Abstract:
... Complementary sex determination (CSD) is a widespread sex determination mechanism in haplodiploid Hymenoptera. Under CSD, sex is determined by the allelic state of one or multiple CSD loci. Heterozygosity at one or more loci leads to female development, whereas hemizygosity of haploid eggs and homozygosity of diploid eggs results in male development. Sexual (arrhenotokous) reproduction normally yi ...

Asobara; adults; area; body size; eclosion; egg production; eggs; face; females; habitats; insects; interspecific variation; lipids; parasitic wasps; phylogeny; prediction; resource allocation
Abstract:
... The majority of adult parasitoid wasps are unable to synthesize lipids and therefore face a trade‐off between the investment of lipids in eggs or in the maintenance of soma. It has been shown that resource allocation should depend on body size in parasitoids. Given that smaller females have shorter expected life times, they should concentrate their reproductive effort into early life. To test this ...

Twenty-three of these plant species were infested with tephritid larvae. Twelve species of Anastrepha were recovered in different proportions: Anastrepha striata (82.65%), Anastrepha coronilli (6.63%), Anastrepha obliqua (5.4 ...

Abstract:
... Infection with Wolbachia is known to induce diploidization of haploid eggs and enables the production of females from unfertilized eggs. Although there have been several attempts to achieve the artificial horizontal transfer of thelytoky-inducing Wolbachia in parasitoid wasps, the artificial induction of thelytoky has generally been unsuccessful. In this study, we used two strains of Asobara japon ...

Abstract:

Here we investigate fitness effects of parasitism by Asobara species in relation to the pupation behaviour of the host, Drosophila melanogaster. We found that Asobara citri parasitized larvae pupate higher in rearing jars compared to unparasitized controls, while A. tabida ...

Both the number of circulating hemocytes and the phenoloxidase a ...

Nine species of native hymenopteran parasitoids associated with eigh ...

Abstract:

Recent studies have shown that male-killing strains can induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) when introgressed into a resistant host. Phylogenetic studies suggest that transitions between CI and other Wolbachia phenotypes have also occurred frequently, raising the possibility that latent CI may be wides ...

Abstract:
... Ovipositing Asobara japonica females inject venom (containing paralysis-inducing factors) immediately after the insertion of their ovipositors into Drosophila larvae, and lay eggs a little later. Interruption of their oviposition behaviour before egg laying causes high larval mortality in host Drosophila species, whereas normal oviposition does not. This suggests that venom of this parasitoid is t ...

Abstract:
... Drosophila suzukii is native to East Asia and an invasive pest of fruit crops widely established in the Americas and Europe.

Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) was associated with A. serpentina (Wied.) in Pouteria caimito, A. bahiensis Lima in Helicostylis tomentosa, A. sororcula Zucchi in Eugenia uniflora, and A. obliqua (Macquart) in Spondias purpurea. Anatrepha obliqua was unique in fruits of Averrhoa cara ...

Abstract:
... Ecological communities are composed of many species, forming complex networks of interactions. Current environmental changes are altering the structure and species composition of ecological networks, which could modify interactions, either directly or indirectly. To predict changes in the functioning of communities, we need to understand whether species interactions are primarily driven by network ...

... Unlike other Drosophila species, the invasive Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) shows a remarkable pest status. Among the physiological traits that may explain the high level of resistance to parasitoids of Drosophila larvae, the haemocyte load is shown repeatedly to play an important role. To determine whether haemocyte load can explain immunity resistance of D. suzukii to par ...

Although generally facultative for its hosts, Wolbachia has recently become obligatory in Asobara tabida (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in which it is required for the completion of oogenesis. Here, we describe a new Wolbachia strain (wAjap) that is associate ...
