Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Spirodiclofen resistance levels in B. yothersi varied geographically across the Brazilian citrus belt, with higher resistance in the central region. Sublethal effects included reduced oviposition, increased non‐viable eggs and disrupted female reproduction.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Mitigating ground effect on mini quadcopters with model reference adaptive control [PDF]
, 2019 Mitigating ground effect becomes a big challenge for autonomous aerial vehicles when they are flying in close proximity to the ground. This paper aims to develop a precise model of ground effect on mini quadcopters, provide an advanced control algorithm ...

Two predatory mite species as potential control agents of broad mites [PDF]
BioControl, 2017 The broad mite is a key pest of various crops worldwide, including chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens), where it is controlled with chemical pesticides. Two phytoseiid predators (Amblyseius herbicolus and Neoseiulus barkeri) and a blattisociid mite species (Lasioseius floridensis) occur in association with the broad mite in Brazil.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Organic production of strawberries [PDF]
, 2007 Organic fruit and vegetable growing is increasing world-wide, but knowledge concerning best practice is generally empirical rather than field-based. This thesis extends knowledge concerning best practice in Swedish organic strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa

The stealthiness of predatory mites as spider mite biological control agents [PDF]
Biological Control, 2019 Abstract Adult spider mite females that are aware of predatory mites can reduce predation by dispersing from patches invaded by predators or by shifting their oviposition site onto webs where eggs are predated less than on leaf surfaces. Therefore, the stealthiness of predatory mites stalking spider mite females should largely determine the success ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.
