Females were given an opportunity to choose between two males. In the first test of female mate choice, one male carried...
متن کاملTrue bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) as psyllid predators (Hemiptera, Psylloidea)
Data on natural enemies of psyllids are rare and can usually be found in papers about economically significant species. During an investigation of psyllid fauna in Serbia, natural enemies were investigated, too. True bugs were the most numerous among them. From 28 psyllid species, 21 species of true bugs from families Anthocoridae and Miridae were reared. Seven species of Anthocoridae were iden...
