A method for sampling parasitized Drosophila suzukii puparia from soil

C. Capko, J. Thiessen, L. Harach, J. L. Fraser, M. T. Franklin, P. K. Abram

The paper introduces a method to sample parasitized Drosophila suzukii puparia from soil, revealing overwintering parasitoid species previously undetected.

Supplemental LED lighting improves plant growth without affecting biological control in a tri-trophic greenhouse system

J. L. Fraser, P. K. Abram, M. Dorais

The study shows that extended LED lighting increases plant biomass without impacting aphid population density or parasitoid biological control in a greenhouse tri-trophic system.

The effects of LED daylength extensions on the fecundity of the pest aphid Myzus persicae and the daily activity patterns of its parasitoid, Aphidius matricariae

J. L. Fraser, P. K. Abram, M. Dorais

This study examines how different LED daylength extensions affect the fecundity of aphids and the activity patterns of their parasitoid in greenhouses.

Sticky Pi, an AI-powered smart insect trap for community chronoecology

Q. Geissmann, P. K. Abram, D. Wu, C. H. Haney, J. Carrillo

The Sticky Pi trap uses AI to monitor insect activity patterns, revealing daily rhythms and community temporal niches without targeting specific species.

Protective geometry and reproductive anatomy as candidate determinants of clutch size variation in pentatomid bugs

P. K. Abram, E. Guerra-Grenier, J. Brodeur, C. Capko, M. F. S. Aquino, B. Beers, M. C. Blassioli-Moraes, M. Borges, M. F. Cingolani, A. Cusumano, P. DeClercq, C. A. Fernandez, T. D. Gariepy, T. Haye, K. Hoelmer, , I. C. W. Hardy

The paper investigates clutch size variation in pentatomid bugs, finding that reproductive anatomy, specifically ovariole number, plays a more significant role than egg mass geometry in determining clutch size uniformity.

Partial refuges from biological control due to intraspecific variation in protective host traits: a case study with the egg parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus

P. K. Abram, T. Haye, P. Clarke, E. Grove, J. Thiessen, T. D. Gariepy

The paper investigates how intraspecific variation in host traits affects refuge size for natural enemies, using Trissolcus japonicus and stink bugs as a case study, finding no significant refuge effect on non-target species.

Adventive larval parasitoids reconstruct their close association with spotted-wing drosophila in the invaded North American range

P. K. Abram, M. T. Franklin, T. Hueppelsheuser, J. Carrillo, E. Grove, P. Eraso, S. Acheampong, L. Keery, P. Girod, M. Tsuruda, M. Clausen, M. Buffington, C. E. Moffat

The study documents the widespread and high parasitism of Drosophila suzukii by two introduced parasitoids in North America, showing their close association with the host has been reconstructed.

An effective cold storage method for stockpiling Halyomorpha halys eggs for field surveys and laboratory rearing of Trissolcus japonicus

W. H. L. Wong, M. A. Walz, A. B. Oscienny, J. L. Sherwood, P. K. Abram

This paper demonstrates that refrigerating Halyomorpha halys eggs at 8°C for up to two months is more effective for Trissolcus japonicus parasitism than freezing, with minimal sublethal effects on the parasitoid.
