Diurnal rhythms of emergence host feeding and oviposition of <i>Eretmocerus warrae</i> (Hymenoptera Aphelinidae)

Does Certain Host and Food Deprivation Period Affect Host Feeding and Oviposition Behaviour of Eretmocerus warrae (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)

Eretmocerus warrae (Naumann and Schimdt) is a thelytokous aphelinid parasitoid of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood). It was first detected in New Zealand in 1997 during a survey of greenhouses in Auckland. We investigated the effects of certain duration of food and host deprivation after emergence on feeding, oviposition behavior and egg resorption of E. warrae with ...

Parasitism of a Factitious Host, Galleria Mellonella (lepidoptera: Pyralidae) by an Endoparasitoid: Oviposition and Emergence of Microplitis Croceipes (hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Circadian and Feeding Rhythms Orchestrate the Diurnal Liver Acetylome

Lysine acetylation is involved in various biological processes and is considered a key reversible post-translational modification in the regulation of gene expression, enzyme activity, and subcellular localization. This post-translational modification is therefore highly relevant in the context of circadian biology, but its characterization on the proteome-wide scale and its circadian clock dep...

Timing of host feeding drives rhythms in parasite replication

Circadian rhythms enable organisms to synchronise the processes underpinning survival and reproduction to anticipate daily changes in the external environment. Recent work shows that daily (circadian) rhythms also enable parasites to maximise fitness in the context of ecological interactions with their hosts. Because parasite rhythms matter for their fitness, understanding how they are regulate...

Records and descriptions of some Aphelinidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from India

Two new species, Centrodora flemingiae Hayat, sp. nov. and Proaphelinoides assamensis Hayat, sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), are described. The latter species is described for an Indian specimen earlier misidentified as P. australis Girault. Also, the following five species are recorded: Coccophagus fumadus Hayat, C. longifasciatus Howard, C. zebratus Howard, Eriaphytis chackoi Subba Rao a...
