The role of glyphosate-resistant weeds and starvation on biological, reproductive, and preference parameters of (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

Glyphosate-resistant weeds are difficult to manage and can serve as hosts for pests that threaten cultivated crops. (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is one of the main polyphagous pests of soybean in Brazil that can benefit from weeds' presence during season and off-season. Despite its pest status, little is known about survival and development on alternative hosts, including those resistant to glyphosate.

Can larval feeding influence chemotaxis and parasitism of and ?

Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major barrier to fruit production and exportation. In Brazil, the native parasitoid Aganaspis pelleranoi (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) and the exotic parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) stand out as biological control agents. Knowledge of the factors that affect interactions among parasitoids, A.
