چکیده

Depredadores y parasitoides no intencionados pueden aprovechar las conspicuas señales de apareamiento los insectos para localizar al emisor. Dado que estas interacciones asumir un costo sustancial el emisor señales, la selección puede provocar cambios en sus lo posiblemente contribuya a evolución del sistema comunicación. Comprender historia vida especies interactúan, especialmente espía, es esencial cuantificar mejor presiones selectivas interacciones. La esperanza, Neoconocephalus triops L. (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), parasitado por letal mosca taquínida, Ormia lineifrons Sabrosky (Diptera: Tachinidae) Florida. Recolecté N. campo caracterizar su parasitismo O. determinar eficiencia uso este como hospedero mosca. tasa fue 48,2% aproximadamente mitad machos parasitados (47,2%) estaban superparasitados.

DNA Barcodes for the Northern European Tachinid Flies (Diptera: Tachinidae)

This data release provides COI barcodes for 366 species of parasitic flies (Diptera: Tachinidae), enabling the DNA based identification of the majority of northern European species and a large proportion of Palearctic genera, regardless of the developmental stage. The data will provide a tool for taxonomists and ecologists studying this ecologically important but challenging parasitoid family. ...

A complex mechanism of call recognition in the katydid Neoconocephalus affinis (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae).

Acoustic pattern recognition is important for bringing together males and females in many insect species. We used phonotaxis experiments on a walking compensator to study call recognition in the katydid Neoconocephalus affinis, a species with a double-pulsed call and an atypically slow pulse rate for the genus. Call recognition in this species is unusual because females require the presence of ...

The Mitochondrial Genome of Elodia flavipalpis Aldrich (Diptera: Tachinidae) and the Evolutionary Timescale of Tachinid Flies

Tachinid flies are natural enemies of many lepidopteran and coleopteran pests of forests, crops, and fruit trees. In order to address the lack of genetic data in this economically important group, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the Palaearctic tachinid fly Elodia flavipalpis Aldrich, 1933. Usually found in Northern China and Japan, this species is one of the primary natural e...

History of tachinid classification (Diptera, Tachinidae)

The history of the classification of the Tachinidae (Diptera) is traced from Meigen to the present. The contributions of Robineau-Desvoidy, Townsend, Villeneuve, Mesnil, Herting, Wood and many others are discussed within a chronological, taxonomic, and geographic context. The gradual development of the Tachinidae into its modern concept as a family of the Oestroidea and the emergence of the cla...

What determines the tuning of hearing organs and the frequency of calls? A comparative study in the katydid genus Neoconocephalus (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae).

The calls of five syntopic species of Neoconocephalus varied significantly in their spectral composition. The center-frequency of the narrow-band low-frequency component varied from 7 kHz to 15 kHz among the five species. Hearing thresholds, as determined from whole nerve recordings, did not vary accordingly among the five species but were lowest in the range from 16 kHz to 18 kHz in all five s...
