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 ... -
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 ... -
Cytogenetic characterization of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid wasp used as a biological control agent
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2013-07)Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a parasitoid wasp widely used in the biological control of fruit flies. In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the karyotype of this species based on the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Identification and characterization of soluble binding proteins associated with host foraging in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Plos, 2021-06)The communication and reproduction of insects are driven by chemical sensing. During this process, chemical compounds are transported across the sensillum lymph to the sensory neurons assisted by different types of soluble ... -
Identification of candidate genes associated with host-seeking behavior in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(BioMed Central, 2024-02)Background: Diachasmimorpha longicaudata is a hymenopteran fruit fly endoparasitoid. Females of this species find their hosts for oviposition by using complex sensorial mechanisms in response to physical and chemical stimuli ... -
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, ... -
Spermatogenesis in the parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
(2017)The study of spermatogenesis in Hymenoptera is limited to few taxa due to limitations to access the material in the right stage for analysis. The information available up to now states that the gametogenesis in males ...
