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.

A serpin gene from a parasitoid wasp disrupts host immunity and exhibits adaptive alternative splicing. [PDF]
PLoS Pathog, 2023 Alternative splicing (AS) is a major source of protein diversity in eukaryotes, but less is known about its evolution compared to gene duplication (GD). How AS and GD interact is also largely understudied.

Genome of the parasitoid wasp Cotesia chilonis sheds light on amino acid resource exploitation. [PDF]
BMC Biol, 2022 Background A fundamental feature of parasitism is the nutritional exploitation of host organisms by their parasites. Parasitoid wasps lay eggs on arthropod hosts, exploiting them for nutrition to support larval development by using diverse effectors ...

Sperm Depletion and Mating Behavior in the Parasitoid Wasp \u3ci\u3eSpalangia Cameroni\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) [PDF]
Great Lakes Entomologist, 2018 Mating behavior was examined in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia cameroni. Males attempted copulation with both virgins and already mated females. Males attempted copulation regardless of whether they still had sperm. Already mated females rejected attempts

Acute effect of low-dose thiacloprid exposure synergised by tebuconazole in a parasitoid wasp [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Agricultural practices often involve tank-mixing and co-application of insecticides with fungicides to control crop pests. However, natural methods relying on biological control agents such as hymenopteran parasitoids have been shown to be highly ...

Effects of Intraspecific Competition and Host-Parasitoid Developmental Timing on Foraging Behaviour of a Parasitoid Wasp [PDF]
Journal of insect behavior, 2013 In a context where hosts are distributed in patches and susceptible to parasitism for a limited time, female parasitoids foraging for hosts might experience intraspecific competition. We investigated the effects of host and parasitoid developmental stage
