A New Experimental Setup to Study the Olfactory Behaviour of Trichogramma Egg Parasitoids

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We developed an experimental setup to assess odor‐induced egg‐laying behavior in tiny egg‐parasitoid wasps. This Y‐shaped olfactometer, coupled with an AI‐based image‐recognition model, automatically quantifies egg parasitism by Trichogramma wasps. Olfactory‐driven egg‐laying preferences were analyzed using Bayesian inference.

How Do Female Pest Tephritids Behave During Male Courtship?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In this paper, the female role during male courtship was described for the first time in fruit flies. Our findings show that females imitate some male behaviors and suggest that certain behaviors are associated with male mating success. Indeed, the Mediterranean fruit fly displays fewer behavioral units (i.e., shorter courtship sequences) than ...

Environmental stress influences reproductive success in male spider mites

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
This experiment explores how male juvenile food stress impacts reproductive traits in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae. Males exposed to juvenile food stress had lower reproductive success and females mated to these males also suffered reduced fitness as they were not able to produce optimal offspring sex ratios. The negative effects of

Fluctuating asymmetry in spider‐hunting wasps as a possible indicator of stress in Brazilian Atlantic Forest landscapes Assimetria flutuante em vespas caçadoras de aranhas como possível indicador de estresse em paisagens da Mata Atlântica brasileira

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...
