Aphid parasitoids have been recorded in many countries around the globe, however records Colombia are few. Here, five primary species, Aphidius platensis Brèthes, 1913, funebris Mackauer, 1961, matricariae Haliday, 1834, Aphelinus varipes (Förster, 1841), paramali Zehavi & Rosen, 1989, and two hyperparasitoids Syrphophagus aphidivorus (Mayr, 1876) Pachyneuron aphidis (Bouché, 1834) newly Colombia. Two other parasitoids, Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson,...
Abstract Behavior and fitness are important ecological traits frequently measured in insect bioassays. A common method to measure them soft‐bodied herbivorous insects involves confining individuals plant leaves using clip cages. Although studies have previously highlighted the negative effects of cages on leaf physiology, little is known about impact that this confinement has fitness. The responses different aphid genotypes/clones containment methods not been investigated. Here we key...
Abstract Despite the importance of parasitoid wasps as biological control agents and vast literature available on different aspects their natural history ecology, it is only recently that an interest in integrating genetics into aphid‐parasitoid studies has emerged. Some have been completed effect genetic variation aphid parasitism outcomes, especially after description physiological resistance to parasitoids its role co‐evolution. The interaction between aphids goes beyond conflict egg...
