Aggressive interactions between males are common when victors gain increased mating success but can result in severe injury or death for the defeated. Anastatus japonicus (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) is a solitary egg parasitoid of hemipteran and lepidopteran species. Here, we investigated lethal A. analyzed aggression behavior scaled with male condition, number competitors, presented females, female status. The intensity aggressiveness competitors females was not affected by relatedness....
Abstract Chemical control is currently the main strategy for managing brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål). However, chemical pesticides can harm nontarget species, including natural enemies of H. halys. Pesticides with high toxicity to and low its parasitoids need be identified support management. This not only biological but also preemptive classical by parasitoids. Here, we assessed contact residues eight insecticides against three parasitoid species (Anastatus japonicus...
Introduction: The genus Trissolcus includes a number of egg parasitoids that are known to contribute the control Halyomorpha halys . progenies, particularly females, is important for efficient mass rearing species used in augmentative biological programs. Cold storage an technique extending shelf life natural enemies such Methods: We assessed how fecundity, sex ratio, lifespan, and hosts parasitized within 24 h were affected by host density T. japonicus cultratus when offered fresh H. eggs...
