Nonreproductive effects are more important than reproductive effects in a host feeding parasitoid
(Nature, 2022-07-06)
When female host feeding parasitoids encounter a potential host, they face a complicated trade-off between either laying an egg for investing in current reproduction or feeding on or killing the host ...
Effect of packaging chickpeas with CO2 modified atmospheres on mortality of Callosobruchus chinensis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
(Elsevier, 2021-10-19)
High CO2 modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is a sustainable alternative for pest control in stored products. The effectiveness of this method varies depending on the CO2 concentration used, insect ...
Disentangling omnivory of heteropteran and coccinellid predators present in peach and alfalfa crops by metabarcoding analysis
(Elsevier, 2024-05-31)
Ecosystems management is essential for the biological control of arthropod pests in agriculture. For this, it is necessary to know which arthropod and plant resources are the most used by the generalist ...
Efficacy of Modified Atmospheres on Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) and Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2019-07-09)
We investigated the efficacy of two types of modified atmospheres (MA) against adults of the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, under ...

(Pensoft Publishers, 2015-09-29)
Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur, 1839) (Insecta, Heteroptera, Miridae) is a predator of key vegetable crop pests applied as a biocontrol agent in the Mediterranean region. M. pygmaeus and M. melanotoma (A. ...
Molecular tracking of insect dispersal to verify arthropod predator movement from an alfalfa field to a peach orchard
(Elsevier, 2020-12-10)
Implementation of landscape approaches to conservation biological control programs requires the confirmation of putative sources that contribute to predator colonization of crops. Several predator species ...

(Elsevier, 2023-03-20)
Rice is an important cereal crop in Spain that is frequently attacked by pests that cause significant quantitative and qualitative losses. Among them, the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, is the key ...
Impact of the Parasitoids Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) and Lariophagus distinguendus (Förster) on Three Pests of Stored Rice
(MDPI, 2023-04-03)
Various pest species cause significant damage to stored rice, and polyphagous parasitoids could offer an appropriate biological control strategy. Among the beneficial species colonising silos and ...
