The pay‐off from superparasitism in the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis, in relation to patch defence

Ecological Entomology, 1997
1. In species such as quasi‐gregarious egg parasitoids, which exploit defendable patches, the fitness pay‐off from superparasitism is an important factor in considering the evolution of patch defence and optimal patch defence strategies.2. When oviposition in a previously parasitized host has a non‐zero fitness pay‐off, competing parasitoids are not ...

Development and Emergence of Telenomus chloropus and Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) at Various Temperatures and Relative Humidities

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1985
Effects of eight constant temperatures ranging from 15 to 36°C and eight constant relative humidities ranging from 64 to 100% RH on development and emergence of Telenomus chloropus Thomson and Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) were determined using Nezara viridula (L.) eggs as hosts. Developmental time of T.

Effects of Host Egg Mass Size on Sex Ratio and Oviposition Sequence of Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

Environmental Entomology, 1998
This study examines the influence of the size of the host patch (egg mass size) on the sex ratio produced by the scelionid egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) under laboratory conditions. The influence of this factor on the sequence in which male and female eggs are laid also is analyzed.

Response of the Egg Parasitoids Trissolcus basalis and Telenomus podisi to Compounds from Defensive Secretions of Stink Bugs

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2009
We tested the hypotheses that host-searching behavior of the egg parasitoids Telenomus podisi and Trissolcus basalis may be differentially influenced by the different blends of volatiles released from the metathoracic glands of adult stink bug host species.

Cold storage of the egg parasitoids Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) and Telenomus podisi Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

Biological Control, 2006
Abstract Adults of Trissolcus basalis and Telenomus podisi were stored either at 15 or 18 °C after their immature development had been completed at 18 or 25 °C. Longevity of the parasitoids in the storage temperatures was evaluated, as well as fecundity and longevity following their return to 25 °C after different periods in reproductive diapause ...

Patch Exploitation, Patch‐leaving and Pre‐emptive Patch Defence in the Parasitoid Wasp Trissolcus basalis (Insecta: Scelionidae)

, 2010
Female parasitoids forage for host resources essential to the development of their offspring, so patch exploitation decisions have a direct influence on their fitness.

Efficiency of Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) as an Egg Parasitoid of Nezara viridula (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in Central Italy

Environmental Entomology, 1995
The natural control exerted by Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston), a solitary egg parasitoid of Nezara viridula (L.), in soybean fields in central Italy over 6 yr has been assessed. T. basalis was the only egg parasitoid attacking N. viridula egg masses. In total, 260 N. viridula egg masses were collected. Of these, 105 contained at least 1 egg parasitized

Volatile and Contact Chemicals Released by Nezara viridula (Heteroptera:Pentatomidae) Have a Kairomonal Effect on the Egg Parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

, 1999
The responses of females of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) to volatile and contact chemicals from its host Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) were investigated in a Y-tube olfactometer and under

The response of Trissolcus basalis to footprint contact kairomones from Nezara viridula females is mediated by leaf epicuticular waxes

Naturwissenschaften, 2009
Chemical footprints left behind by true bugs are perceived as contact kairomones by scelionid egg parasitoids. Female wasps encountering a contaminated artificial substrate display a characteristic arrestment posture, holding the body motionless and antennating the surface.

Biological control and the species status of two host‐associated populations of Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

Australian Journal of Ecology, 1994
Abstract Populations of the morphologically defined taxon Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) from two major hosts (Nezara viridula [L.] and Agonoscelis rutila [F.]) were tested, using biological criteria, to determine whether they represented populations of one genetical species, or whether they represented populations of two host‐associated sibling ...
