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

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.

Identification and expression of odorant binding proteins in the egg-parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae, Telenominae) [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2021
Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) is an egg-parasitoid of the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (Linneaus) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae). Many behaviors associated with female T.

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.

Integrating Chemical Ecology with Behavioural Bioassays to Understand Host Preferences in the Stink Bug Egg Parasitoids Trissolcus basalis and Trissolcus oenone (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). [PDF]

J Chem Ecol
Abstract Current approaches to assessing potential non-target risks associated with biological control agents are conservative, and they often rely on oviposition experiments conducted in quarantine laboratories. By their nature, such tests offer robust evidence of a parasitoid’s ability to attack and develop in a host.

Mediterranean ants can increase nymph mortality in the stink bug Nezara viridula without interfering with its egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 10, Page 739-744, October 2023., 2023
The Mediterranean ants Crematogaster scutellaris and Tapinoma magnum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) can significantly increase the mortality of nymphs of the stink bug Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). At the same time, they do not damage the eggs and do not interfere with the parasitization activity of Trissolcus basalis (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae),

Biology of Glyphepomis dubia Campos & Souza, 2016 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and the parasitoids Telenomus podisi Ashmead, 1893 and Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston, 1858) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) on rice

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
The life cycle of stink bug, Glyphepomis dubia and the development of two egg parasitoids (Telenomus podisi and Trissolcus basalis) were studied at the Federal University of Maranhão, at 26 ± 2oC, relative humidity (RH) of 60 ± 10% and 12h photophase ...

Parasitoids of the invasive Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) in Bulgaria [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2022
The southern green stink bug Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) is a polyphagous species that causes economic damages to many crops in Bulgaria. The aim of this study was to identify the parasitoid species that could suppress the populations of Nezara viridula ...

Anatomy and evolution of the head of Dorylus helvolus (Formicidae: Dorylinae): Patterns of sex‐ and caste‐limited traits in the sausagefly and the driver ant

Journal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 11, Page 1616-1658, November 2021., 2021
The sexual dimorphism of ants is understudied, relative to the within‐sex polyphenism of females. Through comparison of male and female Dorylus, we discovered that the reproductives share specific head features to the exclusion of workers—a previously unrecorded phenomenon which suggests that there is an additional axis of morphogenetic variation in ...
