Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests. [PDF]
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Prey Range and Voracity of Main Insect Natural Enemies of Pests in Corsican Clementine Orchards
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.

Abstract The biodiversity of Greek agroecosystems is constantly changing, with the influx of new species reshaping food webs. The present study contributes to the documentation of Greek fauna by reporting, for the first time, the occurrence of the Asian predatory ladybird Serangium montazerii Fürsch (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The species was detected
