Biological invasion of European tomato crops by Tuta absoluta: ecology, geographic expansion and prospects for biological control
Nicolas Desneux,Eric Wajnberg,Kris A.G. Wyckhuys,Giovanni Burgio,Salvatore Arpaia,Consuelo A. Narváez-Vasquez,Joel González-Cabrera,Diana Catalán Ruescas,Elisabeth Tabone,Jacques Frandon,Jeannine Pizzol,Christine Poncet,Tomás Cabello,Alberto Urbaneja +13 more
TL;DR: A review of information on the invasion by T. absoluta, its ecology, and potential management strategies, including data that may help the implementation of efficient biological control programs, indicates an urgent need for efficient and sustainable management methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species composition and seasonal abundance of pestiferous plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) on Bt Cotton in China
TL;DR: This paper suggests that L. lucorum, L. pratensis, and A. suturalis should be treated as the main targets for developing pestiferous mirid forecasting and management strategies, which would be defined at or prior to the flowering and squaring stages of cotton in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world
Kris A.G. Wyckhuys,Yanhui Lu,Helda Morales,Luis L. Vazquez,Jesusa Crisostomo Legaspi,Panagiotis A. Eliopoulos,Luis M. Hernandez +6 more
TL;DR: There is potential for well-orchestrated regional research projects to pursue higher levels of CBC integration into current pest management schemes, and a first step in drawing a roadmap for developing-world research that provides local farmers with safe, low-cost means to control damaging insect pests, safeguard harvests and secure their livelihoods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population responses by Orius insidiosus to vegetational diversity
TL;DR: Higher abundance of O. insidiosus in vegetationally diverse habitats could be related to improved fitness of the predator, which in turn is related to certain plant qualities (e.g., nutrition, plant architecture, etc.).
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasitism of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines by Binodoxys communis: the role of aphid defensive behaviour and parasitoid reproductive performance
Kris A.G. Wyckhuys,Laura Hocum Stone,Nicolas Desneux,Kim A. Hoelmer,Keith R. Hopper,George E. Heimpel +5 more
TL;DR: The different aphid stages exhibited a range of defensive behaviours, including body raising, kicking and body rotation, which were employed most effectively by larger aphids.
