A preliminary framework to model wing polyphenism in aphids threatened by predators In this study, we integrate population theory with experimental data from the literature and from our laboratory experiments to develop a preliminary predator–prey model. This model investigates wing ...

Are #predator-prey interactions influencing the wing development and consequential spread of #aphids?

Check out the interesting results from this preliminary #predator-prey #model that used the aphid 𝘔𝘺𝘻𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘦 as a model species👇

Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield Fertilization level influences pest control effectiveness in tomato crops. High fertilization increases plant growth and aphid density but reduces the performance of the parasitoid Aphidius ervi. In ...

Don’t know if it works adding tags afterwards but out of space.

Oh and don’t judge me for still being in bed, helluva week, just gone downstairs to make more espresso, and some toast to bring back to my wife in bed!

Study Finds Pesticide-Free and Organic Fields Promote Arthropod Biodiversity and Natural Pest Management - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog A French study finds that arthropod biodiversity is enhanced in pesticide-free fields, allowing for ecosystem services of biological control.

Researchers from #France find #pesticide-free fields promote #carabidbeetles and #spiders, generalist arthropod predators that #consume slugs, #aphids, and mites, that in turn support healthy, #organic systems. #biodiversity #pestmanagement #dailynews ➡️ Blog: ow.ly/3NGG50YclFe

Our new study on the overwintering ecology of Myzus persicae is out 🎉
Winter host plant choice strongly affects aphid survival & performance—and Virus Yellows risk in sugar beet.
Including winter hosts in forecasting models can strengthen sustainable IPM and reduce insecticide use 🌱

This last picture also has some well camouflaged hangers on, although with the number of blue titmice in the garden, I don't think the aphids will go unnoticed for long.

A photo (taken through a hand-held magnifying glass) of some green flower buds, of a NZ native herb Senecio glomeratus, and a cluster of all-black aphids feeding on it. These are the American ragwort aphid, Senecio lugentis. More details of this observation and a higher resolution photo are at https://inaturalist.nz/observations/322653324

The American ragwort aphid is now up in the Christchurch Port Hills where it's feeding on native senecio plants. 😔

The species arrived in the city in autumn of 2019 and has been spreading since then. I found it last week on the top of Sugarloaf, which is the […]
