Consequences of mixed species infestation on the searching behavior and parasitism success of a larval parasitoid

Abstract: When two herbivore pest species are potential hosts of a single parasitoid species, two questions arise. Firstly, which host is preferable for mass rearing in terms of later parasitoid performance, and secondly, how do parasitoids perform in mixed herbivore situations after colony establishment? We tested Hyssopus pallidus, a gregarious parasitoid of two major pests of apple, Cydia (Grapholita) molesta and Cydia pomonella, before and after landing on apples infested by one of the two Cydia species. Pre-alighti… Show more

“…The present study concentrated upon ground‐active predators because their potential as biocontrol agents has been recognized in a broad range of agroecosystems (Symondson et al , 2002). To date, most studies of the regulation of the codling moth by natural enemies have focused on parasitoids (Mills, 2005; Hackermann et al , 2008; Jumean et al , 2009), nematodes (Navaneethan et al , 2010), birds (Solomon & Glen, 1979; Mols & Visser, 2002, 2007; Mols et al , 2005), carabid beetles (Hagley & Allen, 1988; Riddick & Mills, 1994; Epstein et al , 2001), earwigs and predatory bugs (Glen, 1977). To our knowledge, the only comparable work on regulation of the oriental fruit moth has focused on parasitoids (Hackermann et al , 2008; Poltronieri et al , 2008) and nematodes (Riga et al , 2006).…”
