A ‘Goldilocks’ hypothesis for dispersal of biological control agents (2011, background): “glycines in the north central United States, with several Asian hymenopteran parasitoid species collected or screened and one species (the braconid Binodoxys communis) released (Heimpel et al. 2004, 2010; Hoelmer and Kirk 2005; Wyckhuys and Heimpel 2007; Wyckhuys et al. 2007, 2008, 2009; Desneux et ”
Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, background): “Importation biological control has received considerable emphasis (Heimpel et al., 2004; Hoelmer and Kirk, 2005) because of the high levels of mortality induced by parasitoids (Liu et al.”
European buckthorn and Asian soybean aphid as components of an extensive invasional meltdown in North America (2010, background): “The latter has been hypothesized for B. communis based on the early timing of spring soybean colonization in China (Hoelmer and Kirk 2005), and the findings of both successful parasitism of alatoids and alate soybean aphids coupled with a significant developmental delay (Wyckhuys et al. 2008a, b).”
