Neoseiulus baraki Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) has been reported from the Americas, Africa and Asia, often in association with Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Acari: Eriophyidae), one of the most important pests of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) in different parts of the world. That phytoseiid ha...

Mite fauna associated with Amaranthus cruentus L. and Solanum macrocarpon L., two major indigenous leafy vegetables produced in Benin, was monitored in July-October 2004, on IITA-Benin Station where no pesticides were applied and on a farmer-managed vegetable farm near Abomey-Calavi with pesticid...

Under attack by herbivores, plants produce a blend of“herbivore-inducedplant volatiles (HIPV)”that help natural enemies of herbivores locating their prey,thereby helping plants to reduce damage from herbivory. The amount of HIPVemitted by plants increases with herbivore density and is positively ...

BACKGROUND Intercropping can help reduce insect pest populations. However, the results of intercropping can be pest- and crop-species specific, with varying effects on crop yield, and pest suppression success. In Cameroon, okra vegetable is often grown in intercropped fields and sown with large ...

We applied time series analysis and a mechanistic predator-prey model to long-term data of monthly population counts of the herbivorous pest mite Mononychellus tanajoa and its introduced phytoseiid predator Typhlodromalus aripo from a cassava field in Benin, West Africa. In this approach, we dete...

To determine the impact of an acarine predator guild on the abundance of a shared herbivorous prey and its principal exotic predator, a series of surveys were conducted in ca. 200 cassava fields in swamp and non-swamp areas in southwestern Benin, West Africa. For each field, the surveys provided ...

Consideration of possible side-effects of exotic biological control agents on their new environments is a necessary step in classical biological control programs. The evaluation of such effects usually requires the knowledge of the fauna present in those environments prior to introduction of cont...

Intraguild predation, one aspect of predator–predator interaction, has received in recent years increasingly greater attention because of mounting evidence of the impact of predator–predator interactions on the structure of ecological communities and biological pest control. In laboratory experim...
