The literature contains many examples of changes induced by parasites in the behaviour and/or other phenotypic traits of insects. From an evolutionary perspective, the nature of these changes is usually difficult to assess. Parasite-induced changes in host behaviour can be adaptations of either host or parasite, or they can be mere pathological consequences of infection. Of the many criteria and experimental tests necessary to distinguish between adaptations and non-selected consequences, two are particularly important: the demonstration of fitness benefits for either host or parasite associated with the behavioural change, and the elucidation of the proximate mechanism responsible for the behavioural change. Another approach can serve to identify adaptive changes in behavior: mapping specific behavioural alterations on a phylogeny of either hosts or parasites. The usefulness of this approach is illustrated with two examples, acanthocephalan-cockroach associations and insect-fungus associations. The adaptive nature of parasite-induced behavioural changes will always be difficult to evaluate because they are the product of two distinct but interacting genotypes. However, experimental and phylogenetic approaches can provide valuable insights into the evolutionary history of insect-parasite interactions.

“…Two well-documented aspects of the trematode life cycle are relevant to our models. First, many trematode species have been shown capable of manipulating the behaviour of their second intermediate host in order to increase transmission rates to their definitive hosts (e.g, Webber et al 1987;Lafferty and Morris 1996;Mouritsen and Jensen 1997;Helluy and Thomas 2003; see exhaustive review in Moore 2002). Second, there is evidence that metacercariae can compete for resources within the second intermediate host, resulting in reduced growth and future fecundity (Sandland and Goater 2000;Brown et al 2003;Fredensborg and Poulin 2005).…”

Many parasites are known to manipulate the behaviour of intermediate hosts in order to increase their probability of transmission to definitive hosts. This manipulation must have costs. Here we explore the combined effects of three such costs on the amount of effort a parasite should expend on host manipulation. Manipulation can have direct costs to future reproductive success due to energy expended to manipulate the host. There may also be indirect costs if other parasites infect the host and profit from the manipulation without paying the cost of manipulation. These ''free riders'' may impose a third cost by competing with manipulators for resources within the host. Using game theory analysis and several different competition models we show that intrahost competition will decrease the investment that a parasite should make in manipulation but that manipulation can, under some circumstances, be a profitable strategy even in the presence of non-manipulating competitors. The key determinants of the manipulator's success and its investment in manipulation are the relatedness among parasites within the host, the ratio of the passive transmission rate to the efficiency of increasing transmission rate and the strength of competitive effects. Manipulation, when exploited by others, becomes an altruistic behaviour. Thus we suggest that our model may be generally applicable to cases where organisms can exploit the investment of others (possibly kin) while also competing with the organism whose investment they exploit.

Chemoecology of Insect Eggs and Egg Deposition

This is the first book to focus on insect eggs since the publication , in 1981, of Hinton's comprehensive but somewhat amorphous Biology of Insect Eggs, and the only book that has attempted to pull together aspects of the chemoecology of the eggs and oviposition. The first six chapters comprise the section on chemoecology of eggs. Here, I think, the editors have had to struggle to bring together appropriate work, and some of the chapters seem tangential to the topic. The most relevant are those of Gillott, and Eisner and colleagues. Gillott describes the female accessory glands and brings together information on the glandular origins of different chemical products associated with oviposition and the egg. The chapter by Eisner and colleagues brings together the various studies, mostly their own, on the chemicals passed in spermatophores to the female and which subsequently are found in the eggs. This is the first time such a review has been attempted and it is informative, readable and well illustrated. The chapter by Blum and Hilker on Chemical Protection of Eggs is also central to the topic, but suffers from the fact that much of it simply describes the compounds present in adults that are possibly also present in eggs. However, two tables list the compounds that are known to occur in or on eggs and the diversity of formulae is well illustrated. Perhaps it is still too soon to write a really satisfactory account of this topic. The first chapter, by Trougakos and Margaritis, gives a detailed account of egg morphology and egg morphogenesis in Dros-ophila, about which most is known, with reference to the eggs of other species where possible. The last two chapters of this section deal with Brood Protection in Social Insects, by Ayasse and Paxton, and the Role of Microorganisms for Eggs and Progeny, by Kellner. Both are interesting chapters although the information on eggs is almost incidental. The last seven chapters are devoted to the chemoecology of egg deposition. Whether egg deposition is different from oviposition never became clear to me, but that is trivial. Here there is no shortage of material. The first chapter, by Sta¨dlerSta¨dler, is a good survey of the role of plant chemical cues used by insects for locating and identifying host plants. It also includes a brief account of the sensory physiology involved in the perception of chemical cues. This is followed by a most interesting chapter by Hilker and her colleagues entitled The Plant's Response towards Insect Egg Deposition, including the induction of galls. Then comes a review by Anderson of oviposition marking phero-mones in herbivorous and carnivorous insects. Carnivorous, here, refers mainly to Hymenopteran parasitoids, but includes predaceous larvae of coccinellids and chrysopids. Subsequent chapters by McCall, and by Steidle and van Loon consider the chemoecology of oviposition site selection by insects of medical and veterinary importance and by parasitoids and predators, respectively. All these chapters are, rightly, largely descriptive and lack...
