Anti-aphrodisiac compounds of male butterflies increase the risk of egg parasitoid attack by inducing plant synomone production [PDF]
, 2009 During mating in many butterfly species, males transfer spermatophores that contain anti-aphrodisiacs to females that repel conspecific males. For example, males of the large cabbage white, Pieris brassicae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), transfer the anti ...

Parasitoid load affects plant fitness in a tritrophic system [PDF]
, 2008 Plants attacked by herbivorous insects emit volatile compounds that attract predators or parasitoids of the herbivores. Plant fitness increases when these herbivorous insects are parasitized by solitary parasitoids, but whether gregarious koinobiont ...

Phenotypic plasticity and fitness in egg parasitoids [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2010 Several proxies can be used to estimate the fitness of egg parasitoids: size, longevity, fecundity, mating ability and vagility. All these proxies are positively correlated with the lifetime fitness gain of an individual. However, the phenotypic plasticity, which is the ability of a genotype to produce distinct phenotypes depending on environmental ...

Insects, 2021 Temperature is particularly important for ectotherms, including endoparasitoid wasps that develop inside another ectotherm host. In this study, we tested the impact of three temperatures (20 °C, 25 °C and 30 °C) on the host–parasitoid immune interaction ...

The Significance of Background Odour for an Egg Parasitoid to Detect Plants with Host Eggs [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2005 Scots pine has been shown to produce a volatile bouquet that attracts egg parasitoids in response to oviposition of the herbivorous sawfly Diprion pini. Previous analyses of headspace volatiles of oviposition-induced pine twigs revealed only quantitative changes; in particular, the sesquiterpene (E)-beta-farnesene was emitted in significantly higher ...

Life-history traits in closely related secondary parasitoids sharing the same primary parasitoid host: evolutionary opportunities and constraints [PDF]
, 2009 Thus far, few studies have compared life-history traits amongst secondary parasitoids attacking and developing in cocoons of their primary parasitoid hosts.

Beyond sex allocation : the role of mating systems in sexual selection in parasitoid wasps [PDF]
, 2014 Funding: UK NERC Doctoral Training GrantDespite the diverse array of mating systems and life histories which characterise the parasitic Hymenoptera, sexual selection and sexual conflict in this taxon have been somewhat overlooked.

Egg Parasitoids of Citrus Weevils in Guadeloupe
Florida Entomologist, 2008 To determine parasitism and mortality factors affecting citrus weevils in Guadeloupe an explor atory trip to the island was taken in the summer of 2006. Guadeloupe was surveyed for egg parasi toids and other natural enemies with the intent of augmenting the parasitoid species that have al ready been imported and released to control the citrus root ...
