Insect egg deposition induces Pinus sylvestris to attract egg parasitoids.
Plant volatiles released in response to feeding insects are known to attract enemies of the feeding herbivores. In this study, egg deposition by a herbivorous insect was shown to induce a gymnosperm plant to emit volatiles that attract egg parasitoids. Odour from twigs of Pinus sylvestris laden with egg masses of the pine sawfly Diprion pini attracts the eulophid egg parasitoid Chrysonotomyia r...

genic crops is considered a major threat to the durability of these crops (van Rie, 1991; Gould, 1994; McGaughey, Seed mixtures are recommended as a strategy to minimize or avoid 1994). Refugia in the form of susceptible (nontranshaving insects develop resistance to insect-resistant transgenic crops. genic) plants to prevent exposure of some portion of The objective of this study was to evaluat...
متن کاملEco-physiological phases of insect diapause.
Insect diapause is a dynamic process consisting of several successive phases. The conception and naming of the phases is unsettled and, sometimes, ambiguous in the literature. In this paper, the ontogeny of diapause was reviewed and the most often used terms and the best substantiated phases were highlighted, explained and re-defined. The aim was to propose relatively simple and generally appli...
متن کاملBiological Control: Insect Pathogens, Parasitoids, and Predators
Stored product insects cause millions of dollars per year in losses in stored wheat. Traditionally, storedproduct pest management has relied on chemicals to control insects. In some cases, pest management has been improved by applying chemicals only when needed. An increasing effort is being made to reduce or eliminate pesticide residues in the food supply. This trend has increased since the in...
متن کاملEffects of terrestrial pollutants on insect parasitoids.
Parasitoids are important organisms in the regulation of insect herbivores in natural, urban, and agricultural ecosystems. The impact of pollutants acting on parasitoids has not been extensively reviewed. This prompted us to propose a falsifiable null hypothesis (pollutants have no effects on parasitoids) and two alternative hypotheses (pollution negatively or positively affects parasitoids) to...
