Insect Science, EarlyView.The mutualism between Tapinoma ibericum ants and Aphis gossypii disrupts the biological control exerted by Aphidius colemani in greenhouse peppers. Ant exclusion increased parasitism and the presence of most natural enemies, although Aphidoletes aphidimyza was more abundant with ants.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 We investigated mother-offspring relations in a lady beetle Stethorus punctillum Weise that utilizes spider mites as prey. Our objectives were to determine if (1) prey quality affects egg size, (2) maternal size correlates with egg size, and (3) egg size

Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Realistische Trainingsmodelle sind essenziell, um Ärztinnen und Ärzte in klinischen Prozeduren zu schulen. In dieser Studie wurde untersucht, ob ein kostengünstiges, selbst generiertes 3D‐gedrucktes Hautmodell Früchten und Schaumstoffmodellen beim Erlernen von Hautstanzen überlegen ist.

Biological control of fruit-tree red spider mite
, 1976 During the last decade, integrated pest control systems have been developed for several crops. One of the main fields of research in integrated control has been the control of orchard pests. Experience with modified spraying programmes in apple orchards,

Plant responses to spider mite oviposition.
, 2022 Plants are sessile organisms permanently exposed to a combination of abiotic and biotic stresses. Therefore, their survival depends on their capacity to adapt to the myriad of events that they face constantly. Among them, arthropod herbivory has a heavy cost on plant biology, and on agricultural systems millions of euros are lost every year due to pest

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.

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.
