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). …”

A taste for fruit: first record of Rekoa marius (Lucas, 1857) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Eumaeini) on Averrhoa carambola L. (Oxalidales: Oxalidaceae) by Suianne Cajé, Jefferson Duarte-de-Mélo, Ayane Suênia-Bastos, Iracilda Maria de Moura Lima

“…Pupae with egress holes of different diameters were found, probably of parasitoids. Since Oxalidaceae species are rich in oxalic acid, R. marius may be a potential model for future studies on the mechanisms involved in the response of this species to oxalic acid present in its host plant.…”

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.…”

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. …”
