Data from: Using flower strips to promote green lacewings to control cabbage insect pests [Dataset] Open
The dataset contains six objects: 1) Visual sampling data (section 2.2), 2) Suction sampling data (section 2.3), 3) Pollen-foraging preference assay number and volume of pollen grains data (section 2.4) and 4) Number and volume of pollen g…

Root-associated entomopathogenic fungi manipulate host plants to attract herbivorous insects Open
Root-associated entomopathogenic fungi (R-AEF) indirectly influence herbivorous insect performance. However, host plant-R-AEF interactions and R-AEF as biological control agents have been studied independently and without much attention to…

A first approach to pest management strategies using trap crops in organic carrot fields Open
Cultural control methods in integrated pest management (IPM) refer to practices that modify the agricultural environment in ways that favour crop protection to the detriment of pest performance. Trap cropping is one of these practices and …

Spider Communities and Biological Control in Native Habitats Surrounding Greenhouses Open
The promotion of native vegetation as a habitat for natural enemies, which could increase their abundance and fitness, is especially useful in highly simplified settings such as Mediterranean greenhouse landscapes. Spiders as generalist pr…

Habitat selection of a parasitoid mediated by volatiles informing on host and intraguild predator densities Open
To locate and evaluate host patches before oviposition, parasitoids of herbivorous insects utilize plant volatiles and host-derived cues, but also evaluate predator-derived infochemicals to reduce predation risks. When foraging in host hab…
