Associative odour learning affects mating behaviour in Aphidius ervi males (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2005 We used the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi reared in its host Acyrthosiphon pisum to examine if male sexual attractive responses can be conditioned to an odour (vanilla) that is not present in the natural environment.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 148-159, May 2025.Abstract The presence of predators can induce non‐consumptive effects on prey that result in subsequent changes to prey behaviour and defence. We investigate the interaction between top‐down non‐consumptive effects of various stages of the predator Coccinella septempunctata L.(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (larvae and adult) and bottom‐up effects of host ...

Parasitic wasp responses to symbiont-based defense in aphids
BMC Biology, 2012 Background Recent findings indicate that several insect lineages receive protection against particular natural enemies through infection with heritable symbionts, but little is yet known about whether enemies are able to discriminate and respond to ...

Assessing the contribution of geography and host use to genetic structure in New York populations of the parasitoid wasp, Aphidius ervi [PDF]
, 2016 Host-associated differentiation (HAD) has been shown to be important in generating genetic differentiation within herbivorous insects, but the applicability of HAD to other parasitic taxonomic groups remains unclear.
