Foraging behaviour of an egg parasitoid exploiting plant volatiles induced by pentatomids: the role of adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Several phases of herbivorous insect attack including feeding and oviposition are known to induce plant defenses. Plants emit volatiles induced by herbivores to recruit insect parasitoids as an indirect defense strategy.

Scelionidae (Hymenoptera) parasitizing eggs of Bagrada hilaris (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) in Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2019 The painted bug or bagrada bug, Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a key pest of crops in the family Brassicaceae. In this work, three species of Scelionidae (Hymenoptera) are reported for the first time as parasitoids of painted ...

An exotic parasitoid provides an invasional lifeline for native parasitoids
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 277-284, January 2017., 2017 The results of experiments examining the interspecific interactions between a native European egg parasitoid, Trissolcus cultratus, and an Asian parasitoid, Trissolcus japonicus (a candidate for the biological control of Halyomorpha halys), showed that the native species can act as facultative hyperparasitoid of the exotic one.

Prospects of herbivore egg‐killing plant defenses for sustainable crop protection
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 6, Issue 19, Page 6906-6918, October 2016., 2016 Exploiting egg‐killing defense traits should be promising to reduce crop losses in future. However, little is known on the mechanisms and on the genetic basis of egg‐killing traits. In our review article, we address three main topics: (1) the phylogeny and ubiquity of plants expressing insect egg‐killing defenses, (2) mechanisms underlying and to be ...

Effects of Abiotic Factors on HIPV‐Mediated Interactions between Plants and Parasitoids
BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 In contrast to constitutively emitted plant volatiles (PV), herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPV) are specifically emitted by plants when afflicted with herbivores. HIPV can be perceived by parasitoids and predators which parasitize or prey on the respective herbivores, including parasitic hymenoptera.
