Non-lethal effects of entomopathogenic nematode infection
Scientific Reports, 2021 Entomopathogenic nematodes are typically considered lethal parasites of insect hosts. Indeed they are employed as such for biological control of insect pests.

The role of natural enemy foraging guilds in controlling cereal aphids in Michigan wheat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Insect natural enemies (predators and parasitoids) provide important ecosystem services by suppressing populations of insect pests in many agricultural crops.

Insects, 2022 The development of artificial diets could considerably simplify and reduce the cost of mass rearing of natural enemies compared to conventional rearing methods. However, improvement of artificial diets can be tedious, convoluted and often uncertain.

Pest control of aphids depends on landscape complexity and natural enemy interactions [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Aphids are a major concern in agricultural crops worldwide, and control by natural enemies is an essential component of the ecological intensification of agriculture.

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 The natural enemies hypothesis predicts that the abundance and diversity of antagonists such as predators and parasitoids of herbivores increases with the diversity of plants, which can lead to more effective top-down control of insect herbivores ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A stereoselective functionalization method of cyclic imines under mild organocatalytic conditions was developed. Bifunctional cinchona alkaloid catalysts combined with carefully optimized reaction conditions to suppress background reactivity enabled highly enantio‐ and diastereoselective addition reactions of malonates to cyclic imines.

Testosterone maintains male longevity and female reproduction in Chrysopa pallens
HeliyonVertebrate testosterone, an androgen present in the testes, is essential for male fertility. Vertebrate-type steroid hormones have been identified in insects, but their function remains unknown.

Enemy escape: A general phenomenon in a fragmented literature?
FACETS, 2017 Many populations are thought to be regulated, in part, by their natural enemies. If so, disruption of this regulation should allow rapid population growth.
