Interspecific Differences in Host (Diptera: Muscidae) Size and Species Usage among Parasitoid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) in a Poultry House
Fly pupae, primarily house fly (Musca domestica Linnaeus) and stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus)) (Diptera: Muscidae), were collected from a poultry house in northern Indiana, and parasitoid wasps developing in them were allowed to emerge. Fly pupae density, relative species abundance, and size varied with collection date. Four species of parasitoid wasps were reared from the fly pupae:...
متن کاملOdors Help Fruit Flies Escape Parasitoid Wasps
Finding a spot for her babies to grow up can be perilous for a female fruit fly. The wrong choice can sentence most of them to death at the "hands" of another insect mother, a wasp that is likewise searching for a nursery for her young (Fig 1). Wasps in the genus Leptopilina, which are the main parasitoids of Drosophila, lay their eggs in up to 80% of fruit fly larvae in the wild. As the wasp l...
متن کاملبررسی پارازیتیسم تجربی مگس های سینانتروپ Musca domestica ، Lucilia sericata و Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis توسط زنبورهای پارازیتوئید Nasonia vitripennis ، Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae و Spalangia nigroaenea
Background and purpose: One of the most popular methods to control the synanthropic flies is using parasitoid wasps. The aim of this study was to estimate the experimental parasitism rates of pupae of Musca domestica, Lucilia sericata, and Sarcophaga heamorrhoidalis by parasitoid wasps, including Nasonia vitripennis, Spalangia nigroaenea, and Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae. Materials and methods: ...
متن کاملBIOLOGICAL CONTROL Distribution and Abundance of Natural Parasitoid (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) Populations of House Flies and Stable Flies (Diptera: Muscidae) at the University of Florida Dairy Research Unit
From September 2001 through September 2002, house fl y and stable fl y pupae were collected weekly from three fl y habitats at the University of Florida Research dairy in northcentral Florida and evaluated for parasitism. Varying parasitism percentages were observed throughout the study but they were not affected by temperature, precipitation or fl y abundance. Of the 6,222 house fl y pupae and...
متن کاملHost Age Response in the Parasitoid Wasp <Emphasis Type="Italic">Spalangia cameroni</Emphasis> (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)
Female Spalangia cameroni produced more offspring from younger house fly pupae, both when given a choice of host ages and when not given a choice. Host age did not affect offspring survivorship. Offspring were larger when they had developed on younger hosts and the effect was independent of offspring sex. Having previously parasitized old hosts versus young hosts did not reduce a female's produ...
