Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.To document the current distribution of Leptopilina japonica in France and compare its genetic background, we collected wild fleshy‐fruited plants and cultivated cherries from 11 sites across different regions. The fruits were collected from the canopy. We calculated the percentage of emerging individuals of L.

Environmental Ethics, 2000
Abstract For many who live in modern cities, nature is a haven, a refuge from an urban jungle. The frustrations of the city make it easy to feel nostalgia for a simple life that never was: days spent hiking in the Grand Canyon, nights spent curled up by the fireplace after a hot shower and something nice from the refrigerator.

Abstract Bumblebees are attacked in various stages of their life cycle by a diverse range of predators, parasites and parasitoids. The importance of these organisms is perhaps best illustrated by the vigour of bumblebees when they are freed from their natural enemies.

Natural Enemies--Metaphor or Misconception?
Science, 2003When two northern snakeheads, a carnivorous Asian fish, were discovered with their progeny in a Maryland pond in 2002, the state produced an "unwanted" poster, and biologists publicly declared the fish to be an imminent danger to East Coast aquatic ecosystems.

Agricultural cropping systems consist of patterns of crops and sets of commonly used practices, and these define the conditions under which natural enemies encounter their hosts in these systems. The details of these practices interact with the biologies and needs of natural enemies in many ways. The goal of conservation as a form of biological control

PLANT CHEMISTRY AND NATURAL ENEMY FITNESS: Effects on Herbivore and Natural Enemy Interactions
Annual Review of Entomology, 2006▪ Abstract Tremendous strides have been made regarding our understanding of how host plant chemistry influences the interactions between herbivores and their natural enemies. While most work has focused on plant chemistry effects on host location and acceptance by natural enemies, an increasing number of studies examine negative effects.
