[Objectives]The paper was to provide background information for ongoing research on relationship between smell and behavior of the green lacewing Chrysopa pallens( Rambur)( Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). [Methods]The ...
Chrysoperla externa is found in environment, their populations may experience several Brazilian agroecosystems and feeds on many agricultural pests. In each different environmental pressures that can favor the emergen...
The comprehensive knowledge that the delayed systemic and reproduction side effects can be even more deleterious than acute toxicity, has caused a shift in focus toward sublethal effects assessment on physiology and b...
Severalstudieshaveindicatedthatthegreenlacewing, Chrysoperlanipponensis (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) may include more than one valid species. We investigated the phylogenetic status of Chrysoperla nipponensis s.l. in ...
Understanding predator-prey interactions has a pivotal role in biological control programs. This study evaluated the functional response of three larval instars of the green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), ...
Energy budgets of larval stages of the Chinese green lacewing, Chrysopa sinica (Tjeder) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) were determined under laboratory conditions at photoperiod of 14:10 L:D, 27 ± 1℃ and 75% ± 2%...
The present study examined intraspecific interference and searching behavior of Chrysopa phyllochroma Wesmael (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) for Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae) nymphs under laboratory and gree...
