Identification and impact of hyperparasitoids and predators affecting Cyzenis albicans (Tachinidae), a recently introduced biological control agent of winter moth (Operophtera brumata L.) in the northeastern U.S.A.

Abstract excerpt

The success or failure of an introduced biological control agent may depend on its rate of mortality from disease, predation, and hyperparasitism. Cyzenis albicans Fallén (Diptera: Tachinidae) was introduced to the northeastern U.S. as a biocontrol agent of the invasive species winter moth, Operophtera brumata L. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). This study aimed to determine the rates of mortality from predation by gen...
