▪ Abstract Many terrestrial communities include omnivorous arthropods that feed on both
prey and plant resources. In this review we first discuss some unique morphological …

The use of plant-feeding predators for biological pest control has traditionally been
neglected, mainly due to the risk of them feeding on crop plants and causing economically …

First we describe the different types of biocontrol used in greenhouses and present
examples of each type. Next we summarize the history of greenhouse biocontrol, which …

Dicyphus hesperus Knight (Heteroptera: Miridae) nymphs were fed from egg hatch to the
adult stage on Ephestia kuehniella eggs provided either alone or in combination with tomato …

Predatoryy arthropods probably play a prominent role in determining the numbers of plant-
feedingg thrips on plants under natural conditions. Several reviews have been publishedd …

Predation rate and nymphal development time were determined for four predatory bugs
(Dicyphus tamaninii Wagner and Macrolophus caliginosus Wagner [Het.: Miridae], Orius …

Dicyphus tamaninii and Macrolophus caliginosus are predatory bugs that significantly
contribute to control of pests in tomato crops following early colonisation in spring from …

Many polyphagous or generalist predators, which can feed on a diversity of arthropod
families, are found among the arthropods. Many authors use the term when referring to …

Macrolophus pygmaeus (Heteroptera: Miridae) is an omnivourus predator used to control
several pests of horticultural greenhouses. With the aim to explore the relationship between …
