Exploring the potential for the selective breeding of Nesidiocoris tenuis: a study of its genetics and feeding behavior

Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a cosmopolitan zoophytophagous predator, which zoophagy and phytophagy have given it both the status as biocontrol agent and pest, respectively. Thus, it fits into the category of biocontrol agents with traits that hinder its performance. In regio...
