“…They can differentiate between herbivore-infested and uninfested plants (e.g. 27, 38, 135,141,161,173), and in several cases the attractive chemicals are shown to be released by the plant (31,32,135,163). Some of the chemicals disseminated from the infested plants merely result from mechanical disruption of plant cells and thus are nonspecific for the herbivore.…”

KEY WORDS:predators, parasitoids, searching behavior, learning, evolutionary theory, integrated pest management PERSPECTIVES AND OVERVIEW Parasitoids and predators of herbivores have evolved and function within a multitrophic context. Consequently, their physiology and behavior are influenced by elements from other trophic levels such as their herbivore victim (second trophic level) and its plant food (first trophic level) (126). Natural enemies base their foraging decisions on information from these different trophic levels, and chemical information plays an important role. This review is restricted to the ecology of chemical information from the first and second trophic levels. The importance of so-called infochemicals, a subcategory of semiochemicals, in foraging by parasitoids and predators has been well documented (e.g. reviewed in 31,78,111,183,185), and we do not intend repeat the details. But because of a lack of testable hypotheses, all this research is conducted rather haphazardly: the total puzzle of infochemical use has not been solved for any natural enemy species. Here we approach the use of infochemicals by natural enemies from an evolutionary and ecological standpoint. Our basic concept is that information from the first and second trophic levels differs in availability and in reliability, a difference that shapes the way infochemicals are used by a species. We generate hypotheses on (a) 141

“…Host-induced volatiles are often systemically emitted so even undamaged leaves of injured plants release these volatiles (Turlings and Tumlinson, 1992;Röse et al, 1996;Guerrieri et al, 1999;Röse and Tumlinson, 2005). Many studies have reported that herbivore-infested plants that emit HIPVs attract a number of hymenopteran parasitoids (e.g., Turlings et al, 1990;Vet and Dicke, 1992;Takabayashi et al, 1995;Fukushima et al, 2002;Shiojiri et al, 2006) and several dipteran parasitoids (Roth et al, 1982;Roland et al, 1989;Mondor and Roland, 1997;Kainoh et al, 1999;Stireman, 2002;Ichiki et al, 2008). However, it remains largely unknown how long the attraction of parasitoids to infested plants continues after infestation by herbivores and which parts of the plants actively attract the parasitoids.…”

Odors from corn plants infested with the larvae of the noctuid herbivore Mythimna separata attract tachinid fly, Exorista japonica, females. We investigated the effects of elapsed time on the attraction of E. japonica to plants after host larvae were removed. The behavior of the flies within 5 min from introduction was observed in a wind tunnel. The percentage of flies attracted to the plants remained high (70%) for 5 h and decreased gradually after 24 h. The percentage of flies attracted to continuously damaged plants remained high for 5 days. In contrast, the percentage of flies reaching artificially damaged corn plants was high (85%) when tested soon after damage but decreased to 40% 1 h after damage. We also examined whether undamaged leaves from a damaged plant attracted tachinid flies. Undamaged leaves were not attractive when all other leaves on the same plant were damaged, even if damaged for several hours. In addition, the undamaged part of damaged leaves was not attractive. These results indicate that volatiles that attract E. japonica are only released from the damaged parts of leaves and these volatiles gradually decrease as the damaged plant ages.

“…Also, E. japonica Townsend pursued crawling larvae on foot using visual cues for guidance (Yamawaki et al, 2002). In some tachinid flies, attraction to odor from healthy and damaged plants has been demonstrated (Nettles, 1980;Roth et al, 1982;Roland, 1986;Roland et al, 1989Roland et al, , 1995Mondor and Roland, 1997;Kainoh et al, 1999;Stireman, 2002). Kairomones in the host frass have been shown to induce oviposition and larviposition by tachinid flies (Hsiao et al, 1966;Roth et al, 1978;Nettles, 1982;Thompson et al, 1983;Clement et al, 1986).…”

The oviposition behavior of the gregarious tachinid fly, Bessa parallela (Meigen), on Pryeria sinica Moore larvae was studied in a wooded area in Fukuoka, Japan, to increase our knowledge of tachinid behavior in the field. Most B. parallela females were observed to approach or oviposit on P. sinica larvae on the ground, while in contrast only one female was found on a tree and did not oviposit. When hosts on the ground and trees were collected and examined, the number of hosts bearing tachinid eggs was significantly larger for hosts collected on the ground than on trees. When the parasitized hosts collected in the field were reared in the laboratory, the survival rates of B. parallela were not significantly different between hosts collected on the ground and those on trees. In the field, B. parallela females deposited more eggs on the head and thorax of P. sinica larvae than on other body parts.
