Field Abundance Patterns and Odor-Mediated Host Choice by Clover Seed Weevils, Apion fulvipes and Apion trifolii (Coleoptera: Apionidae)
(2015-02)
The clover seed weevils Apion fulvipes Geoffroy, 1785 and Apion trifolii L., 1768
(Coleoptera: Apionidae) cause major losses to seed production of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) and
red clover (Trifolium pratense ...
Mating Strategies in Solitary Aphid Parasitoids: Effect of Patch Residence Time and Ant Attendance
(2011-06)
Mate finding and dispersal from the natal patch in parasitoid Hymenoptera
are influenced by the availability of host resources and interactions with other
organisms. We compared the mating behavior of three solitary aphid ...
Impact of low-cost management techniques on population dynamics of plant-parasitic nematodes in sweet potato
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Sweet potato is an important food security crop but its production is limited by various biotic constraints including plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN). In Kenya, current PPN management practices in sweet potato have several ...

Common Cerambycid Pheromone Components as Attractants for Longhorn Beetles (Cerambycidae) Breeding in Ephemeral Oak Substrates in Northern Europe
(Springer, 2019-06)
Longhorn beetles are ecologically important insects in forest ecosystems as decomposers of woody substrates, microhabitat engineers,
and as components of forest food webs. These species can be greatly affected both ...
Effects of pea aphid secondary endosymbionts on aphid resistance and development of the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi: a correlative study
(2010-05)
In order to reduce parasite-induced mortality, hosts may be involved in mutualistic interactions in
which the partner contributes to resistance against the parasite. The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum
Harris (Hemiptera: ...
Temporal genetic structuring of a specialist parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) attacking a specialist aphid on tansy
(The Linnean Society of London, 2011)
In insect species characterized by inbreeding, limited dispersal, and a metapopulation structure, high genetic
differentiation and reduced genetic diversity within local populations are expected. Using the model ...
