Parasitoid Wasp Culturing and Assay to Study Parasitoid-induced Reproductive Modifications in Drosophila [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2023 In nature, parasitoid wasp infections are a major cause of insect mortality. Parasitoid wasps attack a vast range of insect species to lay their eggs.

The evolution of gregariousness in parasitoid wasps [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998 Data are assembled on the clutch-size strategies adopted by extant species of parasitoid wasp. These data are used to reconstruct the history of clutch-size evolution in the group using a series of plausible evolutionary assumptions. Extant families are either entirely solitary, both solitary and gregarious, or else clutch size is unknown.

Cuticular Hydrocarbon Polymorphism in a Parasitoid Wasp. [PDF]
J Chem Ecol, 2023 AbstractCuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are major constituents of the cuticular lipid layer of insects. They serve not only as a barrier to desiccation, but often additionally mediate communication at close range. The compositions of the CHC profiles, i.e., the specific compounds and their relative amounts, usually differ between species.

Immune Cell Production Is Targeted by Parasitoid Wasp Virulence in a Drosophila-Parasitoid Wasp Interaction. [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 The interactions between Drosophila melanogaster and the parasitoid wasps that infect Drosophila species provide an important model for understanding host–parasite relationships. Following parasitoid infection, D. melanogaster larvae mount a response in which immune cells (hemocytes) form a capsule around the wasp egg, which then melanizes, leading to ...

Matching host reactions to parasitoid wasp vibrations [PDF]
Proceedings: Biological Sciences, 2001 The sensory ecology of predator detection by prey has been little studied for any arthropod prey predator system, in contrast to the sensory ecology of prey finding by predators. The aim of this study was to quantify the foraging signals produced by the parasitoid Sympiesis sericeicornis (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and the sensory ecology of enemy ...

In silico prediction of neuropeptides in Hymenoptera parasitoid wasps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Parasitoid wasps of the order Hymenoptera, the most diverse groups of animals, are important natural enemies of arthropod hosts in natural ecosystems and can be used in biological control.

Larval RNAi in Nasonia (Parasitoid Wasp) [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009 INTRODUCTIONNasonia is a complex of four closely related species of wasps with several features that make it an excellent system for a variety of genetic studies. These include a short generation time, ease of rearing, interfertile species, visible and molecular markers, and a sequenced genome.

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2023 Background Aphids often harbor bacterial symbionts that confer resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. Previous studies have primarily examined the direct effects of symbiont infection on parasitoid success but less on aphid population dynamics under ...
