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.

Susceptibility of Myzus persicae, Brevicoryne brassicae and Nasonovia ribisnigri to fungal biopesticides in laboratory and field experiments [PDF]
, 2020 The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) for the control of aphid pests of field vegetable crops. Four biopesticides based on the EPF Beauveria bassiana (Botanigard ES and Naturalis L), Cordyceps fumosorosea s.l.

Pea Aphid Survival Assays on Arabidopsis thaliana
Bio-Protocol, 2014 Aphids are phloem-feeding insects that successfully colonize specific host plant species. Aphid performance on a given plant is commonly measured by assessing fecundity of an aphid species that is adapted to the host.

Non-consumptive effects stabilize herbivore control over multiple generations.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Understanding the factors that influence predator-prey dynamics requires an investigation of oscillations in predator and prey population sizes over time. However, empirical studies are often performed over one or fewer predator generations.

Lateral gene transfer between prokaryotes and multicellular eukaryotes: ongoing and significant? [PDF]
, 2009 The expansion of genome sequencing projects has produced accumulating evidence for lateral transfer of genes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. However, it remains controversial whether these genes are of functional importance in their recipient
