Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.

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.

Interactions between Plutella xylostella, Diadegma semiclausum and some generalist predators of brassica crops. [PDF]

, 2011
While much is known about the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Plutellidae) (DBM), the most important pest of brassica crops worldwide, there is little understanding about the dynamics of predatory invertebrates in brassica systems.

A Fly in the Ointment? Non‐Target Fly Pest Benefits From Reduction in Ivermectin During Targeted Selective Treatment

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Targeted Selective Treatment (TST) can reduce the rate of resistance development in livestock gastrointestinal nematodes but can also reduce the effects of anthelmintics on non‐target organisms. Most studies of non‐target anthelmintic effects focus on beneficial species.

Comparative Study of Laboratory Diets for Piophila casei: Beneficial Effects of Infant Formula Supplementation

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The infant formula‐based diet (F), the whole powder milk diet (P), and dry‐cured ham (H) were evaluated for rearing Piophila casei. H accelerated development, promoted earlier reproduction, and achieved the highest demographic performance but showed practical limitations linked to substrate deterioration. F enhanced larval survival and adult longevity,

Rearing Istocheta aldrichi (Diptera: Tachinidae) From Field‐Collected Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica): 1. Methods to Improve Insect Collection and Parasitoid Pupariation

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We describe methods for collecting and rearing the tachinid parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi from parasitized Japanese beetle adults. Hosts can be collected by hand and reared in the laboratory, or by using modified trap containers with added plant material and substrate to provide suitable conditions for I.

Rearing Istocheta aldrichi (Diptera: Tachinidae) From Field‐Collected Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica): 2. Methods to Improve Overwintering, Adult Emergence and Longevity

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Successful rearing of Istocheta aldrichi, a tachinid parasitoid of invasive Japanese beetle, depended on conditions before, during, and after overwintering. Longer cold exposure increased adult emergence and accelerated post‐diapause development. Early transfer of puparia to cool conditions improved survival, while spring temperature manipulation ...
