Testing the habituation assumption underlying models of parasitoid foraging behavior [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Habituation, a form of non-associative learning, has several well-defined characteristics that apply to a wide range of physiological and behavioral responses in many organisms.

Chemical Ecology of Egg Parasitoids Associated with True Bugs
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Parasitoids representing some 15 families of Hymenoptera develop in insect eggs; three of these families, Platygastridae (= Scelionidae), Mymaridae, and Encyrtidae, are associated with Heteroptera. Several species of heteropteran egg parasitoids are or may be important for biological pest control.

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 186, Issue 2, Page 204-215, March 2025.Floral nectar is a sugar‐rich resource which is essential for covering the energetic and nutritional requirements of adult parasitoids. Recent research has shown that floral nectar is ubiquitously colonized by microbes, however how nectar‐inhabiting microbes affect parasitoid performance is poorly investigated.

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2019 The scutellerid shield bug, Deroplax silphoides (Thun.) (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), is a new recorded insect species (in Egypt) attacking the ornamental plant, Dodonaea viscosa (L.). The bug feeds by sucking sap from flowers and green seeds of this plant

Insect–microbe interactions and their influence on organisms and ecosystems
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.Insect‐symbiont interactions can have a variety of impacts on organisms and the ecosystem. These multitrophic interactions can result in differential attraction of beneficial insects or natural enemies. Additinoally, these interactions can influence plant and/or soil health as well as microbiome composition.

Oviposition fluids from adult wasps mediate interspecific competition between parasitoid larvae
Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 31-40, February 2024.Interspecific competition between parasitoid larvae sharing a host is often thought to be resolved by physical combat. We show that injected oviposition fluids also mediate interspecific larval competition. We demonstrate that venom and calyx fluid from a solitary parasitoid can inhibit the development of a gregarious competitor, even in the absence of

Inter and intra-guild interactions in egg parasitoid species of the soybean stink bug complex
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2002 The objective of this research was to evaluate the parasitism behavior of Telenomus podisi Ashmead, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) e Trissolcus urichi Crawford (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on eggs of Nezara viridula L., Euschistus heros F., Piezodorus ...

Genome, 2012 The nearly complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of an egg parasitoid, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston), was sequenced using both 454 and Illumina next-generation sequencing technologies. A portion of the noncoding region remained unsequenced, possibly owing to the presence of repeats.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Plants respond to insect oviposition by emission of oviposition-induced plant volatiles (OIPVs) which can recruit egg parasitoids of the attacking herbivore.
