DOI: 10.1002/mma.70299
Abstract: In this paper, based on Euler–Marryama method and the theory of stochastic processes, considering that changes in crop, pest and natural enemy populations can be affected by environmental white noise during the process of integrated… read more here.

Natural enemy composition rather than richness determines pest suppression

DOI: 10.1007/s10526-018-9870-z
Abstract: Natural enemy (NE) biodiversity is thought to play an important role in agricultural pest suppression. However, the relative importance of the number of NE species (species richness), versus the particular combinations of species (species composition),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2017.10.004
Abstract: Abstract The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, is a significant economic pest of citrus because it vectors a bacterium that causes the lethal citrus disease huanglongbing. From 2015 to 2016, digital video recorders were used… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cois.2017.01.001
Abstract: Natural enemy diversity generally strengthens biological control, but individual studies have found everything from positive to negative effects. We discuss the factors that promote these different outcomes. We argue that a trait-based approach is helpful… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvab007
Abstract: Abstract Whether increased natural enemy density or adding a second natural enemy species will provide superior pest suppression in greenhouse augmentative biological control is unknown for many commercially available natural enemy species. In this study,… read more here.

Landscape Complexity has Mixed Effects on an Invasive Aphid and Its Natural Enemies in Sorghum Agroecosystems

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvac036
Abstract: Abstract Landscapes with more complex composition and configuration are generally expected to enhance natural enemy densities and pest suppression. To evaluate this hypothesis for an invasive aphid pest of sorghum, Melanaphis sorghi Theobald (Hemiptera: Aphididae),… read more here.

Dynamic Economic Thresholds for Insecticide Applications Against Agricultural Pests: Importance of Pest and Natural Enemy Migration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of Economic Entomology"
DOI: 10.1093/jee/toad019
Abstract: Abstract In Integrated Pest Management programs, insecticides are applied to agricultural crops when pest densities exceed a predetermined economic threshold. Under conditions of high natural enemy density, however, the economic threshold can be increased, allowing… read more here.

Loss of olfaction reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to a natural enemy

DOI: 10.1101/2024.12.17.629055
Abstract: Insect herbivores such as caterpillars, are under strong selection pressure from natural enemies, especially parasitoid wasps. Although the role of olfaction in host-plant seeking has been investigated in great detail in parasitoids and adult lepidopterans,… read more here.

Rooted disruptions: Below‐ground herbivory drives contrasting natural enemy foraging for hosts and prey
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Functional Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.70171
Abstract: Although research on below‐ground multitrophic interactions has increased, comparative studies examining how root herbivores influence the foraging behaviour of different natural enemies—especially generalist predators—remains limited. Parasitoids are thought to depend on more host‐specific cues that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eea.12869
Abstract: Tritrophic interactions mediated by semiochemicals have been intensively studied from the viewpoint of ecological relationships with Nearctic tritrophic organisms. However, there are few studies involving interactions with different herbivores on the same host plant in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s021833901950013x
Abstract: Recently, pest control has become a very interesting research topic because it is closely associated with agricultural and economic loss. Empirical evidence shows that pest insects are responsible for lower crop production and many other… read more here.
