The Zoophytophagous Predator Nesidiocoris tenuis: A Successful But Controversial Biocontrol Agent in Tomato Crops (2016, background): “2013) but not without the availability of prey (Urbaneja-Bernat et al. 2013; Urbaneja et al. 2005).”
Zoophytophagy in the plantbug Nesidiocoris tenuis (2008, background): “Urbaneja et al. (2005) observed that N. tenuis did not complete development when feeding on tomato plants alone, and only one-third of the nymphs were able to survive through the third instar.”
Predation by Nesidiocoris tenuis on Bemisia tabaci and injury to tomato (2009, background): “Often cited with regard to its polyphagous habit (Goula 1985; Urbaneja et al. 2005) or zoophytophagous behaviour (Dolling 1991), N. tenuis has been observed to contribute to the control of whiteflies, thrips, leafminers, spidermites, and Lepidoptera species in greenhouses (Arzone et al. 1990; Calvo…”
Life history parameters for Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Het., Miridae) under different temperature regimes (2009, background): “Urbaneja et al. (2005) obtained similar values on tomato at 25 C (12.8 days).”
Suitability of the tomato borer Tuta absoluta as prey for Macrolophus pygmaeus and Nesidiocoris tenuis (2009, background): “: Miridae) are endemic natural enemies that commonly inhabit tomato crops in Spain (Alomar et al. 2002; Sánchez et al. 2003; Urbaneja et al. 2003, 2005; Stansly et al. 2004; Martinez-Cascales et al. 2006).”
