Evaluation of pitfall traps for capturing arthropods in turfgrass

open access: yesCrop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2025.
Abstract The turfgrass system is a complex ecosystem where many soil‐born arthropods dwell and co‐exist. Often, turfgrass is threatened by many pests, such as billbugs (Sphenophorus spp.; Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Monitoring pests is an important strategy for effective management decisions.

Biology and life tables of Telenomus remus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) as parasitoid of Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2021
Telenomus remus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), is an endoparasitoid on eggs of Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). S. frugiperda. The information of T. remus as a natural enemy of S. frugiperda is very limited.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 463-497, June 2025.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.

Reproduction of Ooencyrtus submetallicus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Trissolcus sp. aff. urichi (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) in Eggs of Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) of Different Ages

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Sciences, 2021
The study of the interaction between parasitoid and host, especially the age of these organisms, is an important step towards the implementation of biological control programs.

Arthropod diversity in peas with normal or reduced waxy bloom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Crop traits can alter economically important interactions between plants, pests, and biological control agents. For example, a reduced waxy bloom on the surface of pea plants alters interactions between pea aphids and their natural enemies. In this study,

Thermal performance drifts between the egg parasitoid Telenomus remus and the fall armyworm may threaten the efficacy of biological control under climate change

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 338-350, May 2025.
High‐temperature acclimation pretreatment increased the parasitoid, Telenomus remus's heat tolerance, but these responses were lower than basal levels of fall armyworm, the host. High‐temperature acclimation also reduced the parasitoid's efficacy on fall armyworm eggs. Sub‐optimal high‐ and low‐temperature stress significantly reduced T.
