Investigation on the mutualistic interactions of ant species and the aphids, Cinara spp. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Pinus mugo trees in urban green space of Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan, Iran
Mutualism is an interaction in which two species provide benefits for each other. Ant-aphid associations play an important role on the biological control of aphid pests, as ants’ defence against natural enemies of aphids may reduce efficiency...
Response of aphidophagous hoverflies (Diptera, syrphidae) to herbicide in winter wheat
the influence of herbicides on abundance of aphidophagous hoverflies as well as aphids in wheat fields. to do this, a 20-ha wheat field was divided into 6 equal sized plots. a broadleaf selective herbicide was applieed to 3 of these, and the other 3 plots were...
