“…All aphids (including mummies) and hatched parasitoids and most hyperparasitoids were identified by species level if possible or otherwise by genus level. The aphids were identified by Nicolás Pérez Hidalgo, the parasitoids (Braconidae: Aphidiinae) by José M. Michelena Saval and the hyperparasitoids (Hymenoptera) by Mar Ferrer Suay (Cynipoidea: Figitidae: Charipinae), Emilio Guerrieri (Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae) and Agnès Salat Moltó (Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae, Aphelinidae; Ceraphronoidea: Megaspilidae) using specific bibliography for each group [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ].…”

Differences in the semi-natural vegetation of field margins will affect the biological control services derived from the presence of these semi-natural habitats adjacent to fields. Of the plant functional traits that are most relevant for insects, plant life forms reflect different aspects of plant structure and functioning that can help predict the value of marginal vegetation for arthropods in agricultural systems. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the vegetation structure of field margins on cereal aphids and on some of their natural enemies (parasitoids, hoverflies and ladybugs) in terms of plant life forms. We characterized margin vegetation using the relative cover of each life form and sampled insects in crops along transects parallel to field margins. Our results show that in the studied areas, the abundance of natural enemies was greater near margins dominated by annual plants than in margins dominated by perennial plants. On the other hand, the abundances of aphids and parasitism rates were higher near margins dominated by perennial woody plants than near margins dominated by perennial herbaceous plants. By promoting specific life forms in existing margins, farmers can enhance the conservation biological control and relieve aphid pressure on their crops.

“…Parasitoid specimens were identified based on species descriptions and keys (Pennacchio, 1989; Tomanović et al, 2003; Kavallieratos et al, 2008; Starý & Lukáš, 2009; Tomanović et al, 2014; Tomanović et al, 2018; Santos et al, 2019). Hyperparasitoids were identified with taxonomy keys and descriptions (Ferrer‐Suay et al, 2019; Santos et al, 2020). Insects were deposited at Entomology Collection of Embrapa Trigo, Passo Fundo, RS, Brazil (faithful keeper), besides that, a reference collection of cereal aphid parasitoids (double mounting) was deposited at Museum of Natural Sciences of Secretariat for the Environment and Infrastructure (SEMA), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil.…”

1. In the 1970s, cereal aphids populations (specially Metopolophium dirhodum) were out of balance in the subtropical region of South America and a successful biological control program with the introduction of parasitoids restored equilibrium. After that, changes in crop systems may have affected aphid-parasitoid communities.2. The objective of this work was to evaluate the current assemblage of cereal aphid parasitoids, describing their oscillations, parasitism level, and trophic relationships in food webs in a cereal succession system (wheat-corn-oat) currently adopted in this region.3. Over a year, the associated parasitoid/hyperparasitoid species were inventoried by field-exposed Rhopalosiphum padi, Schizaphis graminum, M. dirhodum, and Sitobion avenae (recruitment method) and by Moericke traps. 4. Six species of primary parasitoids were sampled in both aphids and traps with the same abundance sequence: A. platensis, A. rhopalosiphi, L. testaceipes, D. rapae, A. uzbekistanicus, and A. ervi.5. Parasitism and complexity of food webs were higher during the wheat season (winter-spring), decreasing in corn (summer) and increasing again in oat (autumn).6. In the current assemblage of cereal aphid parasitoids in the subtropical region of South America, three species of parasitoids that were already present before the biological control program and three that were introduced oscillate in abundance throughout the year, resulting in an alternation of the complexity of the food webs and in the levels of parasitism in the crop seasons. A. platensis and A. rhopalosiphi are the most abundant species and A. rhopalosiphi remains fundamental in the control of M. dirhodum and S. avenae.

“…Females and males were morphologically identical except for antennomere number and where indicated. Alloxysta species were identified using the Keys for the World Charipinae (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) (Ferrer-Suay et al 2019) and the Interactive Charipinae Worldwide Database (Ferrer-Suay 2019).…”
