Enemy-Risk Effects in Parasitoid-Exposed Diamondback Moth Larvae: Potential Mediation of the Interaction by Host Plants [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Enemy-risk effects (i.e., non-consumptive effects) describe the non-lethal fitness costs incurred by animals when they perceive a risk of predation. These effects can result from fear-associated changes in behavior and physiology. Diamondback moth larvae

The genomes of two parasitic wasps that parasitize the diamondback moth. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 AbstractBackgroundParasitic insects are well-known biological control agents for arthropod pests worldwide. They are capable of regulating their host’s physiology, development and behaviour. However, many of the molecular mechanisms involved in host-parasitoid interaction remain unknown.ResultsWe sequenced the genomes of two parasitic wasps (Cotesia ...
