Is what you see what you get? The relationship between field observed and actual aphid parasitism rates in canola crops

S. E. Ward, P. A. Umina, H. Parry, A. Balfour-Cunningham, X. Cheng, T. Heddle, J. C. Holloway, C. Langley, D. Severtson, M. Van Helden, A. A. Hoffmann

The paper compares observed parasitism rates from field mummy counts with actual parasitism rates from laboratory-reared parasitoids in canola crops, finding actual rates are significantly higher than observed.

The effects of insecticide seed treatments on green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) parasitism by Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) and predation by Mallada signatus (Schneider) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

S. E. Ward, A. A. Hoffmann, M. Van Helden, P. A. Umina

This study examines how insecticide seed treatments affect parasitism by Aphidius colemani and predation by Mallada signatus on green peach aphids, finding immediate but short-lived effects on parasitoid fitness.
