Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 10, Page 722-731, October 2023., 2023 We investigated the approach of indirect monitoring of unwinged aphids by yellow sticky trap catches of its flying natural enemy in greenhouses. We assessed the population density of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae), via the foraging activities of Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), in a cucumber crop.

Effect of different diets on the development, mortality, survival, food uptake and fecundity of Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Hemiptera: Miridae) [PDF]
, 2014 Several Miridae (Hemiptera) species have been identified as useful predators for biological control of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). There is interest in determining the effects of different diets

Combined thermal and insecticidal stresses on the generalist predator Macrolophus pygmaeus
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 Ecotoxicological risk assessments of pesticides on non-target arthropods are often carried out under constant and optimal temperature regimes. However, living organisms rarely experience these conditions in real field situations. Understanding the impact of pesticides on non-target beneficial arthropods under temperature stresses is especially ...

Effect of simulated heat waves on the behaviour of two mirid predators
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 7, Page 486-498, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Extreme climatic events, including heat waves with high‐temperature peaks during the day, are expected to occur more often in many parts of the world due to climate change and may exert negative effects on existing biological control strategies.

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2023 Tuta absoluta and Bemisia tabaci are two key worldwide tomato pests. In response to chemical control limits, the use of zoophytophagous mirid predators as biocontrol agents is being increasingly studied and proposed for the management of these pests ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 79, Issue 5, Page 1820-1828, May 2023., 2023 The addition of far‐red light (730 nm) increases population development of spider mite pests on tomato. However, under far‐red light conditions, the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis is still able to adequately suppress spider mite numbers to similar levels as under control light. Abstract BACKGROUND The use of light‐emitting diode (LED) lights in

Effects of Sublethal Concentrations of Insecticides on the Functional Response of Two Mirid Generalist Predators. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The use of agrochemicals particularly pesticides, can hamper the effectiveness of natural enemies, causing disruption in the ecosystem service of biological control.

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2022 Different host plants can affect the performance of herbivores and their natural enemies. The life history of the mirid predator, Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur, was studied after feeding on Tetranychus urticae Koch eggs reared on the solanaceous plants ...

Egg parasitoid exploitation of plant volatiles induced by single or concurrent attack of a zoophytophagous predator and an invasive phytophagous pest [PDF]
, 2019 Zoophytophagous insect predators can induce physiological responses in plants by activating defence signalling pathways, but whether plants can respond to facultative phytophagy by recruiting natural enemies remains to be investigated.
