Invertebrate and avian predators as drivers of chemical defensive strategies in tenthredinid sawflies

Abstract: BackgroundMany insects are chemically defended against predatory vertebrates and invertebrates. Nevertheless, our understanding of the evolution and diversity of insect defenses remains limited, since most studies have focused on visual signaling of defenses against birds, thereby implicitly underestimating the impact of insectivorous insects. In the larvae of sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae (Hymenoptera), which feed on various plants and show diverse lifestyles, two distinct defensive strategies are fou… Show more

“…Boevé et al (2013) assembled a dataset comprising 100+ tenthredinid taxa, but only a dozen outgroup taxa to explore the evolution of larval chemical defenses. Furthermore, many genera are represented by more than one terminal (Monophadnus by no less than nine), so in total 64 tenthredinid genera are included (Boevé et al 2013 : fig. 3).…”

“…[33]). The fact that previously only four species from two sawfly families were known to contain toxic peptides, was not representative of their actual occurrence in nature but a strong underestimation of the actual number of species containing such peptides.…”

“…Some additional COI sequences representing broad diversity of Tenthredinidae, Cimbicidae, Diprionidae, and Heptamelus , and which were at least 1000 bp long, were downloaded from NCBI nucleotide database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide). The downloaded sequences were published previously by Prous et al 2011, Boevé et al 2013, Wei et al 2015a, Wei et al 2015b, Malm and Nyman 2014, and Song et al 2015. Only the downloaded COI sequence of Eupareophora parca was shorter than others (KF528474; 862 bp), because this was the only Eupareophora sequence publicly available.…”
