Incomplete removal of Wolbachia with tetracycline has two-edged reproductive effects in the thelytokous wasp Encarsia formosa (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)
Wolbachia pipientis are intracellular endosymbionts that induce parthenogenesis in the parasitoid Encarsia formosa. Previous studies that focused on effects of Wolbachia on the wasp usually used tetracycline to remove Wolbachia without concern for the joint influences of tetracycline and Wolbachia. Here we treated the wasps (F0 lines) with tetracycline to produce offspring (F1 lines) which were...
متن کاملOvicide in the whitefly parasitoid, Encarsia formosa.
The oviposition decisions made by insect parasitoids when encountering hosts of variable quality have been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental investigation. For parasitoids that lay their eggs inside the host, the possible outcomes of encounters with parasitized hosts have been assumed to include only oviposition (superparasitism), rejection, or in some cases feeding on host ...
متن کاملEgg Size, Intrinsic Competition, and Lethal Interference in the Parasitoids Encarsia pergandiella and Encarsia formosa
Recent population dynamic theory predicts that disruption of biological control may occur when one parasitoid species’ superiority in intrinsic competition is associated with a lower ability to find and exploit hosts (i.e., ability in extrinsic competition). One might expect such a trade-off, for instance, if parasitoids with larger (and fewer) eggs are more likely to prevail in intrinsic compe...
متن کاملthe effect of imidacloprid on trialeurodes vaporariorum and parasitoid wasp (encarsia formosa)
the effect of imidacloprid on the greenhouse whitefly and parasitoid wasp studied in greenhouse conditions, on lantana camara l., in a completely randomized block design with five treatments of 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, and 0.16 g/liter of insecticide and control (water) for two periods of short and long term (seven and 125 days after treatment). in short term the difference of mean of the adults’ mort...
متن کاملElevated O3 enhances the attraction of whitefly-infested tomato plants to Encarsia formosa
We experimentally examined the effects of elevated O₃ and whitefly herbivory on tomato volatiles, feeding and oviposition preferences of whiteflies and behavioural responses of Encarsia formosa to these emissions on two tomato genotypes, a wild-type (Wt) and a jasmonic acid (JA) defence-enhanced genotype (JA-OE, 35S). The O₃ level and whitefly herbivory significantly increased the total amount ...
