Associative learning of visual cues in the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata : temporal dynamics and potential consequences on females' fitness
(Wiley, 2024-01)Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a generalist larval-prepupal parasitoid of true fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae). During host-seeking, females use visual information to locate the ... -
Cryptic genetic structure in an Argentinian population of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) evidenced by SSR markers and quantitative traits
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2019-04)In some regions of Argentina and Brazil, the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) causes significant damage to crops. An efficient integrated management program requires knowledge ... -
Evolution of pre‐zygotic and post‐zygotic barriers to gene flow among three cryptic species within the Anastrepha fraterculus complex
(Wiley, 2013-09)Tropical tephritids are ideally suited for studies on population divergence and speciation because they include species groups undergoing rapid radiation, in which morphologically cryptic species and sister species are ... -
Host discrimination in the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata : evidence from virgin female behaviour and egg distribution patterns
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-04)Many parasitoid species discriminate already parasitized hosts, thus avoiding larval competition. However, females incur in superparasitism under certain circumstances. Superparasitism is commonly observed in the artificial ... -
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, ...
