DOI: 10.1002/ps.7002
Abstract: Abstract Background Estimating parasitoid abundance in the field can be difficult, even more so when attempting to quantify parasitism rates and the ecosystem service of biological control that parasitoids can provide. To understand how ‘field… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0007485318000196
Abstract: Abstract Fleas have great medical relevance as vectors of the causative agents of several diseases in animals and humans and rodents are the principal reservoirs for these pathogens. Argentinian Patagonia has the highest diversity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/ieac071
Abstract: Abstract Anthonomus eugenii Cano (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a key pest of cultivated peppers (Capsicum species) in tropical and subtropical America. Here we evaluated the effect of five pepper varieties on the susceptibility of A. eugenii… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12342
Abstract: Agricultural intensification affects negatively on landscape heterogeneity, biodiversity, biotic interactions and the associated ecological functions. Here, we describe the structure of herbivore–parasitoid interactions by analysing the rates of parasitism and their variability in relation to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.07484
Abstract: Species-specific responses to the environment can moderate the strength of interactions between plants, herbivores and parasitoids. However, the ways in which characteristics of plants, such as genotypic variation in herbivore induced volatiles (HIPVs) that attract… read more here.
