Realized Lifetime Parasitism of Glassy-winged Sharpshooter Egg Masses by Gonatocerus Ashmeadi
1. Objectives The main objective was to measure real lifetime contributions of individual female Gonatocerus ashmeadi to parasitism of glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS) egg masses in citrus orchards. However it is unknown whether G. ashmeadi is proor syn-ovigenic. Gonatocerus parasitoids are generally classified as strictly pro-ovigenic (Jervis and Copland, 1996). Jervis et al. (2001) calculate...
متن کاملDetermination of Homalodisca coagulata (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) egg ages suitable for oviposition by Gonatocerus ashmeadi, Gonatocerus triguttatus, and Gonatocerus fasciatus (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae)
Homalodisca coagulata (Say) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) eggs 1–10 days of age were exposed to Gonatocerus ashmeadi Girault, Gonatocerus triguttatus Girault, and Gonatocerus fasciatus Girault (all Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in no choice laboratory trials to investigate egg age utilization and to determine which egg ages are vulnerable to attack by these three parasitoids. The H. coagulata egg ages th...

متن کاملComparative assessments of Gonatocerus ashmeadi and the ‘new association’ parasitoid Gonatocerus tuberculifemur (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) as biological control agents of Homalodisca vitripennis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)
Egg age preference, competitive ability, and behavior of Gonatocerus tuberculifemur (‘new association’ parasitoid) and Gonatocerus ashmeadi (‘old association’ parasitoid) were investigated in the laboratory to determine if one species exhibited competitive superiority. When searching concurrently for Homalodisca vitripennis egg masses, G. ashmeadi consistently outperformed G. tuberculifemur by ...
متن کاملCold storage effects on maternal and progeny quality of Gonatocerus ashmeadi Girault (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae)
This study determined the effects of cold storage on the survival, development and reproduction of the mymarid wasp, Gonatocerus ashmeadi Girault (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae). Following storage of the immature parasitoids within host eggs of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) under a daily fluctuating temperature for up to 50 d, the quality of...
