Lipid quantity and composition vary between three European house fly strains
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 4, Page 248-257, April 2023., 2023 Lipids are crucial nutrients for survival and reproduction of insects. House fly larvae, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae), are valuable as insect feed, fueling interest in lipid content regulation. We investigated whether strains of three geographical origins vary in stored lipid characteristics in response to temperature.

Review of Venoms of Non-Polydnavirus Carrying Ichneumonoid Wasps. [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 2021 Parasitoids are predominantly insects that develop as larvae on or inside their host, also usually another insect, ultimately killing it after various periods of parasitism when both parasitoid larva and host are alive.

European Journal of Entomology, 2012 To understand the factors governing the diversity, abundance and host associations of parasitoids attacking frugivorous drosophilid flies on Iriomote-jima, a subtropical island of Japan, we monitored parasitism on several occasions over the period 2003 ...

Impact of Wolbachia on oxidative stress sensitivity in the parasitic wasp Asobara japonica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The oxidative homeostasis is the balance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidant molecules. In addition to be considered as a key factor underlying life-history traits evolution, the oxidative homeostasis has been shown to be involved in many ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 The parasitoid Leptopilina heterotoma has been used as a model system in biology for more than 70 years. This review aims to provide a broad and detailed synthesis of the work performed on this system, including immunity, behavioral ecology, endosymbiotic and trophic interactions, as well as physiology.

Context‐dependent costs and benefits of endosymbiotic interactions in a ciliate–algae system
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 12, Page 5924-5935, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Endosymbiosis, an interaction between two species where one lives within the other, has evolved multiple times independently, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Evolutionary theory suggests that for an endosymbiotic interaction to remain stable over time, births of both partners should be higher than their deaths in symbiosis and ...

Revisiting the hymenopteran diploid male vortex: a review of avoidance mechanisms and incidence
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 170, Issue 12, Page 1010-1031, December 2022., 2022 The Hymenoptera (bees, ants, wasps, and sawflies) have haploid males and diploid females. According to the diploid male vortex (DMV) theory, inbreeding increases sterile diploid male production and extinction risk for many species. We reviewed DMV incidence and avoidance.

Characterization of Venom and Oviduct Components of Parasitoid Wasp Asobara japonica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 During natural parasitization, Asobara japonica wasps introduce lateral oviduct (LO) components into their Drosophila hosts soon after the venom injection to neutralize its strong toxicity; otherwise, the host will die.
