Behavioral Response of The Egg Parasitoid Cosmocomoidea Annulicornis (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) and Characterization of The Chemical Cues That Guide Females Toward Host Eggs Located In Taxonomically Distant Plants Species
Abstract:Parasitoids are known to exploit volatile cues emitted by plants after herbivore attack to locate their hosts. Feeding and oviposition of a polyphagous herbivore can induce emission of odor blends that differ among distant plant species, and parasitoids have evolved an incredible ability to discriminate them and locate their hosts relying on olfactive cues. We evaluated the host searching behavior of the egg parasitoid Cosmocomoidea annulicornis (Ogloblin) (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in response to odors emitted … Show more
