lenses of temperature effects on organismal physiology and phenological asynchronies …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production is vital to global food security. Climate change is
threatening sustainable wheat production not only with direct negative effects on crop …

Novel lighting technology offers the possibility of improved arthropod integrated pest
management (IPM) in artificially lighted crops. This review compiles the current knowledge …

Plant responses induced by zoophytophagous plant bugs (Miridae) have not been
thoroughly studied. Here, we show that three different zoophytophagous predators …

Solanaceous greenhouse crops are susceptible to infestation by a high number of insect
and mite pests that can cause serious yield losses. The most important of these pests are …

Background Climate change is expected to simultaneously alter many of the abiotic qualities
of ecosystems as well as biotic interactions, especially trophic interactions. However …

The beneficial effects of direct predation by zoophytophagous biological control agents
(BCAs), such as the mirid bug Nesidiocoris tenuis, are well-known. However, the benefits of …

Necessity to understand the role of additional food as a tool in biological control programs is
being increasingly felt, particularly due to its eco-friendly nature. A thorough mathematical …

For the mass production of the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus eggs of the
Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella are routinely used as an effective but …

The life table and biological characteristics of the predatory bug Macrolophus pygmaeus
