Plant Domestication Affects the Oviposition Behavior and Performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a Parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Novos parasitoides das pragas do algodoeiro recem identificados no Paraguai [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Main inventories of cotton pests' parasitoids were made in Paraguay by B. Michel and P. Prudent (1987 to 1992). Collections of pests and their natural enemies have been done mainly during field visits of the national cotton program (PIEA) experimental ...

The Distribution and Prevalence of the Alfalfa Blotch Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Illinois [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Surveys were made in 2001 and 2002 to determine the distribution and prevalence of the alfalfa blotch leafminer, Agromyza frontella (Diptera: Agromyzidae), and its primary parasitoids, Dacnusa dryas and Chrysocharis liriomyzae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae ...

Beauveria Bassiana Triggers Soybean Systemic Resistance and Causes Sublethal Effects in Spodoptera frugiperda

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The interaction of soybean plant and the endophytic microorganism Beauveria bassiana was evaluated by inoculating a single trifoliate leaf. The effects of this inoculation on the herbivory, larval development, and life traits of Spodoptera frugiperda were measured.

Cold-storage of Piezodorus guildinii (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) eggs for rearing Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Piezodorus guildinii (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an important soybean pest, and one of its main natural enemies is Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae).

A New Experimental Setup to Study the Olfactory Behaviour of Trichogramma Egg Parasitoids

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We developed an experimental setup to assess odor‐induced egg‐laying behavior in tiny egg‐parasitoid wasps. This Y‐shaped olfactometer, coupled with an AI‐based image‐recognition model, automatically quantifies egg parasitism by Trichogramma wasps. Olfactory‐driven egg‐laying preferences were analyzed using Bayesian inference.

Orchard Management Influences Predation of Halyomorpha halys Eggs

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated predation of eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys on apple trees in conventional, organic, and extensively managed Dutch orchards. Predation exceeded 40% in extensively managed orchards but was only about 10% in conventional and organic ones. We used camera traps to reveal natural enemies that may contribute to H.

Solving the trophic puzzle: Host–parasite associations in Neotropical fig wasps associated with fig trees of section Americanae

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...

Lead bioaccumulation in herbivorous insects and parasitoids reared on plants grown in lead-contaminated soil under field conditions

open access: yesEntomological Communications
We investigated the lead (Pb) bioaccumulation in herbivorous insects and parasitoids on kale plants (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) cultivated in soils experimentally contaminated.
