Improved impact from the use of beneficial natural enemy species in Australian canola systems: challenges and required tools

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
In canola production systems in Australia, practices for the use of beneficials (arthropod predators and parasitoids) as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy, have not been widely adopted. We outline how canola growers and their advisors can be supported with incremental steps, from passive to active management, to help shift them from ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Ant–aphid mutualism: the influence of Tapinoma ibericum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) on Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphidae) control by commercial and spontaneous natural enemies

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Comparing time‐lapse photography and traditional human observation in collecting crop pollinator visitation data Ajastetun valokuvauksen ja perinteisen suoran havainnoinnin vertailu kerättäessä tietoa pölyttäjien kukkakäynneistä viljelykasveilla

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse photography with commercially available trail cameras provides a competitive alternative to direct human observations for documenting pollinator flower visits, but its performance varies between crops. In apple, the cameras recorded more diverse pollinator assemblages than the human observer due to larger temporal coverage of the camera ...

Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.
