Aphid predators in citrus crops: the least voracious predators are the most effective

Bouvet, Juan Pedro; Urbaneja, Alberto; Monzó, César (Springer, 2020-07)

Rich and abundant predator complexes are frequently associated with aphids in perennial agroecosystems. The ability of these predators to successfully suppress aphid populations is nevertheless highly variable. The development ...
Contribution of predation to the biological control of a key herbivorous pest in citrus agroecosystems

Bouvet, Juan Pedro; Urbaneja, Alberto; Pérez‐Hedo, Meritxell; Monzó, César (Wiley, 2019-03-21)

Biological control has traditionally simplified the view of trophic relationships between herbivorous pests and their natural enemies in agriculture. The success or failure of this pest management strategy is still mainly ...
Life history traits of the coccinellids Scymnus subvillosus and S. interruptus on their prey Aphis spiraecola and A. gossypii: Implications for biological control of aphids in clementine citrus

Bouvet, Juan Pedro; Urbaneja, Alberto; Monzó, César (Elsevier, 2019-05)

Predator-prey interactions are not static, but spatially and temporally dynamic. In addition to the climatic conditions and the prey density, the dynamics of predator populations may be influenced by the suitability of ...
