impact on beneficial insects, offering insights for breeding pest‐resistant cultivars compatible with biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND Leafminers [e.g., Liriomyza trifolii (

Temperature-Dependent Population Model of Apple Leafminer, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae). [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem PhysiolThe temperature‐dependent population model of P. ringoniella was constructed. ABSTRACT The Asiatic apple leafminer, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Matsumura), is a significant secondary pest of apple trees in Northeast Asia. To better understand its population dynamics, a population model based on temperature‐developmental relationships was constructed ...
