The effect of exposure to conspecifics on restlessness in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
When habitat quality is variable, there should be strong selection for the ability to detect and respond to the variation. Adult females of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) are known to increase their restlessness (the proportion of time in locomotion) both during and after exposure to a poor quality host. Doing so provides a mechanism for leaving a poor host and potentially fin...
متن کاملPhylogeny of cytoplasmic incompatibility micro-organisms in the parasitoid wasp genus Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) based on 16S ribosomal DNA sequences.
Cytoplasmic incompatibility results in embryo mortality in diploids, or all male offspring in haplodiploids, when individuals carrying different cytoplasmic factors are crossed. Cytoplasmic factors have been identified as intracellular micro-organisms. Microbe-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility is found in many insect taxa and may play a role in reproductive isolation between populations. Such...
متن کاملAssociative Learning of Color by Males of the Parasitoid Wasp <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nasonia vitripennis</Emphasis> (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
Males of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis showed no innate preference for blue versus yellow or for green versus brown. They learned to associate color with mates, but their ability to do so depended on the color used and the strength of the reward. Specifically, males learned to associate brown or green with a reward of many virgin females. With fewer females, fewer training periods, or...
متن کاملRAPID COMMUNICATION Species-Diagnostic Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism and Sequence-Tagged Site Markers for the Parasitic Wasp Genus Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
Wasps of the genus Nasonia are important biological control agents of house ßies and related Þlth ßies, which are major vectors of human pathogens. Species of Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are not easily differentiated from one another by morphological characters, and molecular markers for their reliable identiÞcation have been missing so far. Here, we report eight single-nucleotide polym...
متن کاملSpecies-diagnostic single-nucleotide polymorphism and sequence-tagged site markers for the parasitic wasp genus Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae).
Wasps of the genus Nasonia are important biological control agents of house flies and related filth flies, which are major vectors of human pathogens. Species of Nasonia (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are not easily differentiated from one another by morphological characters, and molecular markers for their reliable identification have been missing so far. Here, we report eight single-nucleotide p...
