Complementary Sex Determination in the Parasitic Wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Plos One, 2015-03)We studied the sex determination in Diachasmimorpha longicaudata, a parasitoid braconid wasp widely used as biological control agent of fruit pest tephritid flies. We tested the complementary sex determination hypothesis ... -
Effects of superparasitism on immature and adult stages of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared on Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2017)The optimal use of available host by parasitoid insects should be favoured by natural selection. For solitary parasitoids, superparasitism (i.e. the egg-laying of several eggs/host) may represent a detrimental phenomenon ... -
Genética y citogenética de la determinación del sexo en Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2011)El parasitoide bracónido Diachasmimorpha longicaudata es ampliamente utilizado como controlador biológico de moscas de los frutos; sin embargo, es escaso el conocimiento disponible sobre su genética. A fin de aportar ... -
Innate Host Habitat Preference in the Parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata: Functional Significance and Modifications through Learning
(2016)Parasitoids searching for polyphagous herbivores can find their hosts in a variety of habitats. Under this scenario, chemical cues from the host habitat (not related to the host) represent poor indicators of host location. ... -
Response of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata to host and host‐habitat volatile cues
(Wiley, 2012-05)Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a fruit fly larval parasitoid, ... -
Transcriptome profiling of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata towards useful molecular tools for population management
(2016)Background: Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary parasitoid of Tephritidae (Diptera) fruit flies of economic importance currently being mass-reared in bio-factories and successfully used ...
