Predator-Pest Dynamics of Arthropods Residing in Louisiana Soybean Agroecosystems

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Over the past two decades, management practices within Louisiana soybean production have shifted. Successful application of an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy requires an understanding of how these changes have affected predator-pest dynamics ...

Lepidopteran pests associated with the soybean cultivars phenology

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2017
Lepidopteran pests are one of the major constraints to the soybean production potential, whose defoliating caterpillars can occur throughout the crop cycle causing serious damage. Therefore, the objective was to study the population fluctuation of lepidopteran pests and the association of species with the growth stages of soybean cultivars in the ...

Banker Plant Bonuses? The Benefits and Risks of Including Brassicas in Field Margins to Promote Conservation Biocontrol of Specialist Pests in Oilseed Rape

open access: yesInsects, 2023
European agri-environment schemes include the use of flower-rich field margins to promote on-farm biodiversity, but species mixtures rarely include Brassicaceae.

Estimating plant–insect interactions under climate change with limited data

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Climate change may disrupt species–species interactions via phenological changes in one or both species. To predict and evaluate the influence of climate change on these interactions, long-term monitoring and sampling over large spatial areas are ...

The Importance of Stem Borer, Apomecyna saltator Fabricius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Honey Pumpkin Plants (Cucurbita moschata Dusch)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Agricultural Science and Technology, 2023
Currently, honey pumpkin plants are widely looked at and are in great demand for cultivation. Honey pumpkin production is in great demand with a relatively high price and can be stored for a relatively long time. Apomecyna saltator Fabricius (Coleoptera:

Incorporating variability in simulations of seasonally forced phenology using integral projection models

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Phenology models are becoming increasingly important tools to accurately predict how climate change will impact the life histories of organisms. We propose a class of integral projection phenology models derived from stochastic individual‐based models of

On the occurrence of two species of Encarsia (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) parasitoids of Aleuroclava sp. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Southern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Entomological and Acarological Research, 2016
Two species of Encarsia (E. aseta and E. sophia) were identified as parasitoids of Aleuroclava sp, probably A. aucubae. The occurrence of Encarsia aseta is recorded for the first time in Europe. The phenology of both, pest and parasitoids, is under study.
