Abstract:
... Some species of cynipid wasp engage in mutualisms with ants by producing nectar‐secreting galls, providing carbohydrates, and receiving protection from parasitoids. The galls are functionally similar to extrafloral nectaries, plant structures well known for their role in ant–plant mutualisms. Though not well known, nectar‐secreting galls may have important ecological and evolutionary implications ...

We evaluated under semi-field conditions the intrinsic competition between Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead), as an invasive parasitoid, and Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) and Utetes anastrephae (Viereck) (all Hymenoptera: Braconidae) as resident parasitoids, as well as that between U. anastrephae as an invader and D. areolatus as a resident. The percentage of live D. areolatus larvae d ...

Abstract:
... The harlequin ladybeetle Harmonia axyridis is a rapidly spreading invasive ladybug species. Parasitoids can be considered in view of the possible use of these organisms for the regulation of H. axyridis population size. The species did not experience considerable parasitoid pressure in the invaded territories during the first years after the beginning of the global invasion in 1996, but the share ...

We assume that i) the native host and parasitoid are seasonally synchronous; ii) there is no direct competition for resources between the two host species (one native, one alien); and iii) the introduced alien host population (the alterna ...
