Evidence of Cannibalism in Macrolophus pygmaeus, a Natural Enemy of Whiteflies
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2013 Cannibalism and the effects of host plant, sex, time and food resources on its expression were studied for the zoophagous mirid Macrolophus pygmaeus Wagner (Hemiptera: Miridae). Cannibalistic behaviour was studied by offering 5 conspecific larvae (first instar) to newly emerging adults. Four treatments were studied: without water, with water only, with

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2016 The electroantennogram responses (EAGs) of Macrolophus melanotoma and Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) exposed to volatile compounds (VOCs) of host and non-host plants were compared. The VOCs were identified by gas chromatography. Hosts and non-hosts eliciting similar EAGs were tested in olfactory assays against plants without a significant ...

Preference and prey switching in a generalist predator attacking local and invasive alien pests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Invasive pest species may strongly affect biotic interactions in agro-ecosystems. The ability of generalist predators to prey on new invasive pests may result in drastic changes in the population dynamics of local pest species owing to predator-mediated ...
