Behavior was altered and survivorship was reduced when parasitoids, Anagyrus pseudococci (Girault) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), were fed flowers from buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum L. (Polygonaceae), treated with soil applications of imidacloprid (Marathon 1% G). Parasitoids at 1 d had significantly reduced survivorship of 38 +/- 6.7% on label rate and 17 +/- 4.2% on twice label rate compared wi...

Biodiversity loss and invasive species are exacting negative economic, environmental societal impacts. While the monetary aspects of invasion have been well-assessed, their impacts on human social livelihood outcomes routinely remain obscure. Here, we empirically demonstrate several important health demographic consequences a 1970s pest cassava across sub-Saharan Africa. Pest-induced crop in 18...

Abstract Anagyrus lopezi is a specialist parasitoid was introduced to Indonesia in 2014 control cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti. Plesiochrysa ramburi and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri are generalist predator insects associated with the mealybug. Intraguild predation crucial competition an insect community. The study objective investigate interference of both predators on healthy mealybug (un...
