Characterization and Generation of Male Courtship Song in Cotesia congregata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
BACKGROUND Male parasitic wasps attract females with a courtship song produced by rapid wing fanning. Songs have been described for several parasitic wasp species; however, beyond association with wing fanning, the mechanism of sound generation has not been examined. We characterized the male courtship song of Cotesia congregata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and investigated the biomechanics of sou...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Microsatellite Loci for Cotesia plutellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated in this transcriptome-based data analysis for Cotesia plutellae, which is an important larval parasitoid of the worldwide pest Plutella xylostella. A subsequent test was performed for a wild C. plutellae population (N = 32) from Fuzhou, Fujian, southeastern China, to verify the effectiveness of the 14 microsatellite loci in future studies o...
متن کاملSelectivity of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) on adults of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).
Understanding mortality patterns and interactions between entomopathogenic fungi and parasitoids is important to improve insect biological control programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff, 1879) Sorokin, 1833 and Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, 1912 (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) on adults of Cotesia flavipes (Cameron, 1891) (Hym...
متن کاملComplex inheritance of male courtship song characters in Drosophila virilis.
We analyzed the inheritance of two male courtship song characters, number of pulses in a pulse train, and length of a pulse train in Drosophila virilis. Biometric analyses of song differences among 16 crosses over three generations (parental and reciprocal F1, F2, and backcrosses) were performed using two different approaches. The joint scaling test revealed significant additive and dominance c...
متن کاملGenetic Basis of Male Courtship Song Traits in Drosophila Virilis
The pattern and the genetic basis of variation in courtship song of D. virilis were studied using three different approaches: a candidate gene, a biometrical and a quantitative trait locus (QTL) method. Nucleotide variation in a candidate song gene, no-on-transientA, was analysed both within the species (D. virilis and D. littoralis) and between the species of the D. virilis group. Nucleotide v...
