Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resources University, Mollasani, Ahvaz, Iran. 2. East-Azarbaijan Research Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources, Tabriz, Iran. Abstract: This is the first report of two ectoparasitoid wasps, Elachertus inunctus (Nees, 1834) in Iran and Elachertus pulcher (Erdös, 1961) (Hym.: Eulophidae) in the world, that parasitize larvae of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lep.: Gelechiidae). The specimens were collected from tomato fields and greenhouses in Ahwaz, Khouzestan province (south west of Iran). Both species are new records for fauna of Iran. The knowledge about these parasitoids is still scanty. The potential of these parasitoids for biological control of T. absoluta in tomato fields and greenhouses should be investigated.

  • Impact of a Shared Sugar Food Source on Biological Control of Tuta Absoluta by the Parasitoid Necremnus Tutae
    Journal of Pest Science (2020) 93:207–218 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10340-019-01167-9 ORIGINAL PAPER Impact of a shared sugar food source on biological control of Tuta absoluta by the parasitoid Necremnus tutae Mateus Ribeiro de Campos1 · Lucie S. Monticelli1 · Philippe Béarez1 · Edwige Amiens‑Desneux1 · Yusha Wang1 · Anne‑Violette Lavoir1 · Lucia Zappalà2 · Antonio Biondi2 · Nicolas Desneux1 Received: 2 November 2018 / Revised: 28 August 2019 / Accepted: 19 October 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Honeydew is a sugar-rich food source produced by sap-feeding insects, notably by major pests such as aphids and whitefies. It is an important alternative food source for the adult stage of various key natural enemies (e.g., parasitoids), but it may be used also as food by agricultural pests. Necremnus tutae is an idiobiont parasitoid, and it is the most abundant larval parasitoid associated with the South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta, in recently invaded European areas. The impact of N. tutae on T. absoluta populations was evaluated under greenhouse conditions with and without the presence of a honeydew producer, the aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae. In addition, laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate the longev- ity of N. tutae and T. absoluta adults when fed with water, honey or honeydew produced by the aphid. In the greenhouse, N. tutae efectively reduced T. absoluta population by the end of the experiment, and this independently of the presence of the aphid; still the presence of M. euphorbiae led to delayed and reduced T. absoluta population peak when controlled by the parasitoid (there was a fourfold increase in parasitoid density in presence of aphid).

Abstract: We evaluated the capacity of selected plants, sown along a processing tomato field margin in central Greece and natural vegetation, to attract beneficial and Hymenoptera pollinating insects and questioned whether they can distract pollinators from crop flowers. Measurements of flower cover and attracted pollinators and beneficial arthropods were recorded from early-May to mid-July, Citation: Kati, V.; Karamaouna, F.; during the cultivation period of the crop. Flower cover was higher in the sown mixtures compared Economou, L.; Mylona, P.V.; Samara, to natural vegetation and was positively correlated with the number of attracted pollinators.

    STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BRACOVIRUS PROTEIN GLC1.8 by SHU ZHANG (Under the Direction of Michael Strand) ABSTRACT Parasitoid wasps are insects that develop as parasites of other arthropods during their immature stages but are free living as adults. Some parasitoid wasps in the superfamily Ichneumonoidea rely on polydnaviruses (PDVs) to suppress the host immune system. Microplitis demolitor bracovirus (MdBV), which symbiotically associates with the braconid wasp Microplitis demolitor, has been studied with its genome sequenced and gene families identified. Among the identified genes, glc1.8 encodes for a glycoprotein which plays an essential role in blocking adhesion and phagocytosis of host hemocytes. In this study, I first identified that in the MdBV genome, there is another member of the glc gene family. I also determined that a cell line stably transfected with glc1.8 contains two forms of this gene: glc1.8 and a larger form of this gene designated glc1.82. The larger gene likely arose by recombination. Characterization of the glycans associated with Glc1.8 identified Man3NAc2 and Man3NAc2F as major constituents while functional studies indicated that glycosylation is essential for immunosuppressive activity. A C-terminal deletion mutant which has no cytoplasmic tail showed reduced activity, suggesting that Glc1.8 may interact with cytoplasmic factors in host cells. Lastly, I found that viral infection reduces transcript abundance of host integrins that are important for cell spreading.

