“…To date, studies on T. beneficus have mainly focused on its behavior, population dynamics, and success as a natural enemy to control the population of D. kuriphilus on chestnut trees (Kato and Hijii 1999;Quachia et al 2008;Wachi and Abe 2009). It has been reported that several leaf characteristics of C. crenata were altered as an induced response to attack by D. kuriphilus (Triyogo and Yasuda 2013). For example, the leaf nitrogen concentration in galled shoots was higher, while the leaf biomass was lower on galled shoot than that on ungalled shoots.…”

“…Recently, research on plant-insect interactions has addressed not only the interactions between one plant and one insect species (Kessler and Baldwin 2002;Mithofer and Boland 2012) but also have reached up to community level (Ohgushi 2005;Poelman et al 2011a, b). For defending herbivores, plants have evolved a variety of responses (plant induced responses) such as developmental (Damman 1989;Karban and Myers 1989;), phenological (Stephens and Westoby 2015; Oliveira et al 2016), physical (Triyogo and Yasuda 2013), and chemical responses (Karban and Baldwin 1997;Poelman and Dicke 2018); and these responses in turn, may influence other insects other than herbivores, such carnivores Arthropoda that manage the population of herbivorous (Hilker and Meiners 2010;Mumm and Dicke 2010).…”

“…This may, in turn, affect the behavior of subsequent herbivores attacking the host plant, and thus, can have large effects on community composition at the second, third, and even higher trophic levels (Stam et al 2014). Several studies have been conducted to investigate the modification of plant traits due to feeding damage, using herbivores belonging to different feeding guilds such as gall-making insects (Nakamura et al 2003;Tewari et al 2013;Triyogo and Yasuda 2013), leaf feeders (Vijaya and Rani 2017), sucking insects (Rani and Jyothsna 2010;da Silva et al 2016), insect borers (Calderón-Cortés 2016), and phloem-feeders (Abbate et al 2018). Yet most studies on direct or indirect defenses of plants against herbivory have treated herbivores as individual stressors.…”

“…Here, we have designed the first field study to investigate the indirect effects of a native parasitoid wasp, T. beneficus, on the abundance and performance of an herbivore, the aphid, Myzocallis kuricola (Matsumura) (Homoptera: Aphididae) subsequently attacking the chestnut leaves. Such indirect effects might be expected (Triyogo and Yasuda 2013). Under the concept of interactions across three trophic levels, when a parasitoid parasitizes an herbivore, the parasitoid larva can affect the performance of the herbivore such that the herbivore interacts differently with the host plant (Poelman et al 2011a).…”

Abstract. Triyogo A, Yasuda H. 2019. The effects of a parasitoid wasp of a gall-making insect on host plant characteristics and the abundance of sharing host-plant herbivore. Biodiversitas 20: 3499-3507. The present study has evaluated the indirect, top-down effects of a parasitoid wasp, Torymus beneficus Yasumatsu et Kamijo (Hymenoptera: Torymidae), of a gall-maker, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), on the characteristics of the chestnut tree, Castanea crenata Siebold & Zucc. (Fagales: Fagaceae), and the implications for other herbivores, the aphid, Myzocallis kuricola (Matsumura) (Homoptera: Aphididae). sharing the same host plant. In a field experiment, the behavior of D. kuriphilus larvae on chestnut tree was influenced by the T. beneficus as indicated by a small increment of gall volume. However, parasitism did not affect certain other leaf characteristics that were induced by the gall wasp. Here we show that the characteristics of chestnut tree induced by the gall-making wasp affected M. kuricola that subsequently attacked the chestnut tree. However, the hypothesis that top-down effects by natural enemies may affect other herbivores on chestnut tree through its influence on gall-making wasp was not supported in this study. This study shows that parasitism of a gall-maker does not affect the other herbivore sharing the same host plant. Furthermore, the top-down effects of the parasitoid's behavior on plants may have different effects on sharing host herbivores that attack galled plants.

Indirect interactions between herbivorous insects that share the same host have been focused on insects feeding on herbaceous plants, while few studies investigate similar interactions on woody plants. We investigated performance and feeding behavior of two citrus aphids, Aphis spiraecola Patch and Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, on sweet orange as affected by prior infestation of conspecifics and heterospecifics. Results showed that pre-infestation-induced interactions between A. spiraecola and T. citricida were asymmetric, with A. spiraecola gaining more fitness. In detail, pre-infestation by A. spiraecola decreased adult weight, enhanced survival rate and accelerated phloem sap acceptance of conspecifics. However, A. spiraecola pre-infestation did not affect performance or feeding behavior of T. citricida. In another infestation sequence, the pre-infestation of T. citricida did not affect conspecifics, but positively affected heterospecifics, indicated as a decreased pre-reproductive period, enhanced survival rate, adult weight, fecundity, and feeding efficiency, i.e., faster access and acceptance of phloem sap, and longer phloem sap ingestion duration. Furthermore, we found A. spiraecola pre-infestation enhanced amino acid concentration, amino acid to sugar ratio, activated salicylic acid and jasmonic acid marker gene expression, while T. citricida pre-infestation only depressed jasmonic acid marker gene expression. Changes in nutrient and phytohormone-dependent defense probably underlie the asymmetric effect.

The chestnut gall wasp (CGW), Dryocosmus kuriphilus, an invasive pest native to China, has caused severe yield and economic losses to chestnut production in Europe since its arrival in 2002. In Southern Italy, the complex of indigenous parasitoids colonizing CGW was monitored between 2013 and 2015, with the aim of estimating the composition of the indigenous parasitoid complex, its ability to control CGW populations, and the interactions of both factors with several measured environmental parameters. We compared results among three differently managed field types. Results showed an increase in the rate of parasitism both when the host population density was lower and in unmanaged chestnut stands with more natural conditions. The percentage of parasitism in galls was related to morphological traits of the galls and to higher seasonal temperatures, which reduced the parasitism intensity because CGW develops earlier under such conditions. The host-parasitoid mortality inside galls varied among sites and was associated mostly with rot fungi during wet spring and summer months. Parasitoid species richness was similar among the study sites, but the proportion of parasitoid species differed between orchards and unmanaged coppice stands. The timing of attack by parasitoids followed a species-specific successional sequence throughout the larva-to-adult life cycle of the CGW. These interactions should be considered in future research on trophic relationships and when modeling invasive scenarios for new pest species.
