Transgenerational effects increase the vulnerability of a host-parasitoid system to rising temperatures. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Insect thermal performance can be modulated by temperatures experienced by preceding generations, but it is unclear how these effects may scale up to communities. Using an experimental Drosophila–parasitoid system and simulations, transgenerational effects affecting both trophic levels are shown to have emergent impacts on persistence under rising ...

First record of Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae) and a tritrophic relation with parasitoids in a citrus orchard in Pará state, Brazil [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2021
Citriculture is a growing industry in Pará state, Brazil, but information regarding fruit flies and their associated parasitoids in this region is lacking.

Geographic Variation in Resistance of the Invasive <i>Drosophila suzukii</i> to Parasitism by the Biological Control Agent, <i>Ganaspis brasiliensis</i>. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Host–parasitoid interactions are tied in coevolutionary arms races where parasitoids continuously have to evolve increased virulence as hosts evolve increased resistance. Over time, geographic structure in virulence and resistance can arise because of spatial and temporal differences in parasitoid communities, in the strength of reciprocal ...

Substantial fitness costs in terms of parasitization rates, offspring production and sex ratio of Wolbachia infection in Nasonia vitripennis without modified host preference

Ecological Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 765-774, December 2023., 2023
We tested whether host preference and parasitization rate of wild‐type Nasonia vitripennis females are manipulated by Wolbachia endosymbionts. We found fitness costs on the parasitoid wasps due to Wolbachia infection, where divergent host genotypes are impaired in disparate fitness correlates. Contrary to expectations based on other systems, the wasps'

A case of polyploid utility in biocontrol: reproductively-impaired triploid Nasonia vitripennis have high host-killing ability. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Parasitization ability on blowfly pupae of polyploid (triploid) females of the model parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis was compared against diploid controls. Despite highly impaired reproduction, the infertile polyploids had parasitization ability equal to control diploids, demonstrating high utility of polyploid parasitoids for biocontrol, with less ...

Abundance and host associations of parasitoids attacking frugivorous drosophilids on Iriomote-jima, a subtropical island of Japan

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 ...

Experimental heatwaves facilitate invasion and alter species interactions and composition in a tropical host‐parasitoid community

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 22, Page 6261-6275, November 2023., 2023
Climate change not only directly affects organisms' performance but also exposes organisms to new biological interactions. Our work highlights the role of heatwaves in facilitating invasion. We also show indirect interactions mediated by parasitoid wasps in our relatively simple bi‐trophic community contribute to complications and surprise in the ...

The microbiota of Idaea inquinata developing on dry herbs

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 10, Page 796-805, October 2023., 2023
The role of diet in influencing the Idaea inquinata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)‐associated bacterial community and the impact on its development were investigated by rearing this species on three diets: Matricaria chamomilla flowers, Angelica archangelica roots, and artificial diet.
