      Lopez, Silvia Noemi; Orozco Muñoz, Arlette; Andorno, Andrea Veronica; Cuello, Eliana Marina; Cagnotti, Cynthia Lorena (Department of Agroenvironmental Sciences and Technologies, Università di Bologna., 2019)
      The predator Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Spinola) is frequently found preying on whiteflies in greenhouse tomato without pesticide use in Argentina. This study evaluated its preying capacity on several pests, determining the ...
    • Prey consumption and development of the indigenous lacewing Chrysoperla externa feeding on two exotic Eucalyptus pests 

      Cuello, Eliana Marina; Andorno, Andrea Veronica; Hernandez, Carmen Marcela; Lopez, Silvia Noemi (Taylor & Francis, 2019)
      The green lacewing Chrysoperla externa is a widespread species in the Neotropical region that occurs in different habitats. Its presence in Eucalyptus plantations infested with Glycaspis brimblecombei (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) ...
    • Sex Chromosome Turnover in Moths of the Diverse Superfamily Gelechioidea 

      Carabajal Paladino, Leonela Z.; Provaznıkova, Irena; Berger, Madeleine; Bass, Chris; Aratchige, Nayanie S.; Lopez, Silvia Noemi; Marec, Frantisek; Nguyen, Petr (Oxford University Press, 2019-04-08)
      Sex chromosomes play a central role in genetics of speciation and their turnover was suggested to promote divergence. Invertebrates, sex chromosome–autosome fusions resulting in neo-sex chromosomes occur frequently in male ...
    • The pest kill rate of thirteen natural enemies as aggregate evaluation criterion of their biological control potential of Tuta absoluta 

      van Lenteren, Joop C.; Lanzoni, Alberto; Hemerik, Lia; Bueno, Vanda H.P.; Bajonero Cuervo, Johanna G.; Biondi, Antonio; Burgio, Giovanni; Calvo, Francisco J.; de Jong, Peter W.; Lopez, Silvia Noemi; Luna, María Gabriela; Montes, Flavio C.; Nieves, Eliana L.; Aigbedion‑Atalor, Pascal Osa; Riquelme Virgala, Maria B.; Sánchez, Norma E.; Urbaneja, Alberto (Springer, 2021-05-24)
      Ecologists study how populations are regulated, while scientists studying biological pest control apply population regulation processes to reduce numbers of harmful organisms: an organism (a natural enemy) is used to reduce ...
