A new model formulation for host depletion in parasitoids
(Elsevier, 2023-01)A new model of host depletion in the functional response of parasitoids is presented. Most existing models describe the dynamics of prey consumption as a sequential-memoryless/Markovian process of searching for, handling, ... -
Can entomophagous nematodes slow the spread of invasive pest populations? The case study of Beddingia siricidicola released for the management of Sirex noctilio
(2014-12)Though rarely used in this way, biological control could potentially be exploited for managing spread of invasive species. Because spread of invasive species emerges from the combined action of population growth and ... -
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 ... -
Classical biological control of an invasive forest pest : a world perspective of the management of Sirex noctilio using the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(2015-02)Classical biological control is a key method for managing populations of pests in long-lived crops such as plantation forestry. The execution of biological control programmes in general, as the evaluation of potential ... -
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 Drosophila suzukii on Blueberry VOC’s: Chemical Cues for a Pupal Parasitoid, Trichopria anastrephae
(Springer, 2021-07)Biocontrol agents such as parasitic wasps use long-range volatiles and host-associated cues from lower trophic levels to find their hosts. However, this chemical landscape may be altered by the invasion of exotic insect ... -
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 ... -
Effects of elevated CO2 on the water hyacinth-biocontrol agent Megamelus scutellaris (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) and its yeast-like symbiotes
(Elsevier, 2024-01)Water hyacinth, Pontederia crassipes, is a highly invasive plant native to South America and one of the most invasive aquatic plants in the world. For its control, the planthopper Megamelus scutellaris Berg (Hemiptera: ... -
Host-related volatile cues used by a parasitoid wasp during foraging for its woodboring host
(Wiley, 2018-12)Parasitoids relymainly on infochemicals to search for their herbivore hosts to oviposit on. Megarhyssa nortoni (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is a parasitoid of siricid wasp larvae which are concealed inside tree ... -
Influence of adult diet on fitness and reproductive traits of the egg parasitoid Anagrus virlai (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), a potential biocontrol agent against the corn leafhopper
(Wiley, 2020-08)Dalbulus maidis is the most important leafhopper pest of maize in the Americas. Anagrus virlai is an egg parasitoid commonly associated with the corn leafhopper. We evaluated whether the performance of A. virlai is dependent ... -
Intra-host interspecific larval parasitoid competition solved using modelling and bayesian statistics
(Elsevier, 2018-07)Intraguild competition is a complex phenomenon that shapes parasitoid communities. When several species of parasitoids oviposit within the same individual host, a complex phenomenon of larval competitive interaction occurs. ... -
Management of Sirex noctilio populations in exotic pine plantations: critical issues explaining invasion success and damage levels in South America
(Springer Nature, 2018-11)Plantation forestry with non-native trees is steadily increasing in the southern hemisphere and alien pest problems are also accumulating, as a consequence of the growing international movement of people and goods. Here, ... -
Modelling the distribution of forest pest natural enemies across invaded areas: Towards understanding the influence of climate on parasitoid establishment success
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Classical biological control is a pest management practice frequently deployed against invasive insects. However, introduced natural enemies too often fail to establish, and this has been partly explained by climatic ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
Revisiting the influence of learning in predator functional response, how it can lead to shapes different from type III
(Wiley, 2022-02)Predator/parasitoid functional response is one of the main tools used to study predation behavior, and in assessing the potential of biological control candidates. It is generally accepted that predator learning in prey ... -
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
