Many animals use pheromone marking as a way to identify their territory or other resources. Among insects, substrate-borne marking is frequently reported for females, which in many species make marks containing oviposition deterring pheromone, which other females avoid. However, there are fewer reports of substrate-borne marking for males. Here marking in males of the parasitoid wasp Urolepis r...
متن کاملThe effect of exposure to conspecifics on restlessness in the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
When habitat quality is variable, there should be strong selection for the ability to detect and respond to the variation. Adult females of the parasitoid wasp Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) are known to increase their restlessness (the proportion of time in locomotion) both during and after exposure to a poor quality host. Doing so provides a mechanism for leaving a poor host and potentially fin...
متن کاملMate Location and the Onset of Sexual Responsiveness in the Parasitoid Wasp Spalangia endius (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
In some animals, transformation to the adult stage occurs in a hidden location, such as a burrow or a host. Males that can locate hidden females sooner, e.g., before they emerge, may have amating advantage, particularly if the females are ready tomate.Whether males locate pre-emergent females and whether pre-emergent females will mate was examined in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia endiusWalker. ...
متن کاملSperm Depletion and Mating Behavior in the Parasitoid Wasp Spalangia Cameroni (hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
Mating behavior was examined in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia cameroni. Males attempted copulation with both virgins and already mated females. Males attempted copulation regardless of whether they still had sperm. Already mated females rejected attempts to mate again but virgin females would mate with males regardless of whether or not they had sperm left. Males mated with 12-52 females before...
متن کاملHost Age Response in the Parasitoid Wasp <Emphasis Type="Italic">Spalangia cameroni</Emphasis> (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
Female Spalangia cameroni produced more offspring from younger house fly pupae, both when given a choice of host ages and when not given a choice. Host age did not affect offspring survivorship. Offspring were larger when they had developed on younger hosts and the effect was independent of offspring sex. Having previously parasitized old hosts versus young hosts did not reduce a female's produ...
