Fundamental host range of Trissolcus japonicus in Europe

Fundamental indexation in Europe

We examine the benefits of fundamental indexation using European data. Our findings suggest that by re-weighting a capitalisation-weighted market index by certain fundamental values, it is possible to produce consistently higher returns and higher riskadjusted returns. Some of these fundamental portfolios produce consistent and significant benefits compared to the capitalisation-weighted portfo...

Attack and Success of Native and Exotic Parasitoids on Eggs of Halyomorpha halys in Three Maryland Habitats

Egg parasitoids of the exotic invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), were investigated using lab-reared fresh (live) and frozen (killed) lab-reared sentinel egg masses deployed for 72h on foliage in three habitats-woods, orchard, and soybean field-in Maryland, USA, in summer 2014. Four native hymenopteran species, Telenomus podisi Ashmead (Scelionidae), Trissolcus euschi...
