Egg volatiles of oak silkworm mediate defense against parasitoid wasps
We report that eggs of the oak silkworm (Antheraea pernyi) are associated with a volatile compound, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2EH), which effectively repels egg parasitoids. This egg-associated compound act...

The absolute JOY and EXCITEMENT I feel at Gerben Messelink discussing the potential of my favourite micro-ladybird Scymnus interruptus in greenhouse biocontrol. I might get to hang with this wonderful creature professionally and research it. So awesome. #IOBC-WRPS #BiologicalControl

Excited to be in Netherlands for IOBC Greenhouse WGM 2026 - looking forward to a few days all about biological control on protected crops. And meeting all sorts of people in the field - research, biocontrol providers, growers, agronomists, etc.! #IOBC #BiologicalControl #ProtectedCropping
