Avispas exóticas en la Patagonia: la importancia de la ecología de invasiones en el manejo de plagas
(2014-08)El manejo integrado de plagas (MIP) se basa en el conocimiento de la ecología de las especies problema. Se ha sugerido que cuando las plagas son especies invasoras, la comprensión del proceso de invasión puede mejorar aun ... -
Characterization of the earwig, Doru lineare, as a predator of larvae of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda: a functional response study
(Entomological Society of America, 2010-01)Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is considered as the most important pest of maize in almost all tropical America. In Argentina, the earwig Doru lineare Eschscholtz (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) has been ... -
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae
(Springer, 2011-08)Insect species associated with human goods continue to be accidentally introduced into new locations. A small proportion of these introduced species become invasive, causing a range of impacts in the receiving community. ... -
Efecto de diferentes prácticas de manejo orgánico en frambueso sobre la diversidad de artrópodos de importancia agrícola en El Bolsón, Río Negro = Effect of different organic management practices in raspberry on the diversity of arthropods of agricultural importance in El Bolsón, Río Negro
(Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad Nacional de La Plata, 2023-06)La producción de fruta fina de forma orgánica y/o agroecológica en la Comarca Andina del Paralelo 42º se encuentra con el problema de escasa información local sobre prácticas de manejo de la sanidad de los cultivos, lo que ... -
Effect of egg production dynamics on the functional response of two parasitoids
(Plos ONE, 2024-03)Functional response describes the number of hosts attacked by a parasitoid in relation to host densities and plays an important role by connecting behavioral-level processes with community-level processes. Most functional ... -
Foraging niche separation of social wasps in an invaded area: Implications for their management
(Wiley Online Library, 2019-10)Foraging niche separation may be a mechanism to promote coexistence of two competing species by concentrating intraspecific competition relative to interspecific competition. The present study investigated foraging behaviour ... -
Managing nuisance social insects in urban environments : an overview
(2017-04)Urbanization is progressing worldwide where social insects often attain pest status. We present an overview of the practices applied for the management of social insects in urban settings from 1990 to 2016. We found that ... -
Olfactory attraction of the larval parasitoid, Hyposoter horticola, to plants infested with eggs of the host butterfly, Melitaea cinxia
(Entomological Society of America, 2010-01)Parasitoids locate inconspicuous hosts in a heterogeneous habitat using plant volatiles, some of which are induced by the hosts. Hyposoter horticola Gravenhost (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a parasitoid of the Glanville ... -
Perspectivas de estrategias para el manejo de la Chaqueta Amarilla
(EEA Bariloche, INTA, 2021-12)Las avispas “chaqueta amarilla” se encuentran bien establecidas en la Patagonia Argentina. Cada verano, cuando la abundancia de estas avispas comienza a ser alta, muchas actividades cotidianas al aire libre se ven afectadas ... -
Pest management of social insects in urban settings
(2017-04)Pest management of social insects in urban environments is a growing global concern, given the problems that these pests generate and the growth of urban areas worldwide. In this special issue, we present studies on the ... -
Polistes dominula (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) paper wasps detect native grasshoppers using olfactory cues
(Wiley, 2023-10)Polistes dominula is an invasive social wasp that preys on the grasshopper Dichroplus elongatus, which constitutes a potential agricultural pest in Northwest Patagonia. This grasshopper feeds on a wide variety of plants, ... -
Redefining the field to mobilize three-dimensional diversity and ecosystem services on the arable farm
(Elsevier, 2021-01)In this article we explore the concept and implications of three-dimensional (spatial, temporal, and genetic) in-field crop diversification to inform systems redesign towards ecological intensification. We first present a ... -
Resident Hymenopteran Parasitoids with Potential Drosophilid Associations in Andean North Patagonia: Implications for the Biological Control of the Spotted Wing Drosophila
(Springer, 2023-09)The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, is native to Southeast Asia and has become a serious pest of soft-skinned fruits worldwide. Several control methods are being tested worldwide as part of an ... -
The Influence of Food and Con-specifics on the Flight Potential of the Parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides
(Springer, 2011-11)For insect parasitoids, knowledge of their flight capability is essential for a general understanding of the relationship with their hosts. For instance, flight capacity might partly determine their efficacy as biological ... -
The origins of global invasions of the German wasp (Vespula germanica) and its infection with four honey bee viruses
(Springer, 2018-12)A successful control or eradication programme using biological control or genetically-mediated methods requires knowledge of the origin and the extent of wasp genetic diversity. Mitochondrial DNA variation in the native ...
