Research on interspecific competitive interactions among insect parasitoids has often been characterized by laboratory studies in which host insects are exposed to female parasitoids of different species in various sequences and combinations. In the last years, an increasing number of studies have investigated interspecific interactions under field and semi-field conditions although just a few ...

Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Doğu Asya (Çin, Japonya, Kore ve Tayvan) kökenli bir türdür doğal yaşam alanlarında önemli polifag zararlı olup, yayılış gösterdiği alanları kısa zaman içerisinde yüksek popülasyon meydana getirerek istila etmekte tarımsal üretim için tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Türkiye’de özellikle Karadeniz sahil şeridi boyunca alanlar başta fındık olmak üzere pek çok ü...

Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are polyphagous pests that disperse from woodland habitats into crops following food availability. Black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.; Rosaceae) is common in the southeast US. In this 3-yr study, our principal objective was to determine if black acts as a reproductive host well source of for stink adjacent Georgia, USA. Each yr, trees were examined visually...

The quality of hosts for a parasitoid wasp may be influenced by attributes such as host size or species, with high successful development usually coincident larger offspring. This is not always the case: Scelionid Trissolcus basalis, oviposition in eggs Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Halyomorpha halys, rather than normal host, Southern Green Nezara viridula, leads to lower offspring survival, but ...
