Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.

Novel insights into mitochondrial gene rearrangement in thrips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) from the grass thrips, Anaphothrips obscurus

Scientific Reports, 2017
We sequenced the mitochondrial (mt) genome of the grass thrips, Anaphothrips obscurus, which is highly rearranged and differs from the four thrips species reported previously in the arrangement of both tRNA genes and a protein-coding gene, nad3, and in ...

Global habitat suitability and invasion risk of melon thrips

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Habitat suitability of Thrips palmi worldwide was predicted using the MaxEnt model. Precipitation of the driest month, precipitation of the wettest month and annual mean temperature were identified as the key climatic drivers influencing its distribution.

Parasitic wasp‐associated polydnavirus and venom affect arthropod community assembly on wild cabbage via the caterpillar host

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

Effect of single and mixed diets on the fitness of omnivorous thrips, Thrips tabaci (Thys.: Thripidae) [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2011
Food choice in omnivorous animals is influenced by the balance of nutritional needs, food availability, and quality of a particular food items. Here, we study whether omnivorous onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, feed on the eggs of its competitor ...

Thrips as unique vectors of tospoviruses [PDF]

, 2008
Een tiental tripssoorten brengt tospovirussen van geïnfecteerde naar gezonde planten over, waaronder het zeer schadelijke tomatenbrons-vlekkenvirus (TSWV). De relatie tussen de tripsen als virusoverbrenger en deze virussen is uniek.

Regenerative wheat management: The relative effects of farm practices on the biodiversity of invertebrates

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Wheat in North America harbours a diverse insect community (565 morphospecies were identified in this study), and pests represented <7% of specimens collected. Regenerative wheat management promoted insect diversity without increasing pest populations.

Pest Identification Guide: An Introduction to Thrips

EDIS, 2016
Tiny insects called thrips are difficult to see with the unaided eye but cause very obvious and sometimes ruinous damage to the flowers, buds, and fruit of many important crops.

Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...
