Journal ArticleDOI
Multifaceted determinants of host specificity in an aphid parasitoid
Nicolas Desneux,Nicolas Desneux,Ruth J. Barta,Kim A. Hoelmer,Keith R. Hopper,George E. Heimpel +5 more
TL;DR: The presence of endosymbiotic bacteria conferring resistance to parasitoids, and aphids feeding on toxic plants, and evidence for the toxic plant hypothesis was found for the milkweed aphids Aphis asclepiadis and Aphis nerii highlight the multifaceted nature of factors determining host specificity in Parasitoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of a leafminer–parasitoid community
Anja S. Rott,H. C. J. Godfray +1 more
TL;DR: Quantitative food webs were constructed describing the community of leafmining moths in the genus Phyllonorycter and their parasitoids at a site in southern England and the structure of the parasitoid community was strongly influenced by the host plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does "enemy-free space" exist? experimental host shifts of an herbivorous fly
TL;DR: It is shown that enemy-free space can exist for an herbivorous insect utilizing a novel host plant, and that natural enemies may, in some cases, offset physiological fitness costs often associated with developing in novel plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The colonization of native phytophagous insects in North America by exotic parasitoids
TL;DR: There are no rules of thumb to assist biological control workers in evaluating if an introduced parasitoid will colonize native insect communities, given the quality of the data available and inherent stochasticity in host shifts by parasitoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
What determines host range in parasitoids? An analysis of a tachinid parasitoid community
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that ecological factors are important determinants of host use in these parasitoids and although phylogenetic history may influence the range of hosts used, its power to explain the ecological or taxonomic character ofhosts used appears limited.
