• Prospects for predatory mirid bugs as biocontrol agents of aphids in sweet peppers (2015, background): “Generalist zoophytophagous predators can use various food resources, such as alternative prey, and can feed on plant material, which further facilitates their establishment prior to pest infestation and their maintenance in the crop during periods of prey scarcity, resulting in crop systems that are”

• Natural enemies of the South American moth, Tuta absoluta, in Europe, North Africa and Middle East, and their potential use in pest control strategies (2013, background): “…with contrasting results (Arnó et al. 2009; Abbes and Chermiti 2012; Nannini et al. 2012; Trottin-Caudal et al. 2012), it often prompts insecticide applications at high densities due to damages caused to plants and fruits (e.g. Calvo et al. 2009; Arnó et al. 2010; Castañé et al. 2011).”
• Defensive plant responses induced by Nesidiocoris tenuis (Hemiptera: Miridae) on tomato plants (2015, background): “…by N. tenuis could simply be the response of the tomato plant to water-content reduction (and logically other supplementary nutrients) caused by feeding of N. tenuis, which is mostly detectable in the form of necrotic rings in the apical stems of the plant (Castañé et al. 2011).”
