Nest boxes are sheltered bundles of hollow plant stems, bamboo or reeds, and holes drilled into wood or cavities made of other materials such as glass or polystyrene. -

COOK SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS CITY OF WASHINGTON 1968 PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM The scientific publications of the United States National Museum include two series. Proceedings of the United States National Museum and United States National Museum Bulletin. In these series are published original articles and monographs dealing with the collections and work of the Museum and setting forth newly acquired facts in the field of anthropology, biology, geology, history, and technology. Copies of each publication are distributed to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the various subjects. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, are intended for the publication, in separate form, of shorter papers. These are gathered in volumes, octavo in size, with the publication date of each paper recorded in the table of contents of the volume. In the Bulletin series, the first of which was issued in 1875, appear longer, separate publications consisting of monographs (occasionally in several parts) and volumes in which are collected works on related subjects. Bulletins are either octavo or quarto in size, depending on the needs of the presentation. Since 1902, papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum have been published in the Bulletin series under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herbarium.

La primera población, provenía de Xalapa, México, y fue originalmente colectada y criada sobre pupas de la Mosca Mexicana de la Fruta, Anastrepha ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae). La segunda población, originaria de Athens, Georgia, fue colectada y criada sobre prepupas de avispas de barro, Trypoxylon politum Say (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae). Estudios de PCR de la región ITS2 confi rmaron que ambas poblaciones del parasitoide pertenecen a la misma especie; lo que nos provee de un perfi l molecular taxonómico muy útil debído a que las hembras de las diversas especies de Melittobia son superfi cialmente similares. La amplifi cación del gen de superfi cie de proteina (wsp) de Wolbachia confi rmó la presencia de este endosimbionte en ambas poblaciones. -

Received: 7 August 2012; in revised form: 28 August 2012 / Accepted: 17 October 2012 / Published: 25 October 2012 Abstract: The use of irradiated hosts in mass rearing tephritid parasitoids represents an important technical advance in fruit fly augmentative biological control. Irradiation assures that fly emergence is avoided in non-parasitized hosts, while at the same time it has no appreciable effect on parasitoid quality, i.e., fecundity, longevity and flight capability. Parasitoids of fruit fly eggs, larvae and pupae have all been shown to successfully develop in irradiated hosts, allowing a broad range of species to be shipped and released without post-rearing delays waiting for fly emergence and costly procedures to separate flies and wasps. -

Box 374, 81000 Podgorica, Montenegro E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We reviewed the distribution of the two Asian species of the genus Sceliphron Klug, introduced into Europe in the late 1970s to early 1980s: S. (Hensenia) curvatum (Smith) and S. (Hensenia) deforme (Smith). Both species are routinely considered as invasive in Europe, but the status and effects of their (eventual) invasiveness are yet to be documented and evaluated. We had a focus on two areas, the Balkan Peninsula and European Russia, based principally on the study of specimens collected over the last 15 years, but we also reviewed the extensive published evidence (including some very important internet-based records), and for S. curvatum we provided a concise overview of the entire European range. -

HOST LOCATION BY MELITTOBIA DIGITATA DAHMS (HYMENOPTERA: EULOPHIDAE), A LARVAL PARASITOID OF MUD DAUBERS, TRYPOXYLON POLITUM SAY (HYMENOPTERA: SPHECIDAE) by CHRISTIAN SHERLEY ARAÚJO DA SILVA TORRES (Under the Direction of Robert W. Matthews) ABSTRACT Signals helping parasitoids to find hosts often originate from the host and/or its habitats, providing cues for locating hosts that are often cryptic or highly dispersed. Melittobia are gregarious ectoparasitoids, which primarily attack Trypoxylon politum prepupae. How Melittobia locates its host is poorly known, but may involve host-related chemicals. This study investigated the roles of chemical cues and natal rearing effect in host location and recognition by M. digitata. In a small arena, which contained T. politum, Megachile rotundata, Neobelleiria bullata, empty cocoons, or nest mud, all isolated from the parasitoid, M. digitata spent significantly more time on host than on control patches. In olfactometer trials, M. digitata spent significantly more time in fields that contained hosts than on blank controls. Host cocoons elicited a positive response, but cues from nest mud and natal host fidelity were not supported. Results suggest that host- related chemicals act as arrestments for M. digitata females.

Aspectos da biologia dos parasitóides tais como: número de descendentes produzidos, longevidade, e tamanho do corpo dos descendentes, podem ser afetados em função do número de parasitoides por pupário. Em geral, a porcentagem de pupários parasitados foi maior para M. digitata do que para M. australica. Independentemente da densidade de parasitóides por pupário, o número total de descendentes produzidos foi significativamente maior para M. digitata (66,5 a 158,0) que para M. australica (10,9 a 55,5). Para ambas espécies, o número de descendentes produzidos por fêmea dos parasitóides foi inversamente proporcional à densidade dos parasitóides. O aumento da densidade dos parasitóides prolongou o tempo de desenvolvimento M. australica, e ocasionou redução em M. digitata. A longevidade dos adultos emergidos de M. australica e M. digitata foi maior quando oriundos das densidades até três parasitóides por pupário, e o tamanho do corpo dos decendentes, mostrou significante redução quando aumentou a densidade de fêmeas dos parasitóides por pupário. Entretanto, a razão sexual dos descendentes não foi afetada, variando de 0,95 a 0,98 para M. -

The Role of Mating Systems in Sexual Selection in Parasitoid Wasps
Biol. Rev. (2014), pp. 000–000. 1 doi: 10.1111/brv.12126 Beyond sex allocation: the role of mating systems in sexual selection in parasitoid wasps Rebecca A. Boulton∗, Laura A. Collins and David M. Shuker Centre for Biological Diversity, School of Biology, University of St Andrews, Dyers Brae, Greenside place, Fife KY16 9TH, U.K. ABSTRACT Despite the diverse array of mating systems and life histories which characterise the parasitic Hymenoptera, sexual selection and sexual conflict in this taxon have been somewhat overlooked. For instance, parasitoid mating systems have typically been studied in terms of how mating structure affects sex allocation. In the past decade, however, some studies have sought to address sexual selection in the parasitoid wasps more explicitly and found that, despite the lack of obvious secondary sexual traits, sexual selection has the potential to shape a range of aspects of parasitoid reproductive behaviour and ecology. Moreover, various characteristics fundamental to the parasitoid way of life may provide innovative new ways to investigate different processes of sexual selection. The overall aim of this review therefore is to re-examine parasitoid biology with sexual selection in mind, for both parasitoid biologists and also researchers interested in sexual selection and the evolution of mating systems more generally. We will consider aspects of particular relevance that have already been well studied including local mating structure, sex allocation and sperm depletion. We go on to review what we already know about sexual selection in the parasitoid wasps and highlight areas which may prove fruitful for further investigation. In particular, sperm depletion and the costs of inbreeding under chromosomal sex determination provide novel opportunities for testing the role of direct and indirect benefits for the evolution of mate choice.
