A Guide to Planting Wildflower Enhancements in Florida by Mary C. Bammer, Josh Campbell, Chase B. Kimmel, James D.. Ellis, Jaret C. Daniels

“… The establishment of native wildflower plantings in Florida can benefit agricultural producers as well as native pollinators and other beneficial insects (predators and parasitoids). The plantings do this by:  • providing forage and nesting sites for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, • increasing wild bee numbers possibly across the farm, and • increasing natural enemies of insect pests (that also depend on forage and nesting sites). …”

Reproductive Interference and Niche Partitioning in Aphidophagous Insects by Suzuki Noriyuki, Naoya Osawa

“…Finally, we show that intraguild predation cannot always explain the niche partitioning in aphidophagous insects including hoverflies and parasitoids. On the basis of the evidence presented, we urge that future studies investigating predator communities should take account of the role of reproductive interference.…”

Drill on drill: adaptive oviposition strategies of Sycophila and Physothorax wasps on Ficus citrifolia by Leví Oliveira Barros, Sergio Jansen-González, Rodrigo Augusto Santinelo Pereira

“…ABSTRACT Understanding tri-trophic interactions and the relationship among plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies is fundamental to advancing theoretical and practical ecology. Parasitoidism is among those interactions where tri-trophic levels are usually developed, with hyperparasitism and kleptoparasitism as examples. …”

Evaluación de la capacidad reguladora del moscardón cazador de abejas Mallophora ruficunda (Diptera: Asilidae) sobre los gusanos blancos del suelo (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by M.K. Castelo, J.C. Corley

“…Esta limitación, posiblemente vinculada a que el parasitoide coloca sus huevos lejos del hospedador, sugiere que las acciones de control que se realizan sobre sus poblaciones para disminuir su impacto sobre la apicultura, tendrían mínimas consecuencias sobre la dinámica poblacional de estos coleópteros.…”

Diversity of Hymenoptera in Indonesian Rice Agroecosystems: A Systematic Review of Species Composition and Ecological Roles by Zahlul Ikhsan

“…A strong positive correlation was found between Hymenoptera diversity and pest suppression rates, particularly during the reproductive stage of rice growth. Parasitoids and predators played dominant roles in controlling key rice pests.Conserving Hymenoptera diversity through sustainable farming practices is crucial for reducing chemical inputs, improving pest control, and enhancing the resilience of rice agroecosystems. …”
