Diversity and bioindicators of natural enemies in organic paddy fields implementing habitat modification by Setyadin Yuris, Leksono Amin Setyo, Tarno Hagus

“…Results showed that habitat modification with BF balanced the visiting patterns of herbivorous, predatory, parasitoid, and pollinator insects. The importance value index of predatory insects was higher in plots using habitat modification (PV = 44.65%, and PG = 46.04%) compared to plots without habitat modification (KV = 37.71%, and KG = 38.54%). …”

Heat and Cold Shocks Decrease the Incidence of Diapause in <i>Trichogramma telengai</i> Larvae by Natalia D. Voinovich, Sergey Y. Reznik

“…Our laboratory experiments showed that both cold (−10 °C) and heat (43 °C) shocks experienced for at least 20–30 min significantly reduced the incidence of facultative larval winter diapause in the insect egg parasitoid <i>Trichogramma telengai</i>. However, the patterns of these responses were substantially different. …”
