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 releasing two Diachasmimorpha longicaudata population lines for the control of Ceratitis capitata infesting three key host fruit species
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Exotic plants favor persistence and spread of the invasive medfly, Ceratitis capitata. Peach and orange are key host plants for medfly proliferation in Argentina. Consequently, actions to suppress medfly populations are ... -
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 ...
