Venom Proteins from Parasitoid Wasps and Their Biological Functions
Toxins, 2015 Parasitoid wasps are valuable biological control agents that suppress their host populations. Factors introduced by the female wasp at parasitization play significant roles in facilitating successful development of the parasitoid larva either inside ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the occurrence of osteomyelitis in non‐avian dinosaurs, focusing on the Ibirá locality, a site with a high incidence of this pathological condition. We analyzed six new osteopathic sauropod specimens from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil.

Competitive interactions between parasitoids provide new insight into host suppression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding the dynamics of potential inter- and intraspecific competition in parasitoid communities is crucial in the screening of efficient parasitoid species and for utilization of the best parasitoid species combinations.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In the last decade, the influence of microbial symbionts on ecological and physiological traits of their hosts has been increasingly recognized. However, most of these effects have been revealed under laboratory conditions, which oversimplifies the ...

Multi-state models for double transitions associated with parasitism in biological control [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Competition between parasitoids can reduce the success of pest control in biological programs using two species as bio-control agents or when multiple species exploit the same host crop. Parasitoid foraging behavior and the ability to identify already parasitized hosts affect the efficacy of parasitoid species as bio-agents to regulate pest insects. We

Oscillations and patterns in interacting populations of two species [PDF]
Physical Review E 78, 050903(R) (2008), 2008 Interacting populations often create complicated spatiotemporal behavior, and understanding it is a basic problem in the dynamics of spatial systems. We study the two-species case by simulations of a host--parasitoid model. In the case of co-existence, there are spatial patterns leading to noise-sustained oscillations.

Estimating Parasitism of Colorado Potato Beetle Eggs, \u3ci\u3eLeptinotarsa Decemlineata\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), by \u3ci\u3eEdovum Puttleri\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) [PDF]
, 2017 A computer simulation was used to evaluate methods for estimating parasitism of Colorado potato beetle egg mass populations by Edovum puttleri. The algorithm incorporated the specific attack behavior of E. puttleri, and a development time for parasitized

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.Our research demonstrates that in mirroring prevailing human biases towards different insect groups, LLM chatbots oversimplify insect diversity by predominantly restricting “bees” to honeybees and “wasps” to yellowjackets, neglecting the majority of biodiversity that includes wild bees and parasitoid wasps, while also favouring Nearctic species in ...

The influence of plant fertilisation regime on plant-aphid-parasitoid interactions [PDF]
, 2003 This thesis examines effects of plant fertilisation regime on herbivore and parasitoid performance for two aphids, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Myzus persicae, and one parasitoid wasp, Aphidius ervi. Herbivore performance was measured as adult fresh weight
