A Parasitoid Wasp Induces Overwintering Behaviour in Its Spider Host
Parasites and parasitoids control behaviors of their hosts. However, the origin of the behavior evoked by the parasitic organism has been rarely identified. It is also not known whether the manipulation is universal or host-specific. Polysphinctine wasps, koinobiont ectoparasitoids of several spider species that manipulate host web-spinning activity for their own protection during pupation, pro...
متن کاملParasitoid wasp usurps its host to guard its pupa against hyperparasitoids and induces rapid behavioral changes in the parasitized host
Some parasites have an ability to fabricate the behavior of their host and impel the host to guard parasites' offspring, which is popularly called as bodyguard manipulation. Psalis pennatula larva parasitized by a braconid parasitoid wasp Microplitis pennatula exhibits some behavioral changes including the guarding of the parasitoid pupa from its natural enemies. We hypothesized that these beha...
متن کاملProximate mechanism of behavioral manipulation of an orb-weaver spider host by a parasitoid wasp
Some ichneumonid wasps induce modifications in the web building behavior of their spider hosts to produce resistant "cocoon" webs. These structures hold and protect the wasp's cocoon during pupa development. The mechanism responsible for host manipulation probably involves the inoculation of psychotropic chemicals by the parasitoid larva during a specific developmental period. Recent studies in...

متن کاملAeronautic behaviour in the wasp - like spider ,
In only a few decades, A. brllennichi has colonized vast areas of continental Europe. This was most likely achieved by the ballooning of young spiderlings. Its original distribution was largely restricted to the Meditenanean. This makes A. brllennichi an interesting object for studying the proximate factors, behavioural and micrometeorologicaL which lead to this rapid mode of dispersal. After e...
