Classical biological control of an invasive forest pest : a world perspective of the management of Sirex noctilio using the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(2015-02)Classical biological control is a key method for managing populations of pests in long-lived crops such as plantation forestry. The execution of biological control programmes in general, as the evaluation of potential ... -
Food and Host Searching Decisions Made by Ibalia leucospoides (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae), a Parasitoid of Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera:Siricidae)
(2012-07)During their adult life, parasitoids—insects that lay eggs in or on other arthropods eventually killing them- spend a significant proportion of their lifetime searching for hosts, this behavior will determine their future ... -
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 ... -
Influencia de los rasgos de historia de vida y del uso de información en la adquisición de recursos y dispersión en el parasitoide Ibalia leucospoides Hochenwarth (Hymenoptera: Ibaliidae)
(Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2014-07)El objetivo central de esta tesis es estudiar como la selección natural moldea los rasgos de historia de vida y el comportamiento de los animales de acuerdo al entorno ecológico en el que viven. Este marco teórico nos ... -
Linking reproductive and feeding strategies in the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides: does feeding always imply profit?
(2013-05)Adquisición y asignación de recursos a diferentes funciones biológicas a lo largo de la vida tienen fuertes implicaciones para el éxito reproductivo de los animales. Los animales pueden experimentar diferentes condiciones ... -
Modelling the distribution of forest pest natural enemies across invaded areas: Towards understanding the influence of climate on parasitoid establishment success
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Classical biological control is a pest management practice frequently deployed against invasive insects. However, introduced natural enemies too often fail to establish, and this has been partly explained by climatic ... -
Patch choice from a distance and use of habitat information during foraging by the parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides
(2012-06)1. In environments in which resources are distributed heterogeneously, patch choice and the length of time spent on a patch by foragers are subject to strong selective pressures. This is particularly true for parasitoids ... -
The Influence of Food and Con-specifics on the Flight Potential of the Parasitoid Ibalia leucospoides
(Springer, 2011-11)For insect parasitoids, knowledge of their flight capability is essential for a general understanding of the relationship with their hosts. For instance, flight capacity might partly determine their efficacy as biological ...
