Ecological theory predicts, and empirical research shows, that species sharing the same
trophic level as a target species (hereafter controphic species) can have large direct and …

Cyclopoid copepods have proved more effective for practical mosquito control than any
other invertebrate predator of mosquito larvae. Their operational potential is enhanced by …

The employ of nano-formulated biopesticides for mosquito control represents a promising
strategy. Recently, it has been outlined that differences in the green reducing extracts used …

Control efforts against the vectors of such tropical diseases as malaria, dengue, Zika, along
with many others, have up to now relied heavily on the use of insecticides for both, vector …

Predation potential of the larval odonates Ceriagrion coromandelianum and Brachydiplax
chalybea chalybea on the II and IV instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus was evaluated …

Understanding the factors that determine the strength of predator–prey interactions is
essential to understanding community structure and stability. Variation in the strength of …

An estimation of the predatory efficiency of the nymphs of five coexisting odonate species
Aeshna flavifrons, Coenagrion kashmirum, Ischnura forcipata, Rhinocypha ignipennis and …

The role of aquatic predators in controlling the anopheline aquatic stage has been known for
decades. Recently, studies have highlighted that exposition to predation stress during …

The article reviews predators that are able to control populations of mosquito larvae
(Culicidae) in phytotelmata and their anthropogenic analogs. The spectrum of mosquito …

The effects of alternative prey and structural complexity of habitat on the selection of
mosquito larvae by aquatic insect predators were evaluated in the laboratory. The water …
