Comparative Toxicity of Some Pesticides to Tetranychus urticae Koch and two Phytoseiid Mites [PDF]
The toxicity of nine insecticides (carbosulfan, chlorepyrifos ethyl, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, deltamethrin + dimethoate, dimethoate,diflubenzuron, and teflubenzuron), and six fungicides (carbendazim, chlorothalonil, difenoconazole, hexaconazole ...

Hibernation of predatory arthropods in semi-natural habitats.
Non-crop habitats provide important resources for natural enemies. Many natural enemies hibernate in non-crop habitats, from which they may colonise arable fields in the spring.

Smelling the wood from the trees: non-linear parasitoid responses to volatile attractants produced by wild and cultivated cabbage [PDF]
Despite a large number of studies on herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), little is known about which specific compounds are used by natural enemies to locate prey- or host- infested plants.

The distribution of covert microbial natural enemies of a globally invasive crop pest, fall armyworm, in Africa: enemy-release and spillover events [PDF]
1. Invasive species pose a significant threat to biodiversity and agriculture worldwide. Natural enemies play an important part in controlling pest populations, yet we understand very little about the presence and prevalence of natural enemies during the

Generalist predators disrupt parasitoid aphid control by direct and coincidental intraguild predation [PDF]
Generalist predators and parasitoids are considered to be important regulators of aphids. The former not only feed on these pests, but might also consume parasitoids at all stages of development.

The concept of ‘‘enemy-free space’’ (EFS) refers to ways of living that reduce or eliminate the vulnerability of a species to natural enemies. It has been invoked to explain host shifts of phytophagous insects.

The gut microbiota of honeybees is highly diverse at the strain level and essential to the proper function and development of the host. Interactions between the host and its gut microbiota, such as specific microbes regulating the innate immune system ...

Natural enemies of herbivores maintain their biological control potential under short-term exposure to future CO2, temperature, and precipitation patterns [PDF]
Climate change will profoundly alter the physiology and ecology of plants, insect herbivores, and their natural enemies, resulting in strong effects on multitrophic interactions.

Toxicity of Seven Acaricides to Teranychid and Phytoseiid Mites in Apple Orchards and Under Laboratory Conditions [PDF]
The toxicity of seven acaricides (abamectin, amitraz, azocyclotin, fenbutatin oxide, propargite, pyrimidifin and spirodiclofen) to Tetranychus urticae Koch, Panonychus ulmi Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) and the predatory phytoseiid mites (Neoseiulus
