Chemical Cues in Tritrophic Interaction on Biocontrol of Insect Pest [PDF]
Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry Research, 2017 Tritrophic interaction among host plant-herbivore-parasitoid involves chemical cues. The infested plant by herbivores has been reacted to produce volatiles which is a cue used by the herbivore parasitoids for host location.

Intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of a true bug in semi-field and field conditions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Research on interspecific competitive interactions among insect parasitoids has often been characterized by laboratory studies in which host insects are exposed to female parasitoids of different species in various sequences and combinations. In the last

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 ...

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 ...

Egg Collection for Nasonia (Parasitoid Wasp) [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009 INTRODUCTIONNasonia is a complex of four closely related species of wasps with several features that make it an excellent system for a variety of genetic studies. These include a short generation time, ease of rearing, interfertile species, visible and molecular markers, and a sequenced genome.
