Exposure of Noctuid and Geometrid Development Stages in Oak Forests
Glavendekić & Mihajlović: Exposure of noctuid and geometrid development stages in oak forests EXPOSURE OF NOCTUID AND GEOMETRID DEVELOPMENT STAGES IN OAK FORESTS Milka M. Glavendekić, Ljubodrag S. Mihajlović Faculty of Forestry University of Belgrade, Kneza Višeslava 1, 11030 Belgrade, Serbia (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract The research was carried out in the period 1985-2005 in oak forests in Serbia. During the research of winter moths in oak forests of Serbia we recorded 9 outbreaking winter moth species: Colotois pennaria L., Agriopis aurantiaria Hbn., Erannis defoliaria Cl., Alsophila aescularia D.& Sch., A. aceraria D.& Sch., Operophtera brumata L., Apocheima pilosaria D.& Sch., Agriopis leucophaearia D.& Sch., A. marginaria F. The most significant noctuids are Orthosia spp. There are 38 parasitoids of the winter moths recorded and they fall into the families Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Eulophidae, Torymidae, Trichogrammatidae, Scelionidae and Tachinidae. Egg parasitoids were recorded at 3 localities: Brankovac, Mala Moštanica and wide area of National Park Djerdap. Hyperparasitoids of winter moths in Serbia have also been studied. We recorded altogether 12 species of winter moth hyperparasitoids. The method of exposure was applied in egg and larva stages. While total parasitism in the natural population varies between 12.50-28.57 %, in the exposed conditions there were between 27.31-43.75 % parasitized caterpillars were recorded. The method of host exposure could be suitable for the local increase of abundance of parasitoids of winter moth eggs, larvae and pupae. Keywords: Defoliators, oak, Geometridae, Noctuidae 1. Introduction In Serbia forests cover about 2,313,000 ha, or 26.2 % of the whole territory. -

Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) As Biological Control Agents of Pests
Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) As Biological Control Agents Of Pests A Bibliography Hassan Ghahari Department of Entomology, Islamic Azad University, Science & Research Campus, P. O. Box 14515/775, Tehran – Iran; [email protected] Preface The Ichneumonidae is one of the most species rich families of all organisms with an estimated 60000 species in the world (Townes, 1969). Even so, many authorities regard this figure as an underestimate! (Gauld, 1991). An estimated 12100 species of Ichneumonidae occur in the Afrotropical region (Africa south of the Sahara and including Madagascar) (Townes & Townes, 1973), of which only 1927 have been described (Yu, 1998). This means that roughly 16% of the afrotropical ichneumonids are known to science! These species comprise 338 genera. The family Ichneumonidae is currently split into 37 subfamilies (including, Acaenitinae; Adelognathinae; Agriotypinae; Alomyinae; Anomaloninae; Banchinae; Brachycyrtinae; Campopleginae; Collyrinae; Cremastinae; Cryptinae; Ctenopelmatinae; 1 Diplazontinae; Eucerotinae; Ichneumoninae; Labeninae; Lycorininae; Mesochorinae; Metopiinae; Microleptinae; Neorhacodinae; Ophioninae; Orthopelmatinae; Orthocentrinae; Oxytorinae; Paxylomatinae; Phrudinae; Phygadeuontinae; Pimplinae; Rhyssinae; Stilbopinae; Tersilochinae; Tryphoninae; Xoridinae) (Yu, 1998). The Ichneumonidae, along with other groups of parasitic Hymenoptera, are supposedly no more species rich in the tropics than in the Northern Hemisphere temperate regions (Owen & Owen, 1974; Janzen, 1981; Janzen & Pond, 1975), although -

Life History Evolution in the Parasitoid Hymenoptera Ruth Elizabeth Traynor
Life history evolution in the parasitoid Hymenoptera Ruth Elizabeth Traynor This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Department of Biology 2004 Abstract This thesis addresses life history evolution of the parasitoid Hymenoptera. It aims to identify assumptions that should be incorporated into parasitoid life history theory and the predictions that theory should aim to make. Both two species and multi-species comparative studies as well as up-to-date phylogenetic information are employed to investigate these issues. Anecdotal observations suggest that solitary parasitoids have narrower host ranges than closely related gregarious species. There are several possible reasons for this; for example gregarious species may be able to exploit larger bodied hosts because they can fully consume the host, which may be essential for successful pupation to occur. Comparative laboratory experiments between two closely related species of Aphaereta, one of which is solitary and the other gregarious, show no difference in the extent of host range. This study does, however, suggest that differences in the realized niche that each species occupies in the field may result from life history differences between the species. These differences may themselves have arisen due to solitary or gregarious development. The first multi-species study in the thesis uses a data set, compiled for the parasitic Hymenoptera by Blackburn (1990), to address factors that may influence body size and clutch size. This study builds on previous analyses of the data (see Blackburn 1990, 1991a/b, Mayhew & Blackburn 1999) through the use of up-to-date phylogenetic information. Evidence is found that the host stage attacked by a parasitoid is associated with both body and clutch size, due to the amount of resources available for the developing parasitoids.
