Bacterial and fungal symbionts in parasitoid wasp genera Nasonia and Muscidifurax
Jewel wasps in the Nasonia genus are ideal models for insect genetics, genomics, epigenetics, development, and evolution. Wasps in the Muscidifurax genus have a close evolutionary relationship to the model parasitoid genus Nasonia.

This study investigated the parasitism rate over time of Spalangia cameroni (Hymenoptera: Spalangiidae) and Muscidifurax zaraptor (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), commonly used biocontrol agents of the house fly, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae). The parasitisation rate of S. cameroni remained constant over time, whereas that of M.

Effect of Host Decoys on the Ability of the ParasitoidsMuscidifurax raptorandSpalangia cameroni(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) to Parasitize House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Puparia [PDF]
The pteromalid pupal parasitoids Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders and Spalangia cameroni Perkins (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are commonly released on livestock farms for management of house flies, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae). To be effective, parasitoids must be able to locate live host puparia in complex environments that may include ...

Individual and Combined Releases ofMuscidifurax raptorandM. raptorellus(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) as a Biological Control Tactic Targeting House Flies in Dairy Calf Facilities [PDF]
The impact of commercially reared house fly parasitoids released into nine dairy calf coverall facilities were evaluated over 3 yr. Individual and equally mixed ratios of the pteromalid parasitoids Muscidifurax raptor Girault and Saunders and M.

Parasitic Hymenoptera can be difficult to identify by conventional taxonomic techniques. Examination of the cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) provides a basis for chemotaxonomic differentiation, which may lead to the discovery of pheromones, and can be a ...

Relationships Between Temperature and Life History Parameters ofMuscidifurax raptorellus(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) [PDF]
The effect of temperature on the life history of Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders was determined to develop relationships that could be used to improve simulation models of biological control. Immature developmental rates were influenced by temperature and sex.

Natural selection is the process by which organisms accumulate favorable traits that increase reproductive success. One factor that may influence reproductive success is the ability to manipulate one\u27s offspring sex ratio.
