Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) parasitizing Epirrita autumnata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) larvae in Fennoscandia with description of Cotesia autumnatae Shaw, sp. n. [PDF]

, 2013
The microgastrine subset of hymenopteran parasitoids of the geometrid Epirrita autumnata is investigated in Fennoscandia. Ecology, including population dynamics, of the moth has been intensively studied in northern and mountainous Finland, Norway and ...

Teknik perbanyakan massal parasitoid Anagrus nilaparvatae (Pang et Wang) (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) dengan kotak plastik

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2015
Anagrus nilaparvatae (Pang et Wang) is an egg-parasitoid of rice brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stål). The objective of this study was to develop a mass-rearing technique of A. nilaparvatae.

The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

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

Warming Reduces Parasitoid Success and Narrows Their Diet Breadth. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Warming may have a major impact on trophic networks, but few interactions are typically studied. Here we show that experimental warming strongly decreased the success of parasitoid development across 28 Drosophila‐parasitoid interactions from a tropical rainforest network. Warming strongly narrowed the diversity of hosts that the parasitoids could use.

Heating up parasitoid–host interactions: High temperature increased mortality of late‐instar braconid larvae and reduced ladybird recovery rate

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

Annotated checklist and illustrated key to braconid parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) of economically important fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) in Brazil [PDF]

, 2018
The braconid parasitoids of fruit-infesting flies have been more intensively studied from the middle to late 1990s, when taxonomic research was restarted in Brazil.

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)
