Temperature mediates trophic interactions, including relationships between insect pests and
predators, and functional response studies are often used to determine the suitability of …

Euborellia annulipes, a nocturnal predatory earwig, has been found in association to fallen
Myrtaceae fruits infested with fruit-fly larvae (Diptera: Tephritidae). Additionally, these fruits …

Abstract Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a key sugarcane pest in South
America. The prohibition of crop burning and soil conservation programs have allowed …

Abstract Euborellia annulipes (Lucas)(Dermaptera: Anisolabididae) is reported as a
potential predator of Plutella xylostella (L.)(Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). In this study, we aimed …

Abstract The earwig Euborellia annulipes (Lucas)(Dermaptera: Anisolabididae), a generalist
predator, has been observed in fruits infested with fruit fly larvae, which are frequently …

BACKGROUND Selective insecticides and insecticide‐resistant natural enemies are
components of chemical and biological methods that can be compatible in an integrated …

Interactions between earwigs and entomopathogens, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), are
still poorly understood. This study tested whether Bt-based bioinsecticides have any effect …

The presence of predators can induce non‐consumptive effects on prey that result in
subsequent changes to prey behaviour and defence. We investigate the interaction between …

Hyadaphis foeniculi is a significant phytosanitary issue in fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)
cultivation, necessitating rational management strategies, such as biological control using …

Understanding of functional responses (ie, changes in predator feeding rates with prey
density) of key predators to different crop pest stages is critical to strengthening biological …
