Parasitoid complex of fall armyworm, spodoptera frugiperda, in Ghana and Benin [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Open Access Journal; Published online: 21 Jan 2020The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, a moth originating from the American continent, has recently invaded most African countries, where it is seriously threatening food security as a pest of cereals.

An exotic parasitoid provides an invasional lifeline for native parasitoids
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractThe introduction of an exotic species may alter food webs within the ecosystem and significantly affect the biodiversity of indigenous species at different trophic levels. It has been postulated that recent introduction of the brown marmorated stinkbug (Halyomorpha halys (Stål)) represents an evolutionary trap for native parasitoids, as they ...

Host-parasitoid dynamics and the success of biological control when parasitoids are prone to allee effects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In sexual organisms, low population density can result in mating failures and subsequently yields a low population growth rate and high chance of extinction.

The Biology and Ecology of Parasitoid Wasps of Predatory Arthropods.
Annual Review of Entomology, 2022 Parasitoid wasps are important components of insect food chains and have played a central role in biological control programs for over a century. Although the vast majority of parasitoids exploit insect herbivores as hosts, others parasitize predatory ...

Biodiversity of hymenopteran parasitoids [PDF]
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2023 Parasitoid wasps are the most successful group of insect parasitoids, comprising more than half the known diversity of Hymenoptera and probably most of the unknown diversity. This lifestyle has enabled them to be used as pest control agents conferring substantial economic benefits to global agriculture.

DNA extraction from museum specimens of parasitic Hymenoptera. [PDF]
, 2012 At the same time that molecular researchers are improving techniques to extract DNA from museum specimens, this increased demand for access to museum specimens has created tension between the need to preserve specimens for maintaining collections and ...

Microbial Symbionts of Parasitoids
Annual Review of Entomology, 2020 Parasitoids depend on other insects for the development of their offspring. Their eggs are laid in or on a host insect that is consumed during juvenile development. Parasitoids harbor a diversity of microbial symbionts including viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

Impact of a nonnative parasitoid species on intraspecific interference and offspring sex ratio
Scientific Reports, 2021 In an assemblage of multiple predators sharing a single prey species, the combined effects of the component species may scale unpredictably because of emergent interspecific interactions.

Scientific Reports, 2020 A parasitoid’s decision to reject or accept a potential host is fundamental to its fitness. Superparasitism, in which more than one egg of a given parasitoid species can deposit in a single host, is usually considered sub-optimal in systems where the ...
