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 ...

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.

\u3ci\u3eAnaphes\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) Reared from the Eggs of a Shore Fly (Diptera: Ephydridae) [PDF]
, 2017 Members of the family Mymaridae are obligate parasitoids of insect eggs, and some species attack the eggs of aquatic insects. Only one account of egg parasitism by the mymarid genus Anaphes on Diptera has been disclosed in the literature.

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 ...

Dominant Arctic Predator Is Free of Major Parasitoid at Northern Edge of Its Range
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Parasitoids can affect host population dynamics with community-level consequences. In the Arctic, a high diversity of parasitoids relative to potential hosts suggests that parasitoids may exert strong selection pressure on arthropods, but the extent to ...
