Host location by hyperparasitoids
We found that hyperparsitoids, the fourth trophic level enemies of parasitoids, find their host (larvae or pupae of parasitoids) by using herbivore induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). The HIPVs of plants damaged by parasitized and un ...

Ecology of host-tick-pathogen interactions
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is among the most important vector-borne diseases in Europe and Eurasia. Both the distribution and number of cases have increased during the past decades, and the virus is now also endemic in t ...

Ecology of larvae and egg-laying behaviour of malaria mosquitoes
Integrated vector management requires the understanding of vector ecology, predation and parasitism for sustainable mosquito control. In nature larval breeding sites in which female mosquitoes deposit their eggs, exert a strong se ...

Selective breeding of wingless two-spot ladybird beetles
Wingless two spot ladybirds have submaximal fitness compared to the wildtype. In order to produce a maximally effective mass rearing and use in biocontrol, it is important to selectively breed for traits that minimize the shortcom ...

Genetic and environmental influence on color in ladybird beetles
Ladybird beetles are often brightly colored, likely mainly to advertise their untasteful or even toxic properties to potential predators. Across and within species, color patterns vary wildly. Especially the exotic ladybird beetle ...

Flight ability of wingless mutant ladybird beetles
In the Netherlands and also in the UK, natural mutant two-spot ladybird beetles have been found in the wild that have reduced elytra and flight wings. In the past, the genetic basis of this wingless-ness has been studied (and it s ...
