A Preliminary Study on Identifying the Predator Community of Invasive <i>Bactericera cockerelli</i> (Hemiptera: Triozidae) and Developing Molecular Identification Tools for Testing Field Predation

The tomato potato psyllid <i>Bactericera cockerelli</i> (Hemiptera: Triozidae) is a significant insect pest of Solanaceae. In early 2017, it was first detected in Perth, Western Australia. The objective of this work was to identify predator species of <i>B. cockerelli</i> occ...
