Behavioural response of the woodwasp Sirex noctilio to volatile emissions of its fungal symbiont
(2015-01)The wood-boring wasp, Sirex noctilio, is a global invasive pest that infects and kills pine trees by inoculating spores of a symbiotic fungus (Amylostereum areolatum) at oviposition. Wasp larvae depend on fungal growth to ... -
Host selection by Ibalia leucospoides based on temporal variations of volatiles from the hosts’ fungal symbiont
(2016-12)Insect parasitoids locate hosts via reliable and predictable cues such as volatile emissions from hosts and/or host plants. For insects that depend on mutualistic organisms, such as many wood-boring insects, symbiont-derived ... -
Oviposition substrate location by the invasive woodwasp Sirex noctilio: the combined effect of chemical cues emitted by its obligate symbiont Amylostereum areolatum and different host-tree species
(Wiley, 2023-06)BACKGROUND: Sirex noctilio is an invasive forest wasp that affects pines and can result in severe economic losses. The use of semiochemicals offers an opportunity to develop sensitive and specific capturing systems to ...
