Description

This study aimed at evaluating the critical thermal minimum of the rosy apple aphid Dysaphis plantaginea and of two parasitoid species: Aphidius matricariae and Ephedrus cerasicola. In addition, we evaluated some fitness traits of the parasitoid at four temperatures: 20, 15, 10 and 8°C.
