Characteristics determining host suitability for a generalist parasite. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractHost quality is critical for parasites. The common cuckooCuculus canorusis a generalist avian brood parasite, but individual females show strong preference for a specific host species. Here, we use three extensive datasets to investigate different host characteristics determining cuckoo host selection at the species level: (i) 1871 population ...

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2001 The influence of host pupal age on host preference and host suitability in Brachymeria lasus (Walker) was examined. Rice armyworm, Mythimna separata (Walker), pupae of different ages, i.e., 0–1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–7 and 8–9 d old were used as hosts. The females accepted the host pupae equally for oviposition among 5 age groups, suggesting that female B. lasus

Host Suitability Index for Polyphagous Tephritid Fruit Flies [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2021 Abstract Tephritid fruit flies are major economic pests for fruit production and are an impediment to international trade. Different host fruits are known to vary in their suitability for fruit flies to complete their life cycle. Currently, international regulatory standards that define the likely legal host status for tephritid fruit ...
