Abstract
The scelionid parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston,1858) has been detected in Belgium for the first time based on specimens reared from a parasitized egg mass of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus,1758) collected in an urban garden at Sint-Amandsberg, Ghent. Identification was based on adult morphology and DNA barcoding. This is presently believed to be the northernmost record in Europe of T. basalis and could be the consequence of a northward expansion of this species due to climate change. This first record may be of economic importance for the biological control of stink bug pests in Belgian vegetable and fruit production.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
