The Effects of LED Daylength Extensions on the Daily Activity Patterns of a Greenhouse Biological Control Agent, Aphidius matricariae

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We used automated activity monitors to examine how light‐emitting diode illumination affects the daily locomotor activity of the parasitoid biocontrol agent Aphidius matricariae. We compared 4‐ to 20 h broad‐spectrum white (BSW) photoperiods, and 12 h BSW photoperiods extended with an additional 6 h of red‐blue, red‐green‐blue, or BSW light, or no ...

Multiparasitism Resolves the Apparent Paradox of High Male Pheromone Investment Despite Frequent Within‐Host Mating in a Parasitoid

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
It is unknown why males of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia giraulti produce large amounts of a costly sex pheromone although they were long thought to mate with their females already before emergence within the host. Mated females do no longer respond to the pheromone.

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

open access: yesEcological 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 ...
