A comparative analysis of host feeding and life-history traits in parasitoid wasps
(2016-05)
Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a food ...
A comparative analysis of host feeding and life-history traits in parasitoid wasps
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-05)
Feeding in insect parasitoids can have significant implications from behavioral and evolutionary ecology standpoints. Females of many species not only search for hosts to lay their eggs on, but also may use them as a food ...
Host makes the difference: the effect of two planthopper host species on host-feeding and parasitism activities of the pincer wasp Gonatopus bonaerensis
(Springer, 2019-12)
Females of Gonatopus bonaerensis Virla (Hym.: Dryinidae), a parasitoid of Delphacidae (Hemiptera), practices host-feeding. It was demonstrated for several species of Dryinidae that host mortality caused by host-feeding is ...
Reservoir host competence and the role of domestic and commensal hosts in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi
(Elsevier Science, 2015-03)
We review the epidemiological role of domestic and commensal hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi using aquantitative approach, and compiled >400 reports on their natural infection. We link the theory under-lying simple mathematical ...
Behavioural differences during host selection between alate virginoparae of generalist and tobacco-specialist Myzus persicae
(2005)
Host plant selection and acceptance by aphids involves four consecutive steps: (1) prealighting behaviour, (2) leaf surface exploration and probing of subepidermal tissues, (3) deep probing of plant tissues, and (4) ...
The influence of previous experience and starvation on aphid feeding behavior
(2000)
It was hypothesized that (1) previous experience of aphids on a host plant leads to differences in their feeding behavior relative to aphids without previous experience on it and that (2) a change in the physiological state ...
