Journal ArticleDOI
Duration of development and longevity inAphidius ervi andAphidius platensis [Hym.: Aphidiidae], two parasites ofMyzus persicae [Hom.: Aphididae]
T. Hofsvang,Eline B. Hågvar +1 more
TL;DR: Differences in longevity between the sexes were small and dependent on temperature and food, and was not significantly influenced by the different host plants during parasite development.

T. Hofsvang,Eline B. Hågvar +1 more
TL;DR: The parasitoidEphedrus cerasicola Starý oviposited in all 4 nymphal instars and in newly moulted adults ofMyzus persicae (Sulzer) and the different host categories were offered with no choice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The predation of Chrysoperla carnea (Neurop., Chrysopidae) on eggs and larvae of Mamestra brassicae (Lep., Noctuidae)
TL;DR: The predation rate of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) on eggs and larvae of the lepidopterous species Mamestra brassicae (L.) was investigated including the prey's influence on survival and development including the quality aspect of the prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional responses to prey density of Ephedrus cerasicola [Hym.: Aphidiidae] , an aphidiid parasitoid of Myzus persicae [Hom.: Aphididae]
T. Hofsvang,Eline B. Hågvar +1 more
TL;DR: The functional responses of the parasitoidEphedrus cerasicola Starý parasitizingMyzus persicae (Sulzer) on a paprika plant, were studied for single females at different host densities during 3 different time periods (1 hr, 6 hrs, 24 hrs) at 21 °C.
