DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2713
Abstract: Abstract The endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia is the most widespread bacteria in insects, yet the ecology of novel acquisitions in natural host populations is poorly understood. Using temporal data separated by 12 years, I tested the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6491
Abstract: BACKGROUND Plant pathogens and pests often occur together, causing damage while interfering with plant growth. The effects of phytopathogenic infections on plant-herbivore-natural enemy tri-trophic interactions (TTIs) have been extensively investigated, but little is known about… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aspen.2019.08.009
Abstract: Abstract Anastatus orientalis is a solitary endoparasitoid of Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) eggs. We investigated the development, longevity, fecundity, and sex ratio of A. orientalis on different temperatures to establish the optimal temperature condition for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2018.07.013
Abstract: Abstract Pupal parasitoids are considered to be idiobionts. However, some pupal parasitoids do not seem to kill or paralyze hosts at oviposition, including Tetrastichus brontispae, an endo-pupal parasitoid of Brontispa longissima. We conducted laboratory experiments… read more here.
