Journal ArticleDOI
Substrate influences mating success and transmission of courtship vibrations for the parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris
TL;DR: Mating success and transmission of courtship vibrations are suggested to be critical to mating success in C. marginiventris, and future efforts to mass rear this parasitoid and other insects should consider the potential influences of rearing substrates on mating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oviposition behavior of Coccidoxenoides peregrinus, a parasitoid of Planococcus ficus
TL;DR: The behavior and host selection of C. peregrinus indicated that this parasitoid spent the majority of its time searching and grooming and there was a significant preference to probe second, third, and fourth instars rather than first instars of P. ficus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic Population Structure of the Sugarcane Borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), in the Southern United States
Andrea L. Joyce,William H. White,Gregg S. Nuessly,M. Alma Solis,Sonja J. Scheffer,Matthew L. Lewis,Raúl Medina +6 more
TL;DR: Geographic population structure in the southern United States is found which suggests two introductions and the presence of a previously unknown cryptic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of continuous rearing on courtship acoustics of five braconid parasitoids, candidates for augmentative biological control of Anastrepha species
Andrea L. Joyce,Martín Aluja,John Sivinski,S. Bradleigh Vinson,Ricardo Ramirez-Romero,Julio S. Bernal,Larissa Guillén +6 more
TL;DR: The courtship acoustics of five species of parasitoid wasps, potential candidates for augmentative biological control of Anastrepha (Schiner) species, were compared between recently colonized individuals and those continuously reared 70–148 generations, discussing their biological and applied implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive Biology and Search Behavior of Amitus bennetti (Hymenoptera: Platygasteridae), a Parasitoid of Bemisia argentifolii (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)
TL;DR: This parasitoid of whiteflies may be a suitable candidate for use in inundative release programs targeting Bemisia spp.
