Simultaneous Parasitism of Field-Collected Green Cloverworm, \u3ci\u3eHypena Scabra\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae by Endoparasitioids and an Entomopathogenic Fungus [PDF]
, 2018 The impacts of entomopathogens (e.g., fungi, bacteria, protists and viruses) on larval Lepidoptera and their associated insect parasitoids have been examined in laboratory studies but field studies of interaction between these two mortality factors are ...

Does a shift to a novel host plant create a defence‐free space for a specialist herbivore species?
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While host switches can promote speciation in herbivorous insects, the benefits of switching hosts have only been ascribed to escaping competition and natural enemies. Herbivores might also escape from the defences of their ancestral host if their new host species lacks

Long‐term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.

Field host range of Apanteles opuntiarum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in Argentina, a potential biocontrol agent of Cactoblastis cactorum (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in North America [PDF]
, 2015 Field exploration in Argentina for cactophagous lepidopteran hosts parasitized by the recently described braconid parasitoid Apanteles opuntiarum Martínez & Berta (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) revealed a host range restricted to Cactoblastis cactorum (Berg) (

Apparent competition drives community-wide parasitism rates and changes in host abundance across ecosystem boundaries [PDF]
, 2016 Species have strong indirect effects on others, and predicting these effects is a central challenge in ecology. Prey species sharing an enemy (predator or parasitoid) can be linked by apparent competition, but it is unknown whether this process is strong

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.By quantifying the diet composition of GAPs over crop stages, farm types and years, this study reveals that generalist predators have potential to produce a stable, predictable top‐down effect on pests in rice agro‐ecosystems. Therefore, promoting the field densities of ubiquitous generalist predators will likely enhance pest management and support ...

Parasitoid wasps from three Jamaican localities: A pilot study
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2014 Parasitoid wasps are an extremely speciose, ecologically and economically crucial group of insects. Despite this, they have received disproportionally little attention from scientists, in particular in certain areas of the world.
