Life‐history traits in closely related secondary parasitoids sharing the same primary parasitoid host: evolutionary opportunities and constraints [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2009 AbstractThus far, few studies have compared life‐history traits amongst secondary parasitoids attacking and developing in cocoons of their primary parasitoid hosts. This study examines development and reproduction in Lysibia nana Gravenhorst and Acrolyta nens Hartig (both Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), two related and morphologically similar secondary ...

The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1993 1. We analysed data collected in 1985-89 from cereal fields to elucidate the relationships between the primary parasitoids and hyperparasitoids of cereal aphids. The analysis aimed to establish whether or not hyperparasitoids interfere with the impact of primary parasitoids on cereal aphid populations. 2.

Primary parasitoid and hyperparasitoid guilds (hymenoptera) of grain aphid (Sitobion avenae F.) in northern Poland [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014 The aim of this study was to determine and compare the guilds of parasitic Hymenoptera associated with the grain aphid on rye and winter wheat. Of the seven species of primary parasitoids (Braconidae: Aphidiinae, Aphelinidae), parasitizing ...

A Review of Aphid Parasitoids, with an Identification Key to the Genera of Economic Importance
InsectsAgriculture plays an essential role in meeting global food demand, and so effective pest control is crucial. Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are a significant problem for many crops worldwide, and cause crop losses.

Effect of calcium polysulfide on Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Liviidae) and its primary parasitoids
Revista de Ciencias AgrícolasHuanglongbing (HLB) is a devastating disease with no current cure, affecting citrus plantations worldwide. Controlling its spread relies heavily on managing the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri), the disease's primary vector.

Insect Science, 2015 AbstractWe used morphological and molecular differences to confirm the identities of red scale (Aonidiella aurantii) and yellow scale (A. citrina), and their primary parasitoids, in Australia. An extension to the distribution of yellow scale was confirmed. Six primary parasitoids of red scale were identified: Aphytis chrysomphali, A.

Co-occurrence in ant primary parasitoids: a Camponotus rectangularis colony as host of two eucharitid wasp genera. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Different assemblages of parasitoids may attack a given host species and non-random distribution patterns in parasitoid species assemblages have been reported on various occasions, resulting in co-occurrence at the population, colony, or even individual host levels. This is the case for different closely related species of eucharitid wasps (a family of

Trophic relationships between aphids and their primary parasitoids. [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2012 The present research was carried out to study the trophic relationship between aphids and their primary parasitoids in Pothwar, Pakistan during 2009-2010 in the districts of Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, and Jhelum. Ten species of aphids were recorded from 17 host plants. The aphids were parasitized by 11 species of primary parasitoids.

Review of Interactions Between Host Plants, Aphids, Primary Parasitoids and Hyperparasitoids in Vegetable and Cereal Ecosystems in Slovenia [PDF]
, 2012 Sampling of aphids and parasitoids was conducted in diverse cereal and vegetable crop habitats in Slovenia in the period from 2006 to 2010. Over 330 samples containing primary or secondary parasitoids or both were taken. In 25 different vegetable crops 15 species of aphids parasitized by 18 species of primary parasitoids were found, and were associated

An autoparasitoid wasp, inferior at resource exploitation, outcompetes primary parasitoids by using competitor females to produce males [PDF]
, 2020 International audience1. Autoparasitoids are intraguild consumers that attack and kill heterospecific and conspecific parasitoids as well as immature stages of hemipteran hosts, such as aphids, whiteflies and soft scales.
