Mating Status of an Herbivorous Stink Bug Female Affects the Emission of Oviposition-Induced Plant Volatiles Exploited by an Egg Parasitoid [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Insect parasitoids are under selection pressure to optimize their host location strategy in order to maximize fitness. In parasitoid species that develop on host eggs, one of these strategies consists in the exploitation of oviposition-induced plant ...

Environmental Entomology, 2014 Parasitoid's performance is subject to parasitism decisions influenced by host quality and parasitoid's age. We evaluated parasitism, emergence, and the progeny sex ratio proportions of Telenomus podisi (Ashmead), Trissolcus urichi (Crawford), and Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) females of different age attacking Piezodorus

A temporal trophic shift from primary parasitism to facultative hyperparasitism during interspecific competition between two coevolved scelionid egg parasitoids. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Competition between two co‐evolved scelionid egg parasitoids was evaluated to better understand the competitive strategies that allow these two species to coexist on the same host. Not only was Trissolcus cultratus the superior intrinsic competitor when it was the first species to parasitize an egg mass, but it was also able to develop as a facultative

, 2017 Chemo-orientation in egg parasitoids, a self-controlled movement in time and space, is led by volatile or substrate-borne chemicals distribution in the environment for purposes of locating host, food, mates and other resources. The perception of these chemical stimuli can be either from a distance by exploiting long-range infochemicals in the case of ...

Single sensillum responses in Trissolcus basalis females to companion plant volatiles
, 2016 In food resources location and selection, parasitoid females spend considerable time examining the substrate with their antennae, where chemosensory, mechanosensory and thermo-hygroreceptive sensilla exist. Olfaction and perception of plant volatiles play a basic role in recognition of nutritional resources. For Trissolcus basalis, an egg parasitoid of

Reproductive attributes and functional response of Anastatus japonicus on eggs of Antheraea pernyi, a factitious host. [PDF]
Pest Manag Sci, 2022 Single 1‐day‐old mated Anastatus japonicus females exhibited a type II functional response to increasing host densities (1–50 Antheraea pernyi eggs), with an inverse host density‐dependent pattern of percent parasitism. The upper limit to the daily attack rate was estimated as 7.6 Antheraea pernyi eggs.

The genome of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae), a model organism and biocontrol agent of stink bugs [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) is a minute parasitic wasp that develops in the eggs of stink bugs. Over the past 30 years, Tr. basalis has become a model organism for studying host finding, patch defense behavior, and chemical ecology.

Host chemical footprints induce host sex discrimination ability in egg parasitoids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Trissolcus egg parasitoids, when perceiving the chemical footprints left on a substrate by pentatomid host bugs, adopt a motivated searching behaviour characterized by longer searching time on patches were signals are present.
