The complete mitochondrial genome of Trissolcus japonicus (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), the candidate for the biological control of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 The samurai wasp Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead, 1904) is a parasitoid hymenopteran that came into the limelight as the natural enemy of Halyomorpha halys. Here, we present the complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the CREATJ laboratory strain,

A temporal trophic shift from primary parasitism to facultative hyperparasitism during interspecific competition between two coevolved scelionid egg parasitoids. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Competition between two co‐evolved scelionid egg parasitoids was evaluated to better understand the competitive strategies that allow these two species to coexist on the same host. Not only was Trissolcus cultratus the superior intrinsic competitor when it was the first species to parasitize an egg mass, but it was also able to develop as a facultative

Host chemical footprints induce host sex discrimination ability in egg parasitoids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Trissolcus egg parasitoids, when perceiving the chemical footprints left on a substrate by pentatomid host bugs, adopt a motivated searching behaviour characterized by longer searching time on patches were signals are present.

Intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of a true bug in semi-field and field conditions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Research on interspecific competitive interactions among insect parasitoids has often been characterized by laboratory studies in which host insects are exposed to female parasitoids of different species in various sequences and combinations. In the last

Chemical ecology of egg parasitoids associated with true bugs [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Parasitoids representing some 15 families of Hymenoptera develop in insect eggs; three of these families, Platygastridae (= Scelionidae), Mymaridae, and Encyrtidae, are associated with Heteroptera.

The invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys affects the reproductive success and the experience-mediated behavioural responses of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis [PDF]
BioControl (Dordrecht), 2021 Invasive species, because of their lack of co-evolutionary history with recipient communities, can act as “evolutionary traps” causing disconnects between natural enemy behavioural responses and the suitability of the invasive species as a prey/host ...

Irradiation-induced sterility in an egg parasitoid and possible implications for the use of biological control in insect eradication [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Classical biological control is a pest control tool involving the release of imported natural enemies. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) comprises releasing sexually sterile insects of a pest into the wild population for suppression or eradication. Both

Reproductive attributes and functional response of Anastatus japonicus on eggs of Antheraea pernyi, a factitious host. [PDF]
Pest Manag Sci, 2022 Single 1‐day‐old mated Anastatus japonicus females exhibited a type II functional response to increasing host densities (1–50 Antheraea pernyi eggs), with an inverse host density‐dependent pattern of percent parasitism. The upper limit to the daily attack rate was estimated as 7.6 Antheraea pernyi eggs.
