Aggression plays a key role all across the animal kingdom, as it allows the acquisition and/or defence of limited resources (food, mates and territories) in a huge number of species. A large part of our knowledge on aggressive behaviour has been developed on insects of economic importance. How can this knowledge be exploited to enhance integrated pest management? Here, I highlight how knowledge on intraspecific aggression can help IPM both in terms of insect pests (with a focus on the enhancement of the sterile insect technique) and in terms of biological control agents (with a focus on mass-rearing optimisation). Then, I examine what implications for IPM can be outlined from knowledge about interspecific aggressive behaviour. Besides predator-pest aggressive interactions predicted by classic biological control, I focus on what IPM can learn from (i) interspecific aggression among pest species (with special reference to competitive displacement), (ii) defensive behaviour exhibited by prey against predaceous insects and (iii) conflicts among predaceous arthropods sharing the same trophic niche (with special reference to learning/sensitisation practices and artificial manipulation of chemically mediated interactions).
攻击行为在整个动物界都起着关键作用，因为它能使大量物种获取和/或保卫有限的资源（食物、配偶和领地）。我们关于攻击行为的大部分知识是基于具有经济重要性的昆虫得出的。如何利用这些知识来加强综合虫害管理呢？在此，我将强调关于种内攻击行为的知识如何在害虫方面（重点是强化不育昆虫技术）以及生物防治剂方面（重点是大规模饲养优化）帮助综合虫害管理。然后，我将探讨从种间攻击行为的知识中可以为综合虫害管理勾勒出哪些启示。除了经典生物防治所预测的捕食者与害虫之间的攻击相互作用外，我还将重点关注综合虫害管理可以从以下方面学到什么：（i）害虫物种之间的种间攻击行为（特别提及竞争取代），（ii）猎物对捕食性昆虫表现出的防御行为，以及（iii）共享相同营养生态位的捕食性节肢动物之间的冲突（特别提及学习/敏感化实践以及对化学介导相互作用的人工操纵）。
