The impact of host aggressiveness on sex allocation by the gregarious parasitoid wasp Cotesia glomerata (L.).
Parasitoid wasps lay female eggs or a high proportion of female eggs in favourable host insects because female wasps require many more resources during their development. Many studies have tested the effects of host physiological status on the sex allocation of parasitoids, but few have attempted to test the effects of host behavioural traits. Cotesia glomerata is a gregarious parasitoid wasp t...
متن کاملHerlihy et al.: Distribution of Cotesia rubecula and Displacement of C. glomerata 461 DISTRIBUTION OF COTESIA RUBECULA (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE) AND ITS DISPLACEMENT OF COTESIA GLOMERATA IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA
A survey was conducted from May to Oct of 2011 of the parasitoid community of the imported cabbageworm, Pieris rapae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), in cole crops in part of the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. The findings of our survey indicate that Cotesia rubecula (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) now occurs as far west as North Dakota and has become the dominant parasitoid of P. rapae in th...
متن کاملThe mechanism of the emergence of Cotesia kariyai (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) larvae from the host
At maturity, the endoparasitoid larvae of several subfamilies of the Braconidae have to emerge from inside of the host to pupate. Although the hosts hormonal milieu and the timing of larval parasitoid emergence have been studied, no report has yet focused on the physiological state of the host in connection with the emergence behavior of endoparasitoids. We investigated the mechanism of larval ...

We used mitochondrial DNA sequence data and 12 microsatellite loci to examine the genetic structure of Cotesia melitaearum (Wilkinson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid wasp reared from two common butterßy species, Melitaea cinxia (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) and Euphydryas aurinia (Rottemburg) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), acrossmany localities in Europe and Asia, aswell as from fourmor...
