cultivars differing in leaf morphology (shape and pubescence) to the B biotype of sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and impacts on its parasitoids. Five cotton cultivars were evaluated ...

While their full range of impacts is not yet understood, these bacteria typically provide some defense against environmental pressures, like parasites and parasitoids – parasites that kill their hosts ...

We sampled 42,620 cynipid galls of 176 morphotypes from 23 host plant species, yielding over 4500 specimens of 64 parasitoid morphospecies. Many parasitoids were identifiable to chalcidoid taxa ...

It’s just an ordinary day in the world of insects, where an estimated 10 percent — about 120,000 species — are parasitoids (pronounced pare-uh-si-TOID). That is, they occupy and live off a ...

“Pesticides don’t just kill pests; they also harm beneficial insects like pollinators and parasitoids,” she notes. “Overusing them [pesticides] is like overusing antibiotics. You kill the ...
