Acceptance and suitability of Acyrthosiphon pisum and Sitobion avenae as hosts of the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2003)
Aphidius ervi Haliday is a parasitoid of natural populations of both Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) on alfalfa and Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) on wheat in Chile. In this study the performance of the aphid parasitoid on both ...
Host gut microorganisms' cues mediate orientation behaviour in the larva of the parasitoid Mallophora ruficauda
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-02)
The robber fly Mallophora ruficauda is one of the most important apicultural pests in the Pampas region of Argentina. This species is a parasitoid of scarab beetle larvae. Females lay eggs away from the host, and the larvae ...
Chemical interaction between the larva of a dipteran parasitoid and its coleopteran host: A case of exploitation of the communication system during the searching behaviour?
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-06)
The robber fly Mallophora ruficauda is one of the principal apicultural pests in the Pampas region of Argentina. As adults, the flies prey on honey bees and other insects; while, as larvae, they parasitize scarab beetle ...
No evidence of strong host resource segregation by phorid parasitoids of leaf-cutting ants
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2018-11)
Resource segregation by species is a cornerstone ecological concept that may result from several processes such as interspecific competition, and can help structuring communities, in particular parasitoid communities. ...
Hymenoptera parasitoides associados à Geometridae (Lepidoptera) em quatro áreas da Fazenda Canchim (Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste, São Carlos, SP) com ênfase nos Microgastrinae (Braconidae) e Campopleginae (Ichneumonidae)
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosBRUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, 2012-02-17)
Larvae of Geometridae (Lepidoptera) were collected with entomological umbrella during 13 months in Agrosilvopastoral System and Reforestation at Canchim Farm (Embrapa Pecuária Sudeste, São Carlos, SP) area, and maintained ...
Effects of quantitative and qualitative differences in volatiles from host- and non-host-infested maize on the attraction of the larval parasitoid Cotesia kariyai
(2017-04-01)
Cotesia kariyai Watanabe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a specialist larval parasitoid of Mythimna separata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Cotesia kariyai wasps use herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) to locate hosts. ...
Liriomyza commelinae (Diptera: Agromyzidae): an alternative host for parasitoids of the leafminer pest Liriomyza huidobrensis
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-09)
The potential of Liriomyza commelinae (Frost) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) as an alternative host for parasitoids of the pest leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) was investigated. We particularly focussed on the specific ...
Symbiont-conferred immunity interacts with effects of parasitoid genotype and intraguild predation to affect aphid immunity in a clone-specific fashion
(BioMed Central, 2022)
Background: Host-parasite interactions represent complex co-evolving systems in which genetic and associated phenotypic variation within a species can significantly affect selective pressures on traits, such as host immunity, ...
Patch exploitation strategies of parasitoids: The role of sex ratio and forager's interference in structuring metapopulations
