Human land use threatens global biodiversity and compromises multiple ecosystem functions critical to food production. Whether crop yield-related ecosystem services can be maintained by a few dominant species or rely on ...

Biology and management of the New Zealand endemic wheat bug, Nysius huttoni (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae)

Tiwari, Sundar; Wratten, Stephen D. (Entomological Society of America, 2019-11-17)

The wheat bug, Nysius huttoni White, mainly reported as a pest of wheat and forage brassicas, is native to New Zealand. This pest has been accidentally introduced into The Netherland and Belgium during apple exports from ...

Preferences of the wheat bug (Nysius huttoni) for particular growth stages of the potential trap crop, alyssum (Lobularia maritima)

Tiwari, Sundar; Saville, D. J.; Wratten, Stephen D. (New Zealand Plant Protection Society, 2019-07-28)

The New Zealand endemic wheat bug, Nysius huttoni (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), is a pest of brassica seedlings. However, it has a wide host range comprising almost all cultivated brassicas, cereals and many other cultivated ...

Global disparity in public awareness of the biological control potential of invertebrates

Wyckhuys, K. A. G.; Pozsgai, G.; Lovei, G. L.; Vasseur, L.; Wratten, Stephen D.; Gurr, G. M.; Reynolds, O. L.; Goettel, M. (Elsevier, 2019-04-10)

Invertebrates make up over 95% of animal biodiversity on Earth and contribute to multiple ecosystem services (ES) in natural and human-dominated systems. One such service, biological control (BC) of herbivorous pests, is ...
