Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are an important cue used in herbivore location
by carnivorous arthropods such as parasitoids. The effects of plant volatiles on parasitoids …

▪ Abstract This article reviews the current state of knowledge concerning the nutrition of
entomophagous insects and other arthropods. Early nutritional investigations focused …

Feeding on Non-Prey Resources by Natural Enemies Moshe Coll Reports on the
consumption of non-prey food sources, particularly plant materials, by predators and …

In recent years, induced plant defenses have received widespread attention from biologists
in a variety of disciplines. The mechanisms underlying these defenses and the interactions …

The incorporation of plant diversity within agricultural systems has led to decreased insect
pest densities in approximately 50% of studies in which monocultures and polycultures were …

This paper demonstrates the necessity to consider plants as an essential and interactive
component of biological control practices. Plants not only possess direct chemical and …

The majority of predators and parasitoids require non-prey food as part of their diet. The
availability of suitable non-prey food can impact predator–prey and parasitoid–host …

Models and empirical studies on host selection in plant–insect, alga–amphipod, host–
parasite and prey–predator systems assume that oviposition preference is determined by …

The current approach for studying host selection by phytophagous insects is mainly based
on optimal oviposition theory, ie the preference–performance hypothesis. Almost no …

Hermetia illucens, is used as a reducing agent of palm kernel meal (PKM), as well as one of
alternative protein sources for aquaculture purposes. Information about biology of H. illucens …
