Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards
To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

Comparison of the biology of Myzus persicae Sulz. resistant and susceptible to dimethoate
SUMMARY Apterous Myzus persicae resistant to dimethoate reproduce for the same length of time as susceptible aphids, but the resistant ones reproduce significantly faster during the first 10 days of adult life (especially during the first 5 days ...

This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

The evolution of insecticide resistance in the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae
The peach–potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) can resist a wide range of insecticides, but until recently (1990) the only mechanism identified was the increased production of carboxylesterases (E4 or FE4), which cause enhanced degradation and ...

Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

Myzus persicae, more commonly known as green peach aphid, is an important pest in agriculture. Each year it causes great losses to agricultural and horticultural plants. It feeds on sap in the phloem, the main transportation route for plant nutrients. It
