Sex- and size-dependent variation in wing morphology of the cuckoo wasp Trichrysis cyanea (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae)

چکیده

Intraspecific variation and sexual dimorphism in wing shape size is common winged insects. The exact patterns, however, differ among taxa are related to the selection pressure acting on specific traits. Cuckoo wasps (Chrysdidae) hymenopterans that have evolved a complex parasitoid or cleptoparasitic life-style. For first time, we studied intraspecific model species, Trichysis cyanea, Palearctic cuckoo wasp. This involved geometric morphometrics combined with novel, non-invasive way of obtaining images, study forewings males females. We found clear both size, possibly fecundity (as typically correlates body many insects) increased manoeuvrability females for searching their host's nesting holes. increases our knowledge biology T. cyanea terms better understanding evolution parasitism corresponding adaptations this hymenopteran family.
