Effects of sugar feeding on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in a parasitoid wasp

The results suggest that dietary sucrose is used to synthesize trehalose and glycogen, but not lipids in M. grandii, and that egg maturation rate was higher in starved than in sugar‐fed females.
Moth uses fine tuning for odour resolution

Male moths, when responding to their species' blend of sex pheromones, cease their upwind flight when additional compounds are added to the mixture, suggesting a fine discrimination between the occurrence of pherumone and antagonist.
Fine-scale resolution of closely spaced pheromone and antagonist filaments by flying male Helicoverpa zea
- H. Fadamiro, A. Cossé, T. Baker
- BiologyJournal of Comparative Physiology
- 15 August 1999
Results suggest that male H. zea are able to distinguish between odor sources separated by as little as 1 mm in space and 0.001 s in time, which is well within the limits of a male moth's ability to resolve closely spaced odor filaments.
Abundance of antennal chemosensilla in two parasitoid wasps with different degree of host specificity may explain sexual and species differences in their response to host‐related volatiles

The endoparasitic wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), Microplitis croceipes (specialist), and Cotesia marginiventris (generalist) are parasitoids of lepidopteran larvae that differ in their degree of…

Differences in the ratios of identical volatile compounds between similar volatile blends may be used by specialist parasitoids to discriminate between host-plant and non-host-plant complexes.
Lifespan and patterns of accumulation and mobilization of nutrients in the sugar‐fed phorid fly, Pseudacteon tricuspis

Data suggest that adult P. tricuspis are capable of converting dietary sucrose to body sugars and glycogen, but not lipids, and that these teneral amounts represent the highest lipid levels detected in adult flies, irrespective of their diet.
Differential electroantennogram response of females and males of two parasitoid species to host-related green leaf volatiles and inducible compounds.

- 1 October 2007
Compared to the possible roles of green leaf volatiles and inducible compounds in the ecology of female and male parasitoids, Cotesia marginiventris females and males showed greater EAG responses than counterpart M. croceipes to the tested compounds at various doses, suggesting that the generalist parasitoid shows greater antennal sensitivity than the specialist to the testing host-plant volatile.
Flying Beetles Respond as Moths Predict: Optomotor Anemotaxis to Pheromone Plumes at Different Heights

- Environmental Science, BiologyJournal of insect behavior
- 1 July 1998
Results are presented of the first test of a set of predictions, the effect of flight height on ground speed, on a beetle, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), suggesting that they use orientation mechanism similar to those of moths.
Diversity and Seasonal Abundance of Predacious Mites in Alabama Satsuma Citrus

Analysis of fruit, leaf and orchard ground cover plant samples collected in fall (October) 2005 showed greater abundance of phytoseiid mites on ground cover plants than on citrus fruit and leaves, suggesting that ground cover Plants may serve as overwintering reservoirs for predacious mites.
