Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of host plant on the functional response of the predator Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera : Pentatomidae)
TL;DR: It is suggested that glandular trichomes on the plant surface and allelochemicals may interfere with the predator's performance on tomato, resulting in an impaired searching efficiency and predation ability.

Predaceous Stinkbugs (Pentatomidae: Asopinae)
TL;DR: Members of the subfamily Asopinae (common names: predatory stinkbugs or soldier bugs) are set apart from the other pentatomid subfamilies by their essentially predaceous feeding habits as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unnatural Prey and Artificial Diets for RearingPodisus maculiventris(Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
TL;DR: Female predators reared on the artificial diets were significantly smaller than those produced on live prey, but had a fecundity similar to that of females fed on larvae or pupae of Tenebrio molitor.

Toxicity of thiamethoxam and imidacloprid to Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) nymphs associated to aphid and whitefly control in cotton
Jorge B. Torres,John R. Ruberson +1 more
TL;DR: Thiamethoxam and imidacloprid showed significant control of whitefly in comparison with untreated plants up to 40 days after treatment in potted plants and preservation of P. nigrispinus preservation can be more successful when they are used at doses bellow 1 mg (a.i.) per plant due to shorter residual effect.

Toxic effects of the neem oil (Azadirachta indica) formulation on the stink bug predator, Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
José Cola Zanuncio,Sheila A. Mourão,Luis Carlos Martínez,Carlos Frederico Wilcken,Francisco S. Ramalho,Angelica Plata-Rueda,Marcus Alvarenga Soares,José Eduardo Serrão +7 more
TL;DR: The neem oil at high and sub lethal doses cause mortality, inhibits growth and survival and results in anomalies on wings and legs of the non-traget predator P. nigrispinus indicating that its use associated with biological control should be carefully evaluated.

Comparative Life Cycles of Four Species of Predatory Stink Bugs
David B. Richman,W. H. Whitcomb +1 more
TL;DR: Four species of asopine stink bugs, Alcaeorrhynchus grandis (Dallas), EuthyrhynchUS floridanus (L.), Podisus maculiventris (Say), and Stiretrus anchorago (Fab), were reared in the laboratory under identical conditions.
