Determining Plant – Leaf Miner – Parasitoid Interactions: A DNA Barcoding Approach
A major challenge in network ecology is to describe the full-range of species interactions in a community to create highly-resolved food-webs. We developed a molecular approach based on DNA full barcoding and mini-barcoding to describe difficult to observe plant-leaf miner-parasitoid interactions, consisting of animals commonly regarded as agricultural pests and their natural enemies. We tested...
متن کاملUnusual Baculovirus of the Parasitoid Wasp Apanteles melanoscelus: Isolation and Preliminary Characterization.
A baculovirus present in the female reproductive tract of the parasitoid wasp Apanteles melanoscelus has been isolated and partially characterized. Viral DNA is double stranded, circular, and of highly variable molecular weight ranging from 2 x 10(6) to 25 x 10(6); the DNA is of homogeneous density at rho = 1.694 g/ml. Acrylamide gels resolve 18 polypeptide bands in the case of purified virions...
متن کاملTree phylogenetic diversity promotes host-parasitoid interactions.
Evidence from grassland experiments suggests that a plant community's phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a strong predictor of ecosystem processes, even stronger than species richness per se This has, however, never been extended to species-rich forests and host-parasitoid interactions. We used cavity-nesting Hymenoptera and their parasitoids collected in a subtropical forest as a model system to t...
متن کاملParasitoid load affects plant fitness in a tritrophic system
Plants attacked by herbivorous insects emit volatile compounds that attract predators or parasitoids of the herbivores. Plant fitness increases when these herbivorous insects are parasitized by solitary parasitoids, but whether gregarious koinobiont parasitoids also confer a benefit to plant fitness has been disputed. We investigated the relationship between parasitoid load of the gregarious Co...
متن کاملMultiple attractors in host-parasitoid interactions: coexistence and extinction.
This paper considers the dynamics of a two-dimensional discrete-time model for host-parasitoid interactions, and shows that the model has two attractors: the fixed point where two species coexist and a boundary cycle where the parasitoid is absent. The analysis with the Liapunov exponent confirms that this kind of bistability is common in this model. The generality of this phenomenon in host-pa...
