Mortality dynamics and population regulation in Bemisia tabaci (2005, background): “A large and diverse assemblage of predators, parasitoids, and pathogens are also known to attack B. tabaci (Faria & Wraight, 2001; Gerling et al., 2001; Naranjo, 2001).”
History, current status and collaborative research projects for Bemisia tabaci (2001, background): “High levels of indigenous natural enemy activity have been identified in cotton, vegetable, and peanut ecosystems, suggesting that natural enemy augmentation and conservation approaches may be important avenues for exploitation in management in the future (Gerling et al., 2001; Naranjo, 2001).”
Suitability of the tomato borer Tuta absoluta as prey for Macrolophus pygmaeus and Nesidiocoris tenuis (2009, background): “This pest occurs throughout the entire growing cycle of tomatoes, destined to fresh market and processing, and larval feeding can cause losses of up to 100% by attacking leaves, flowers, stems and, especially fruits (López 1991; Apablaza 1992; Barrientos et al. 1998; Guilardón et al. 2001).”
A ‘Goldilocks’ hypothesis for dispersal of biological control agents (2011, background): “…while augmentative biological control efforts of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci using the aphelinid parasitoid Eretmocerus eremicus have been quite effective (Hoddle et al. 1998; Gerling et al. 2001), open-field releases with this species have met with considerably less success (Bellamy et al. 2004).”
Scale insects, mealybugs, whiteflies and psyllids (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha) as prey of ladybirds (2009, background): “Although considerable research has focused on their parasitoids, there are only a few reviews on biological control of whiteflies by predators, all dealing with Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Gerling, 1986; Nordlund and Legaspi, 1996; Gerling et al., 2001; Gould et al., 2008).”
Host plants and natural enemies of Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in China (2011, background): “…technologies have now become the main areas of research in B. tabaci management studies over the last two decades (Huang & Polaszek, 1998; Gerling et al., 2001; Ren et al., 2001; Huang, 2002; Cuthbertson & Walters, 2005; Qiu et al., 2007b, 2008; Cuthbertson et al., 2008, 2010; Stansly &…”
Long-Term Assessment of the Effects of Transgenic Bt Cotton on the Function of the Natural Enemy Community (2005, methodology): “Because many predator taxa are known to prey on B. tabaci (Gerling et al. 2001, Naranjo 2001), an unweighted predator:prey ratio also was estimated based on the summed density of all predator taxa sampled to all life stages ofB. tabaci combined per leaf.”
Conservation and evaluation of natural enemies in IPM systems for Bemisia tabaci (2001, methodology): “Efforts in augmentation have primarily focused on protected agricultural systems (e.g., van Lenteren et al., 1997; Hoddle et al., 1998; Gerling et al., 2001), although some research has examined the potential utility and efficacy of augmentation in field crops (e.g., Heinz et al., 1999; Simmons and…”
IPM for Bemisia tabaci: a case study from North America☆ (2001, methodology): “tabaci have been reviewed elsewhere in this volume (Bellotti and Arias, 2001; Faria and Wraight, 2001; Gerling et al., 2001; Hilje et al., 2001; Morales, 2001; Naranjo, 2001; Palumbo et al., 2001).”
Biological control of Bemisia tabaci with fungi (2001, background): “The importance of predators and parasitoids has been discussed elsewhere (Gerling, 1990; Heinz, 1996; Nordlund and Legaspi, 1996, Gerling et al., 2001; Naranjo, 2001).”
