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.

Reproductive attributes and functional response of Anastatus japonicus on eggs of Antheraea pernyi, a factitious host

Pest Management Science, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 4679-4688, November 2022., 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.

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 ...

An integrated phylogenetic reassessment of the parasitoid superfamily Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupomorpha) results in a revised familial classification

Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1088-1113, October 2021., 2021
We use a combination of morphological, multi‐locus Sanger sequencing, and whole‐genome sequences to infer the phylogeny of the parasitoid wasp superfamily Platygastroidea. The ancestral hosts of platygastroids were the eggs of Orthoptera. Numerous subsequent host shifts have led to the use of other hosts from an additional eight insect orders and ...

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 ...

Defesas induzidas por herbivoria e interações específicas no sistema tritrófico soja-percevejos-parasitoides de ovos

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2012
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência de voláteis de soja, induzidos pela herbivoria dos percevejos Euschistus heros e Nezara viridula, no comportamento de busca de hospedeiros dos parasitoides Telenomus podisi e Trissolcus basalis.

Egg parasitoid wasps as natural enemies of the neotropical stink bug Dichelops melacanthus Vespas parasitoides de ovos como inimigos naturais do percevejo neotropical Dichelops melacanthus

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2010
The objective of this work was to determine the potential of five species of Scelionidae wasps - Telenomus podisi, Trissolcus basalis, Trissolcus urichi, Trissolcus teretis and Trissolcus brochymenae - as natural enemies of the neotropical stink bug ...

Intraguild interactions between egg parasitoids: window of opportunity and fitness costs for a facultative hyperparasitoid. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
We investigated intraguild interactions between two egg parasitoids of Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), as ...

Key to Nearctic species of Trissolcus Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae), natural enemies of native and invasive stink bugs (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae)

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2015
Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) and T. cultratus (Mayr), comb. rev. are under study as classical biological agents to control the brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål) in North America.
