1. Foraging by Drosophila melanogaster Larvae in a Patchy Environment

Author:
John Ringo
Source:
Journal of insect behavior 2018 v.31 no.2 pp. 176-185
ISSN:
0892-7553
Subject:
Drosophila melanogaster; agar; eggs; foraging; genetic variation; hatching; insect behavior; instars; larvae; rearing; sand; vegetables
Abstract:
... The food resources of Drosophila comprise decaying vegetable matter distributed in patches, yet foraging behavior has not been examined in larvae reared continuously in a patchy environment. Here, the extent and rate of inter-patch movement was studied in larvae of four wild strains of D. melanogaster inhabiting an experimental arena from the egg stage to the third larval instar. The hypotheses we ...

Journal of insect behavior 2018 v.31 no.2 pp. 200-209
ISSN:

Subject:
Apis; females; flight; insect behavior; males; mating behavior; mating systems; microsatellite repeats; oviposition; polyandry; progeny; queen honey bees; reproductive success; thorax
Abstract:
... The mating system of honey bees (genus Apis) is extremely polyandrous, where reproductive females (queens) typically mate with 12 or more males (drones) during their mating flight(s). The evolutionary implications for hyperpolyandry have been subject to considerable debate and empirical testing because of the need to understand the proximate mechanisms that drive such extreme mating behavior despi ...

Aphis gossypii; Chrysoperla carnea; Tapinoma; aphidophagous predators; insect behavior; natural enemies; predation; predators
Abstract:
... In this study the changes in Aphis gossypii Glover populations tended by the homopteran- tending ant, Tapinoma simrothi Krausse when exposed to the natural enemies Chrysoperla carnea Stephens and Coccinellia septempunctata Mulsant was studied. We also studied the effect of ant’s attendance on the consequence of intraguild predation (IGP) between these two predators. The presence of ants T. simroth ...

Journal of insect behavior 2018 v.31 no.2 pp. 158-175

Subject:
Tenodera aridifolia; animals; aposematic species; bitterness; color; energy; foraging; honey bees; insect behavior; learning; palatability; predators; selection pressure; toxicity
Abstract:
... Animals learn to associate sensory cues with the palatability of food in order to avoid bitterness in food (a common sign of toxicity). Associations are important for active foraging predators to avoid unpalatable prey and to invest energy in searching for palatable prey only. However, it has been suggested that sit-and-wait predators might rely on the opportunity that palatable prey approach them ...

Abstract:
... Diaphorina citri is a major pest of citrus because it transmits Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, a phloem-limited bacterium that putatively causes Huanglongbing (HLB). The disease moves slowly through a tree, and the vector facilitates further within-tree movement via transmission of the pathogen. However, this only happens when D. citri stylets contact the phloem, to inoculate bacteria during p ...

6. Mating Status Effects on Sexual Response of Males and Females in the Parasitoid Wasp Urolepis rufipes

Author:

ISSN:

Subject:
Urolepis rufipes; copulation; insect behavior; males; parasitic wasps; virgin females; wings
Abstract:
... Although mate preferences are most commonly examined in females, they are often found in both sexes. In the parasitoid wasp Urolepis rufipes, both female and male mating status affected certain aspects of sexual interactions. Female mating status mattered only in the later stages of mating. Males did not discriminate between virgin and mated females in terms of which they contacted or mounted firs ...

Abstract:
... Most ants live in closed societies from which non-members are excluded through fighting or ritualized displays to protect colony resources. Nestmate recognition is the process by which ants discriminate nestmate from non-nestmate ants. Ants use cues coded in mixtures of long-chain hydrocarbon compounds on the cuticle as nestmate recognition cues. Pavement ants (Tetramorium caespitum) form conspicu ...

Abstract:
... Dispersal ability is among the key factors affecting the survival of species in today’s fragmented landscapes. One of the most straightforward methods to provide direct measures of animal dispersal is telemetry. Despite its merits, this method has rarely been used for saproxylic beetles. In this study, we examined dispersal ability of the Great Capricorn beetle Cerambyx cerdo (Coleoptera: Cerambyc ...

Abstract:
... The Sirex woodwasp, Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is considered a secondary pest of pine in its native range but has caused considerable economic losses in pine plantation forests in the southern hemisphere. In Brazil, trap trees are the primary tool used for early detection purposes but these are costly, labor-intensive to install and require stressing trees by herbicide application. Fl ...
