Trichogramma parasitoids alter the metabolic physiology of Manduca eggs.
Egg parasitoids face unique developmental constraints. First, they have exceptionally limited resources to support themselves and their siblings through three life stages. Second, they develop within the physiological system of another species, which they modify to their own ends. We examined how these constraints affect the metabolic physiology of egg parasitism, and whether parasitoids retool...
متن کاملInnate and Learned Olfactory Responses in a Wild Population of the Egg Parasitoid Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)
Parasitoid insects face the fundamental problem of finding a suitable host in environments filled with competing stimuli. Many are deft sensors of olfactory cues emitted by other insects and the plants they live on, and use these cues to find hosts. Using olfactory cues from host-plants is effective because plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in response to herbivory or ovipositio...
متن کاملSelection of Effective Species or Strains of Trichogramma Egg Parasitoids of Diamondback Moth
Twenty-seven Trichogramma and Trichogrammatoidea species or strains of different origin were tested on diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella (L.)) for host acceptance and host suitability. The experiments were conducted at 27 ± 2oC and 75-90% RH. Depending on their initial parasitization activity, the number of offspring produced and emergence ratio, 18 Trichogramrna species were identified as ...
متن کاملInterspecific interaction between Telenomus remus (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) and Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) on Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) eggs.
This work aims to evaluate the interspecific interaction between Trichogramma pretiosum and Telenomus remus, two biological control agents of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) eggs. Eggs of Spodoptera frugiperda previously parasitized by Telenomus remus were offered to Trichogramma pretiosum, and those parasitized by Trichogramma pretiosum were offered to Telenomus remus. The previously par...
متن کاملReflectance-based identification of parasitized host eggs and adult Trichogramma specimens.
A wide range of imaging and spectroscopy technologies is used in medical diagnostics, quality control in production systems, military applications, stress detection in agriculture, and ecological studies of both terrestrial and aquatic organisms. In this study, we hypothesized that reflectance profiling can be used to successfully classify animals that are otherwise very challenging to classify...