  • Insecta: Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) of Java, Indonesia and Their Distribution
    Berita Biologi 8(4a) - Mei 2007 - Edisi Khusus "Memperingati 300 Tahun Carolus Linnaeus " (23 Mei 1707 - 23 Mei 2007) DIVERSITY OF THE PARASITOID WASPS OF THE EULOPHTD SUBFAMILY EULOPHINAE (INSECTA: HYMENOPTERA, EULOPHIDAE) OF JAVA, INDONESIA AND THEIR DISTRIBUTION Rosichon Ubaidillah Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense, Research Center for Biology Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Jl Ray a Jakarta-Bogor Km 46, Cibinong 1691, Bogor, Indonesia ABSTRACT Diversity of the Parasitoid Wasps of the Eulophid Subfamily Eulophinae (Insecta: Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) of Java, Indonesia and their distribution is presented for the first time. Most of eulophines are ectoparasitoids that attack concealed hosts in protected situations, such as leafminers, woodborers and leaf rollers. The subfamily are frequently involved in biological control programs directed against dipteran and lepidopteran leaf-mining pests, and many eulophine genera have been considered economically important. The taxonomy and distribution of the species in Asia, especially in Java, are however still poorly studied despite the fact that the subfamily is an important group for sustainable agriculture. This study is based on the specimens newly collected from many localities in Java and Bali using sweep netting, Malaise trapping, yellow-pan trapping and rearing from their hosts. All the three tribes (Elasmini, Cirrospilini and Eulophini) of the subfamily Eulophinae are recognized in the islands. A single genus of Elamini, three genera of Cirrospilini and 19 genera of Eulophini are recognized in the islands and they included 14 genera as new records for the islands and 66 undescribed species. A total of 110 species are recognized in Java and Bali; of those about 86% are new records for the islands and about 60% are undescribed species.

    Review 1 The evolutionary relevance of social learning and transmission 2 in non-social arthropods with a focus on oviposition-related 3 behaviors 4 Caroline M. Nieberding 1*, Matteo Marcantonio 1, Raluca Voda 1, Thomas Enriquez 2 and Bertanne Visser 2 5 1 Evolutionary Ecology and Genetics group, Earth and Life Institute, UCLouvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, 6 Belgium; [email protected] 7 2 Evolution and Ecophysiology group, Earth and Life Institute, UCLouvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium; 8 [email protected] 9 * Correspondence: [email protected] 10 Abstract: Research on social learning has centered around vertebrates, but evidence is accumulating 11 that small-brained, non-social arthropods also learn from others. Social learning can lead to social 12 inheritance when socially acquired behaviors are transmitted to subsequent generations. Using 13 oviposition site selection, a critical behavior for most arthropods, as an example, we first highlight 14 the complementarities between social and classical genetic inheritance. We then discuss the 15 relevance of studying social learning and transmission in non-social arthropods and document 16 known cases in the literature, including examples of social learning from con- and hetero-specifics. 17 We further highlight under which conditions social learning can be adaptive or not. We conclude 18 that non-social arthropods and the study of oviposition behavior offer unparalleled opportunities 19 to unravel the importance of social learning and inheritance for animal evolution. 20 21 Keywords: Behavioral plasticity; Communication; Culture; Drosophila; Fitness; 22 Herbivores; Oviposition site selection; Natural selection 23 1. Introduction 24 The emergence and spread of novel behaviors through social learning, or “learning 25 from others”, has been documented in a wide variety of animals, mainly in social 26 vertebrates [1–5].
