Thrips: Pests of Concern to China and the United States (2011, background): “High levels of female fecundity lead to high intrinsic rates of population increase, so that populations can increase rapidly (Gaum et al. 1994; Gerin et al. 1994; Hulshof et al. 2003).”
Biology, Crop Injury, and Management of Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Infesting Cotton Seedlings in the United States (2011, background): “Others have reported that natural enemies play a small role in suppressing thrips populations in field crops and that biological control of thrips is difficult in field crops and success varies among crops (Parrella and Lewis 1997, Hulshof et al. 2003).”
Biology and Ecology of the Western Flower Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae): The Making of a Pest (2009, background): “This high level of fecundity leads to high intrinsic rates of population increase, so uncontrolled populations can multiply rapidly (Gaum et al. 1994; Gerin et al. 1994; Hulshof et al. 2003).”
Life history of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysan., Thripae), on five different vegetable leaves (2007, background): “They prefer to live and feed on flowers (Pickett et al. 1988; Rosenheim et al. 1990) and experience high reproduction rates in the presence of pollen (Hulshof et al. 2003).”
