Influence of feeding-location on nutritional quality for cochineal insects (Homoptera : Dactylopiidae) on Opuntia ficus-indica (Cactaceae)
The cochineal insect Dactylopius opuntiae has been an extremely successful biocontrol agent of the cactus weed Opuntia ficus-indica. Its resounding success has allowed us to take a closer look at how the relationships between biocontrol agents and their host plants are maintained. The prickly pear,...
