Effect of rearing Cactoblastis cactorum on an artificial diet on the behaviour of Apanteles opuntiarum
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-05)
Cactoblastis cactorum's unintended arrival to Florida and its expansion in North America represent a threat to Opuntia-based agriculture and natural ecosystems in the United States and Mexico. Apanteles opuntiarum attacks ...
DNA barcoding and morphological identification of Argentine species of Apanteles (Hymenoptera:Braconidae), parasitoids of cactus-feeding moths (Lepidoptera:Pyralidae:Phycitinae), with description of a new species
(Csiro Publishing, 2012-12)
The gregarious species of Apanteles that attack cactus-feeding phycitine moths (Lepidoptera:Pyralidae) from Argentina are identified using DNA barcodes and morphological data. Sequences of specimens from 10 different ...
Field host range of Apanteles opuntiarum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in Argentina, a potential biocontrol agent of Cactoblastis cactorum (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in North America
(Florida Entomological Society, 2015-06)
Field exploration in Argentina for cactophagous lepidopteran hosts parasitized by the recently described braconid parasitoid Apanteles opuntiarum Martínez & Berta (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) revealed a host range restricted ...
Uses of Opuntia species and the potential impact of Cactoblastis cactorum (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Mexico
(2001)
In Mexico, cactus pears (Opuntia spp.) are regarded as very important plants, especially in semi-arid and arid regions where few crops can be cultivated. Historically, Mexicans have used cactus pears for food, as fodder ...

Extremely reduced sexual reproduction in the clonal cactus Echinopsis thelegona
(Springer Wien, 2013-04)
Sexual and asexual reproduction may occur simultaneously in some plant species. Under certain environmental conditions asexual reproduction is predominant, which generates ecological consequences on sexual fecundity. In ...
Spatial and host related genomic variation in partially sympatric cactophagous moth species
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-10)
Surveys of patterns of genetic variation in natural sympatric and allopatric populations of recently diverged species are necessary to understand the processes driving intra- and interspecific diversification. The South ...
Local dispersal pathways during the invasion of the cactus moth, Cactoblastis cactorum, within North America and the Caribbean
(Nature Research, 2020-07-03)
Cactoblastis cactorum, a species of moth native to Argentina, feeds on several prickly pear cactus species (Opuntia) and has been successfully used as a biological control of invading Opuntia species in Australia, South ...
