The impact of parasitoid emergence time on host–parasitoid population dynamics
Theoretical Population Biology, 2009We investigate the effect of parasitoid phenology on host-parasitoid population cycles. Recent experimental research has shown that parasitized hosts can continue to interact with their unparasitized counterparts through competition. Parasitoid phenology, in particular the timing of emergence from the host, determines the duration of this competition ...

Annual Review of Entomology, 1997
▪ Abstract Parasitoids in the insect order Diptera include an estimated 16,000 species, or approximately 20% of the total number of species with this life-style. Parasitoids in this order are exceedingly diverse in both their habits and evolutionary origins, which makes them an underutilized but highly suitable group for quantitative studies of ...

Current Biology
Parasitoids - insects that parasitize other insects - have fascinating biologies that have made them darlings of the science fiction genre, owing to their wide array of innovative and often gruesome strategies for living off other organisms. These insects do not sting, but rather lay eggs on or inside their hosts, typically another insect or spider ...

Semiochemicals and learning in parasitoids
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1990There is increasing evidence that parasitoid responses to semiochemicals, important stimuli in the host location process, are influenced by experience. This paper focuses on the role of learning, in particular associative learning, in responses to odors.

Enhanced stability in host–parasitoid interactions with autoparasitism and parasitoid migration
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2016Previous studies based on simple non-spatial model have suggested that autoparasitism, in which females develop as primary endoparasitoids of hosts while males develop at the expense of primary parasitoids, stabilizes host-parasitoid steady state. To date, however, how the stabilizing role of autoparasitism would be affected by more complex spatial ...

Host/parasitoid interactions: critical timing of parasitoid-derived products
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1998Short-term in vitro incubations were used to examine the ability of endoparasitoid larvae to produce and release both ecdysteroids and proteins into their environment. Second instar larvae of both Chelonus near curvimaculatus and Ascogaster quadridentata were observed by SDS-PAGE to release temporally-similar polypeptides in the 20-30kD M(r) range ...

Teratocytes and their functions in parasitoids
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2014Some endoparasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) produce teratocytes, which are a type of cell that is released into host insects when wasp eggs hatch. In this short review I first summarize the different taxa of wasps that produce teratocytes, the embryonic origin of these cells, and key features of teratocyte growth.

Parasitoids, polydnaviruses and endosymbiosis
Parasitology Today, 1990Symbiotic associations traditionally have been treated as evolutionary curios rather than as a major source of evolutionary innovation. Recent research on a wide variety of organisms is changing this view and is breaking down the barriers between the traditional categories of parasitism, commensalism and mutualism, to produce a more flexible view of ...
