Parasitic assemblages on leafminers: a comparison of structure and function among host Orders
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011-04)
In this study we ask whether parasitic complexes of leafminers display differences associated to host order, by comparing species number, taxonomic composition, parasitism rates and host ranges in parasitoid assemblages ...
Arthropod-bacteria interactions influence assembly of aquatic host microbiome and pathogen defense
(Royal Soc, 2019-06-01)
The host-associated microbiome is vital to host immunity and pathogen defense. In aquatic ecosystems, organisms may interact with environmental bacteria to influence the pool of potential symbionts, but the effects of these ...
Spatial and temporal variation in host–parasitoid interactions: leafcutter ant hosts and their phorid parasitoids
(Wiley, 2017-10)
1. Parasitoid–host interactions are important components of ecological communities. Although parasitoid–host interactions are strongly shaped by evolutionary history, the abundance of both the parasitoid and the host may ...
Host-mediated volatile polymorphism in a parasitic plant influences its attractiveness to pollinators
(Springer, 2010)
Host-plants can mediate the interactions
between herbivores and their mutualists and also between
parasitic plants and their mutualists. The present study
reveals how a hemiparasitic plant parasitizing three host
species ...
Differences in learning and memory of host plant features between specialist and generalist phytophagous insects
(Elsevier, 2015)
Insects are able to learn from experience acquired in their natal habitat, thereby obtaining adaptive
advantages. However, the acquisition of new information could involve defects in retrieving previously
learned information ...
Response of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata to host and host-habitat volatile cues
(Wiley, 2012-05)
Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a fruit fly larval parasitoid, ...
A meta-analysis of host specificity in Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-02)
Host specificity of Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) was analyzed by using the number of hosts species for each tick species and the index of host specificity STD*, which integrates phylogenetic and ecological ...
