Host selection and potential non-target risk of Dastarcus helophoroides, a larval parasitoid of the Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis
TL;DR: Prolonged development and smaller body sizes of D. helophoroides emerging from EAB may indicate this species is not likely to be an optimal host and that frass packing behaviors of EAB must be reduced to reduce its risk of parasitism by D. Helophoroide.

Collecting Nontarget Wood-Boring Insects for Host-Specificity Testing of Natural Enemies of Cerambycids: A Case Study of Dastarcus helophoroides (Coleoptera: Bothrideridae), a Parasitoid of the Asian Longhorned Beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

TL;DR: Tests indicate that many native cerambycids native to North America would be vulnreable to D. helophoroides, but this species should not be considered for release as a biocontrol agent in North America.

Laboratory adaptation of a native North American parasitoid to an exotic wood-boring beetle: implications for biological control of invasive pests
Julian R. Golec,Julian R. Golec,Julian R. Golec,Jian J. Duan,Kaitlin Rim,Kaitlin Rim,Judith Hough-Goldstein,Ellen Aparicio +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that continuously rearing of a generalist parasitoids on a newly acquired novel host can enhance host parasitism rates, parasitoid development, and fitness and thus may improve the efficacy of new-association biocontrol.

Biology and Management of Clover Root Curculio (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
TL;DR: Potential ecological management strategies (e.g., crop rotation, planting dates, resistant host varieties), biological control agents, and insecticide options are described as key components of an integrated pest management program against CRC in U.S. alfalfa.
