Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.To assess the biocontrol potential on the main arthropod pests of clementine orchards in Corsica, laboratory experiments were carried out using five potential predators. Their prey range and voracity were tested on three pest species. Then, a global predation rate index was calculated at the scale of the entire community of insect predators.

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.Understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental change requires accounting for multiple interacting climatic factors; yet relative humidity is rarely integrated with temperature in trait‐based performance frameworks. Using laboratory experiments and an analytic population growth model, we show that humidity systematically modifies juvenile life ...
