Indirect positive effects of a parasitic plant on host pollination and seed dispersal
(Wiley, 2014)
Parasitic plants often have a strong fitness-impact on their plant hosts through increased host mortality and reduced or complete suppression of reproduction. Tristerix corymbosus (Loranthaceae) is a hemiparasitic mistletoe ...
Diversity and Abundance of Hymenopterous Parasitoids Associated with Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Native and Exotic Host Plants in Misiones, Northeastern Argentina
(Florida Entomological Society, 2010-06)
Some Major host species used by the tephritid fruit flies Anastrepha
fraterculus (Wiede-mann) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), including
Acca sellowiana (O. Berg) Burret, Campomanesia xanthocarpa ...
Host discrimination in the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata : evidence from virgin female behaviour and egg distribution patterns
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-04)
Many parasitoid species discriminate already parasitized hosts, thus avoiding larval competition. However, females incur in superparasitism under certain circumstances. Superparasitism is commonly observed in the artificial ...
Combined effect of larval and pupal parasitoid use for Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) control
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2016-04)
Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) is a serious pest of commercial fruit production in Argentina. Consequently, biological control is being taken into consideration as a key component of ongoing area-wide fruit fly management ...
Outcrossing increases infection success in the
(SPRINGER, 2007-03)
Most studies on the fitness advantage of outbreeding in host–parasite
systems have been assessed from the host rather than the parasite perspective. Here,
we performed experimental pollination treatments to evaluate the ...
Effects of floral display and plant abundance on fruit production of Ryncholaelia glauca (Orchidaceae)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2003)
New host plant records for Oenomaus ortygnus (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in Mexico
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2011)
This is the first record of Oenomaus ortygnus (Cramer) damaging fruits of ilama (Annona diversifolia) and extends the butterfly distribution for three states in Mexico.
Infestation of fruit by conspecific and heterospecific females deters oviposition in two Tephritidae fruit fly species
(Wiley, 2020-09)
Tephritidae fruit fly larvae develop entirely in the host chosen by the females. To improve the fitness of their progeny, females would benefit from rejecting previously exploited hosts. Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis ...
Innate host habitat preference in the parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata: Functional significance and modifications through learning
(Public Library of Science, 2016-03)
Parasitoids searching for polyphagous herbivores can find their hosts in a variety of habitats. Under this scenario, chemical cues from the host habitat (not related to the host) represent poor indicators of host location. ...
