Esta tesis explora los factores que afectan el comportamiento de oviposición de una chinche herbívora (Thaumastocoris peregrinus) en un sistema multitrófico compuesto por su planta hospedera (Eucalyptus spp.), otro picosuctor que comparte su hábitat (Glycaspis brimblecombei) yun parasitoide de huevo especialista (Cleruchoides noackae). En base a la información obtenida este estudio apunta a poder realizar mejoras en el manejo de T. peregrinus en plantaciones de Eucalyptus, particularmente en el control biológico con C. noackae. //This thesis explored the factors affecting the oviposition behavior of an herbivorous true bug (Thaumastocoris peregrinus), within a multitrophic system comprised of its host plant (Eucalyptus spp.), a common co-occurring sap-feeder (Glycaspis brimblecombei) and a specialist egg parasitoid (Cleruchoides noackae). Based on the information obtained, this study also pursued potential improvements in the management of T. peregrinus in Eucalyptus plantations, particularly in biological control with C.noackae. aCONTROL BIOLÓGICO aEUCALYPTUS aFORESTACIÓN aMANEJO DE PLAGAS aBRONZE BUG aCHINCHE DEL EUCALIPTO aPLANTATION FORESTRY aTHAUMASTOCORIS PEREGRINUS
