Types of response of insects on treatment with juvenile hormone active insect...
SummaryThe reactions of immature insects of more than 40 species placed in continuous contact with high doses of juvenile hormone active insect growth regulators were analyzed. 4 different types were...
View ArticleInteraction of vibrational and visual cues in parasitoid host location
Abstract. Female parasitoids are guided by multisensory information during host finding. Individual cues are used in an interactive or a hierarchical manner according to the relative importance on the...
View ArticleEfficiency of vibrational sounding in parasitoid host location depends on...
AbstractParasitoids of concealed hosts have to drill through a substrate with their ovipositor for successful parasitization. Hymenopteran species in this drill-and-sting guild locate immobile pupal...
View ArticleAmbient temperature affects mechanosensory host location in a parasitic wasp
AbstractCertain parasitic wasps (Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) use self-produced vibrations transmitted on plant substrate to locate their immobile concealed hosts (i.e. lepidopteran pupae). This...
View ArticleVariation in Attraction to Host Plant Odors in an Invasive Moth Has a Genetic...
AbstractLepidopteran insects are major pests of agricultural crops, and mated female moths exploit plant volatiles to locate suitable hosts for oviposition. We investigated the heritability of...
View ArticleSeason-Long Volatile Emissions from Peach and Pear Trees In Situ, Overlapping...
AbstractInsect herbivores that have more than one generation per year and reproduce on different host plants are confronted with substantial seasonal variation in the volatile blends emitted by their...
View ArticleAcclimation to Elevated CO2 Increases Constitutive Glucosinolate Levels of...
AbstractPlants growing under elevated CO2 concentration may acclimate by modifying chemical traits. Most studies have focused on the effects of environmental change on plant growth and productivity....
View ArticleAn Adaptable Inertial Sensor Fusion-Based Approach for Energy Expenditure...
AbstractUsing multiple inertial sensors for energy expenditure estimation provides a useful tool for the assessment of daily life activities. Due to the high variety of new upcoming sensor types and...
View ArticleBrassica Plant Responses to Mild Herbivore Stress Elicited by Two Specialist...
AbstractCompensation growth and chemical defense are two components of plant defense strategy against herbivores. In this study, compensation growth and the response of primary and secondary...
View ArticleSelection on olfactory response to semiochemicals from a plant–host complex...
AbstractParasitic wasps (parasitoids) use volatiles from the plants infested by phytophagous insects to locate host herbivores, but their behavioural response to such semiochemicals is highly variable....
View ArticleGenetic relationship between olfactory response and fitness in Cotesia...
AbstractThe flight response of the parasitic wasp Cotesia glomerata (L.) to semiochemicals from a plant-host complex is subject to genetic variation. The significance of additive genetic variance for...
View ArticleSingle-locus sex determination in the parasitoid wasp Cotesia glomerata...
AbstractThe parasitoid Cotesia glomerata usually produces female-biased sex ratios in the field, which are presumably caused by inbreeding and local mate competition (LMC); yet, sibling mating...
