Influence of Landscape Diversity and Composition on the Parasitism of Cotton Bollworm Eggs in Maize. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We deployed >50,000 Helicoverpa armigera eggs in maize fields to assess the rate of parasitism by Trichogramma chilonis across 33 sites during a three-year span (2012-2014) in northern China. Subsequently, we used a partial least squares (PLS) regression

Parasitism of Cranberry Fruitworm (\u3ci\u3eAcrobasis Vaccinii\u3c/i\u3e; Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by Endemic or Released \u3ci\u3eTrichogramma Pretiosum\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Two levels of commercially-reared Trichogramma pretiosum were released during the oviposition period of the cranberry fruitworm (Aerobasis vaccinii) in eight Massachusetts (U.S.A.) cranberry bog sites. Release levels of 4.8 X 105 T. pretiosum per ha or 1.

Effects of landscape context on herbivory and parasitism at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2003 Local community structure and interactions have been shown to depend partly on landscape context. In this paper we tested the hypothesis that the spatial scale experienced by an organism depends on its trophic level.

microRNAs in parasites and parasite infection [PDF]
RNA Biology, 2013 miRNAs, a subclass of small regulatory RNAs, are present from ancient unicellular protozoans to parasitic helminths and parasitic arthropods. The miRNA-silencing mechanism appears, however, to be absent in a number of protozoan parasites. Protozoan miRNAs and components of their silencing machinery possess features different from other eukaryotes ...
