The development and morphology of immature phases of Spalangia gemina Boucek and Pachycrepoideus vindemiae Rondani are described from a laboratory reared culture maintained on the house fly Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae). Body width and length of pupal parasitoid were recorded.

Factors affecting the biology of Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), a parasitoid of spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). [PDF]
Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae is a wasp that parasitizes and host-feeds on pupae of the invasive spotted-wing drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii). Few studies have addressed interactions between these two species and little is known about the potential of ...

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi inventariar as espécies de parasitóides associadas à mosca-do-figo Zaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970 (Dip.: Drosophilidae) em cultivos de goiabeira. Frutos atacados foram depositados em recipientes plásticos, sobre uma camada de areia fina com 5 cm de espessura, a qual serviu como substrato para a fase pupal.

Water-Deprived Parasitic Wasps (Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae) Kill More Pupae of a Pest (Drosophila suzukii) as a Water-Intake Strategy. [PDF]
Most organisms must ingest water to compensate for dehydration. In parasitic wasps, the importance of water and the behaviors driving its consumption are poorly understood.

Linear functional response by two pupal Drosophila parasitoids foraging within single or multiple patch environments. [PDF]
Functional response describes the number of prey or hosts attacked by a predator or parasitoid as a function of prey or host density. Using three different experimental designs, we found a linear functional response by two insect parasitoids (the ...

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

An Effective Fluorescent Marker for Tracking the Dispersal of Small Insects with Field Evidence of Mark–Release–Recapture of Trissolcus japonicus [PDF]
Understanding insect dispersal helps us predict the spread of insect pests and their natural enemies. Dispersal can be studied by marking, releasing, and recapturing insects, known as mark–release–recapture (MRR).

Parasitoids such as Ganaspis brasiliensis and Pachycrepoideus vindemiae are being researched for biological control of Drosophila suzukii, an important agricultural pest. Parasitoids can be monitored in the field by collecting infested fruit samples or using sentinel traps seeded with host larvae/pupae.
