Current Understanding and Future Prospects of Host Selection, Acceptance, Discrimination, and Regulation of Phorid Fly Parasitoids That Attack Ants

Abstract: Phorid fly parasitoids (Diptera: Phoridae) have evolved a diverse array of cues used to successfully parasitize their ant hosts. Successful parasitism often involves (a) host habitat location, (b) host location, (c) host acceptance, (d) host discrimination, and (e) host regulation. In this paper we discuss our current understanding of how phorid flies use each of these steps to successfully parasitize ant hosts. We examine the wide variety of strategies and cues used by a multiple species of phorid flies withi… Show more

“…This study also demonstrates that M. xipe uses A. sericeasur alarm pheromone as a cue to locate prey. Although phorid flies also use the alarm pheromone to locate A. sericeasur hosts, they are attracted to 1-acetyl-2-methylcyclopentane, a less abundant compound within the alarm pheromone blend that is only found in Azteca species ants [23,32,33]. The compound that attracts M. xipe, 2-heptanone, is relatively common in the alarm pheromone of dolichoderine ants.…”

“…Sin embargo, algunos patrones y aspectos teóricos no se pueden generalizar para todas las interacciones parasitoide-hospedero, debido a las diferencias en el origen filogenético de los parasitoides, los tipos de señales usadas para la selección de hospederos, las interacciones ecológicas y la distribución geográfica de los participantes en la interacción (Elizalde, 2009;Elizalde & Folgarait, 2010;Mathis & Philpott, 2011).…”

“…Dado que cada especie de fórido parasitoide utiliza diferentes señales para detectar sus hospederos, y despliega un comportamiento de oviposición particular, es necesario estudiar los patrones de comportamiento de cada especie parasitoide (Bragança, Tonhasca, & Moreira, 2002;Mathis & Philpott, 2011); así como las respuestas defensivas de las hormigas ante los ataques, porque de esto depende la formación y mantenimiento de sus interacciones (Fellowes & Godfray, 2000;Elizalde, 2009). Los comportamientos descritos tienen una base genética, se estructuraron y optimizaron por procesos de selección natural (Roitberg, Boivin, & Vet, 2001;Rodríguez & Arredondo-Bernal, 2007) y por mantenerse a lo largo del tiempo, permiten dilucidar el efecto sobre el moldeado evolutivo de estas interacciones ecológicas (Elizalde, 2009) y apoyar en la comprensión de la comunicación multimodal entre dichas especies (Mathis & Philpott, 2011).…”

“…At the habitat level, two factors are important when parasites search for potential hosts: habitat preference (Townes 1960, Quilici and Rousse 2012, Mathis and Philpott 2012) and habitat complexity (Tylianakis et al 2005(Tylianakis et al , 2007Feener 2007, 2012;Vás-quez-Ordóñ ez et al 2012). Different habitat types vary spatially and temporally in terms of microclimate (Hsieh and Perfecto 2012), abundance and density of host colonies (Henne et al 2008), and habitat complexity, each of which may promote greater diversity of parasitoids (Steffan-Dewenter 2002, Sperber et al 2004, Hsieh andPerfecto 2012).…”
