Predicting suitable habitats for the Brazilian peppertree biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) in Florida Invasive plants are rapidly entering new ecosystems due to globalisation, increased trade, and frequent disturbances of natural habitats. Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi, known as the Brazilian peppe...

Assessing Pseudophilothrips ichini (Hood) development when reared on Brazilian peppertree grown in brackish environments: Biocontrol Science and Technology: Vol 0, No 0 - Get Access

New paper out of the #Minteerlab from our postdoc, Dr. Telmadarrehei! These data show that the Brazilian peppertree thrips should survive in areas with brackish water. This is good news for control of Brazilian peppertree in mangroves! #UFBugs #UFBiocontrol www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
