Classical biological control of invasive stink bugs with egg parasitoids - what does success look like?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Pest management science"
DOI: 10.1002/ps.5813
Abstract: Although the enemy release hypothesis forms the theoretical basis for classical (=importation) biological control of invasive pests, its core assumptions are not always examined. This could contribute to unrealistic expectations for some biological control programs.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00709-017-1087-y
Abstract: The metathoracic scent system in Heteroptera produces and releases defensive volatile compounds. The odor produced by predatory stink bugs differs from phytophagous bugs, suggesting a variation between the structure and function of the metathoracic scent… read more here.

A novel trophobiotic interaction between a Neotropical stink bug and an ant species: Insights into potential benefits to the host plant

DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2020.104296
Abstract: Trophobiotic interactions occur when phytophagous insects provide a sugary liquid, the honeydew, for ants and obtain defence against predators or parasitoids. The plants may indirectly benefit from an increased ant foraging activity by reducing the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-05873-w
Abstract: In crop systems, successful management of invasive insect herbivores can be achieved through the introduction of exotic biocontrol agents, parasitoids or predators, having a coevolutionary history with the pest. To avert threats to local biodiversity,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blx095
Abstract: Genitalia are among the most studied phenotypes because they exhibit high anatomical diversity, experience fast evolutionary rates and may be shaped by several evolutionary mechanisms. A key element to uncover the mechanisms behind such impressive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toab129
Abstract: Abstract Psix saccharicola (Mani) and Trissolcus semistriatus (Nees) are the most abundant eggs parasitoids of the stink bug, Acrosternum arabicum Wagner, in pistachio orchards and have the potential to contribute to their suppression. However, treatment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/ieab111
Abstract: Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are ubiquitous, cryptic, phytophagous pests that are found in many crops. In agroecosystems, individuals disperse from adjacent noncrop hosts and tend to aggregate or cluster within fields. In this study, we… read more here.
