Intraguild predation between the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis and non-target European coccinellid species [PDF]

, 2018
The coccinellid Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) has been used for augmentative and classical biological control in many environments. More recently it has invaded large parts of Europe and negative effects for native populations of aphidophagous coccinellids ...

The right banker plant for the right application: Comparison of three candidates for aphid biocontrol, barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), corn (Zea mays L.), and finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn)

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 7, Page 3293-3300, July 2024.
Finger millet, corn, and barley have different characteristics which predispose them to be used as banker plants in different specific biocontrol contexts. Abstract BACKGROUND In temperate regions, aphid biological control in greenhouses is mostly achieved by the regular release of biocontrol agents. Due to the rapid growth rate of the aphid population,

Effect of presence and semiochemicals of conspecific stages on oviposition by ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2012
Reduced oviposition by ladybirds in the presence of tracks of fourth instar larvae owing to the presence of oviposition deterring pheromones is well established across many genera.

Independent and combined effects of daytime heat stress and night-time recovery determine thermal performance

Biology Open, 2019
Organisms often experience adverse high temperatures during the daytime, but they may also recover or repair themselves during the night-time when temperatures are more moderate.

Preference of two populations of Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for Aphis fabae and Aphis gossypii (Homoptera: Aphididae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
Prey preference of natural enemies is an important parameter used in studies on their efficiency. Feeding preferences of individuals from two populations of Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for the essential prey items ...

The predators attacking soft scales (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) in Serbia

European Journal of Entomology
This study aimed to determine the diversity of species of predators attacking scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccidae) in Serbia. Over a four-year period, at 25 locations and on 25 host plants infested with 16 species of Coccidae, a total of 18,050 predators ...

Do functional traits improve prediction of predation rates for a disparate group of aphid predators? [PDF]

, 2008
Aphid predators are a systematically disparate group of arthropods united on the basis that they consume aphids as part of their diet. In Europe, this group includes Araneae, Opiliones, Heteroptera, chrysopids, Forficulina, syrphid larvae, carabids ...

Inter-And Intraspecific Interactions in Two Mealybug Predators Spalgis epius and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri in the Presence and Absence of Prey [PDF]

, 2014
Spalgis epius and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri are the two potential predators of different species of mealybugs. However, the mode of their interactions is not known to use these predators together in the field.
