Aphid-parasitoid community structure on genetically modified wheat.
Since the introduction of genetically modified (GM) plants, one of the main concerns has been their potential effect on non-target insects. Many studies have looked at GM plant effects on single non-target herbivore species or on simple herbivore-natural enemy food chains. Agro-ecosystems, however, are characterized by numerous insect species which are involved in complex interactions, forming ...
متن کاملA landscape view of cereal aphid parasitoid dynamics reveals sensitivity to farm- and region-scale vegetation structure
Functioning of plant-aphid-natural enemy interactions may be associated with the structure and composition of withinfield vegetation, neighborhood fields and field borders, and the regional plant community of cropped and noncropped areas. Farmand region-scale vegetation in the wheat-growing area of the North American Great Plains was hypothesized to effect the abundance of two hymenopteran para...
متن کاملCoevolutionary fine-tuning: evidence for genetic tracking between a specialist wasp parasitoid and its aphid host in a dual metapopulation interaction.
In the interaction between two ecologically-associated species, the population structure of one species may affect the population structure of the other. Here, we examine the population structures of the aphid Metopeurum fuscoviride, a specialist on tansy Tanacetum vulgare, and its specialist primary hymenopterous parasitoid Lysiphlebus hirticornis, both of which are characterized by multivolti...
متن کاملIndirect Effect of a Transgenic Wheat on Aphids through Enhanced Powdery Mildew Resistance
In agricultural ecosystems, arthropod herbivores and fungal pathogens are likely to colonise the same plant and may therefore affect each other directly or indirectly. The fungus that causes powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis tritici) and cereal aphids are important pests of wheat but interactions between them have seldom been investigated. We studied the effects of powdery mildew of wheat on tw...
متن کاملGuild structure of aphid parasitoids in broccoli: influence of host and neighbouring crops
Naturally occurring parasitoids may provide sufficient control of aphid pests in fields undisturbed by insecticides. Yet the efficacy of these parasitoids may be strongly influenced by characteristics of their hosts and by the availability of alternative hosts in neighbouring crops. In the present study, parasitoid guild structure was compared in two aphid species, Brevicoryne brassicae and Lip...
