Internship: Predation of different predatory mites on Western flower thrips at low temperatures (at Koppert)
Western glower thrips (WFT) is a pest in many protected crops including some that are grown at relatively low temperatures like for instance strawberries. Koppert has different predatory mites for the control of WFT in its portfo ...

Flying insect biomass and community assembly across a land-use gradient in the Dutch Flower Bulb Region
Where biodiversity loss has on average been halted in nature reserves, biodiversity of rural areas keeps declining. The larger aim of this project (Living Lab B7 https://www.Livinglabb7.nl) is to enhance biodiversity in the rural ...

NEW!! THIS SUMMER: The plant-mediated ecological effect of parasitoids and their symbionts
Parasitoid wasps are commonly used as biocontrol agents. A lot of research has been done on how the environment influences these wasps. For example, plants execute “a cry for help” when under herbivore attack to attract the wasps ...

How does landscape composition shape the community of natural enemies of a major coffee pest? (NEW)
The worldwide sustainability of coffee production is threatened by pests, diseases, and global warming. In Colombia, the Coffee Berry Borer (CBB) is a major pest problem. This beetle reduces crop yield and quality by drilling the ...

Functional analysis of candidate genes for wing morphology in the jewel wasp Nasonia vitripennis
Wing morphology is an important trait underlying flight ability in Pterygote insects. To investigate the genetic basis of wing morphology, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for wing morphology and body size in an ...

De-evolution of the wing: functional analysis of candidate genes for wing morphology in the wasp Nasonia vitripennis
Wing morphology is an important trait underlying insectsï¿½ flight ability and ultimately several aspects of their ecology. To investigate the genetic basis of wing morphology, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) i ...

Intercropping increases biocontrol by enhancing honeydew availability and quality
Intercropping has often shown improved biological control compared to monoculture. However, these effects are not consistent and appear to be context and species-dependent. In order to achieve more reliable outcomes, a better unde ...
