Parasitoid Wasps: From Natural History to Genomic Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sequencing of three Nasonia genomes provides new insights on the molecular signature associated with parasitoid lifestyle, allows comparison with the social honey bee, and enables the identification of genes underlying between-species and sex-specific differences.

Intra-Population Genetic Variation in the Temporal Pattern of Egg Maturation in a Parasitoid Wasp
Parasitoid wasps are taxonomically and biologically extremely diverse. A conceptual framework has recently been developed for understanding life-history evolution and diversification in these animals, and it has confirmed that each of two linked life-history traits - the mode of larval development and the temporal pattern of egg maturation - acts as an organiser of life-history. The framework h...
متن کاملIn silico prediction of neuropeptides in Hymenoptera parasitoid wasps
Parasitoid wasps of the order Hymenoptera, the most diverse groups of animals, are important natural enemies of arthropod hosts in natural ecosystems and can be used in biological control. To date, only one neuropeptidome of a parasitoid wasp, Nasonia vitripennis, has been identified. This study aimed to identify more neuropeptides of parasitoid wasps, by using a well-established workflow that ...
متن کاملParasitic wasps learn and report diverse chemicals with unique conditionable behaviors.
Parasitoids exploit numerous chemical cues to locate hosts and food. Whether they detect and learn chemicals foreign to their natural history has not been explored. We show that the parasitoid Microplitis croceipes can associate, with food or hosts, widely different chemicals outside their natural foraging encounters. When learned chemicals are subsequently detected, this parasitoid manifests d...
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: ...

در جریان بررسی دینامیسم جمعیت کرم سیب در منطقهی مراغه واقع در استان آذربایجان شرقی، نمونههایی از لاروهای کامل پارازیتهشدهی کرم سیب از کارتنهای بستهشده روی تنهی درختان سیب در سالهای 86-1385 به دست آمد. از این لاروها، 3 گونه زنبور پارازیتوئید جمعآوری و شناسایی شد که دو گونهی Ascogaster quadridentata Wesmael و Bassus rufipes (Nees) از خانوادهی Braconidae برای اولین بار از ایران گزارش می...
