Combining lacewings and parasitoids for biological control of foxglove aphids in sweet pepper [PDF]
, 2016 The role of natural enemy diversity in biological pest control has been debated in many studies, and understanding how interactions amongst predators and parasitoids affect herbivore populations is crucial for pest management.

Interactions between Bacillus thuringiensis and entomophagous insects
Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020 The interactions between insect pathogens, parasitoids, and predators have been proposed as “intraguild predation (IGP).” It occurs when two species share a host or prey (and therefore may compete) or when they engage in a trophic interaction with each ...
