Kairomones are chemical signals that mediate interspecific interactions beneficial to
organisms that detect the cues. These attractants can be individual compounds or mixtures …

Summary (E)-β-farnesene (EBF) is an important chemical cue mediating interactions
between plants, aphids, and natural enemies. This chemical has two origins, being secreted …

Efficient prey or host search mechanisms are crucial for natural enemies' survival and
reproduction, and arthropod natural enemies may use chemical, visual, contact, and …

Urbanization can alter the composition of arthropod communities. However, little is known
about how urbanization affects ecological interactions. Using experimental colonies of the …

We report the results of a study investigating the influence of elevated CO2 on species
interactions across three trophic levels: a plant (Brassica oleracea), two aphid herbivores …

Wasps in the genus Sclerodermus are ectoparasitoids that typically attack the larvae of
woodboring coleopterans. Interest in these species is increasing as they are used in …

Abstract Dicyphus bolivari Lindberg and Dicyphus errans (Wolff)(Hemiptera: Miridae) are
naturally widespread in many crops with low-pesticide pressure, where they prey upon …

Unlike airborne signals, substrate-borne vibrational signals are confined within the size and
shape of their medium of communication, which in the case of small arthropods often …

Many parasitoids alter their reproductive behaviour in response to the quality of encountered
hosts. They make adaptive decisions concerning whether to parasitise a potential host, the …

Highlights•The reproductive biology of quasisocial Sclerodermus is complex among
parasitoids.•Cofoundresses sharing a single host restrain their clutch contributions.•Smaller …
