Summary The effects of host age on parasitoid reproductive capacity are studied using the pteromalid parasitoidLariophagus distinguendus
F?rster and its bruchid hosts,Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) andC. maculatus (F.). A series of experiments were performed to investigate relationships between age and size of host parasitized and the
developmental period of pre-imaginal progeny, sex ratio, female size, longevity, fecundity and oviposition rate. There was
no effect of host size on preimaginal parasitoid developmental period. Sex ratio varied from less than 5% females from young
(small) hosts to 60% females from mature (large) hosts. Adult size, female longevity, fecundity, and oviposition rate were
also positively related to host age. Females provided mature hosts lived longer than those provided either young hosts or
no hosts, possibly because of an increased ability to host-feed from the larger hosts. The implications of these findings
to parasitoid population reproductive capacity and host-parasitoid synchrony are discussed. 相似文献

1. | a mathematical model is presented which predicts the expected optimal-patch-use strategy for solitary parasitoids with a limited fecundity. |
2. | The model predicts that the quality of the patches is determined by the proportion of unparasitized hosts and not by the density of those hosts, and that throughout the searching period the parasitoids should maintain the level of parasitism equal in all the patches irrespective of the host density per patch. |
3. | The spatial pattern of parasitism among field patches by a parasitoid with a low fecundity,Praestochrysis shanghaiensis, was in agreement with the prediction of the model, i.e., a similar level of parasitism in different patches was observed when the ratio of female parasitoids to hosts in the whole study area exceeded 0.07. When the ratio was less than 0.05, however, the level of parasitism per patch showed an inverse relation to the host density, and was positively correlated with the female parasitoid-host ratio. |
4. | The model assumes that the parasitoids move between patches without cost and have perfect information about patch quality. Consideration of the cost of moving and sampling bridges the gap between the observed and predicted rates of parasitism found when the female parasitoid-host ratio in the whole study area was low |

Population dynamics of a leafminer,Chromatomyia suikazurae (Agromyzidae, Diptera) and its parasitoid community were studied for ten years at seven natural populations along an altitudinal
gradient in Japan. This species which mines leaves of a forest shrub,Lonicera gracilipes (Caprifoliaceae), was attacked by 25 hymenopterous parasitoid species. Annually, the parasitoid community structure varied
less within a population than among populations. The seven parasitoid communities were clustered into three groups corresponding
to the altitudinal gradient: (a) lowland communities dominated by late-attacking, generalist pupal idiobiont eulophids and
with highest species diversity, (b) hillside communities dominated by an early-attacking, specialist larval-pupal koinobiont
braconid and (c) highland communities dominated by an early-attacking, generalist larval idiobiont eulophid. Annual changes
of the host larval densities among the local populations were largely synchronous rather than cyclic. Among these populations,
host density levels and mortality patterns greatly varied. By analyzing these inter-populational differences of host mortality
patterns, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) The host mortality patterns were determined by the host utilization patterns
of the locally dominant species. (2) The host pupal mortality but not larval mortality was related to species diversity but
not to species richness itself of each parasitoid community. (3) Density dependence was detected only in pupal mortality at
a lowland population dominated by late-attacking pupal parasitoids. These results suggest that interspecific interactions
of parasitoids add additive effects to host population dynamics dissimilarly among local populations with different parasitoid
communities. 相似文献

1. | Analysis of life tables of the oriental moth,Monema flavescens, obtained for 8 generations over 4 years, disclosed that the cocoon parasitoid,Praestochrysis shanghaiensis, acted as a density-disruptive factor. |
2. | The density of the host cocoon remained stable (max./min.=3.2), whereas that of the host adult varied (max./min.=14.3) although both showed similar fluctation patterns. |
3. | Stability of the host population was associated with the density-dependence in the ratio of first generation cocoons to overwintered generation moths, which was the key factor for the rate of change throughout the year. Chrysidid parasitism among the first generation cocoons ranged from 37.7 to 70.1%, and that among the second generation cocoons from 16.7 to 63.2%, each showing an inverse density-dependence and acting as the main determinant (key-factor) of the between-year variation in the density of the adult moths. |
4. | The density-dependence of the rate of change from overwintered generation adults to first generation cocoons was so strong that the parasitism on the second generation hosts had not effect on the cocoon density of the first generation. On the other hand, the density-dependence of the rate of change from first generation adults to second generation cocoons was weak, and the parasitism on the first generation hosts became the key factor for the between-year variation of the second generation cocoons. |
5. | It is suggested that the stability of the parasitoid-host system will be disrupted without three parasitism-restricting factors: asynchrony in the parasitoid attack on the second generation hosts, high mortality among parasitoid larvae of the second generation, and the high proportion of those first generation parasitoids that enter diapause. These factors are considered to be effective only in cooler parts of the distribution of the parasitoid. |

Summary Oviposition rates and related behaviours were quantified forLariophagus distinguendus
F?rster attackingCalosobruchus chinensis (L.) andC. maculatus (F.). Oviposition rates varied with parasitoid age; parasitoids aged 1–7 days laid approximately twice as many eggs per day
as those aged 8–14 days. Similar differences were noted in search rates and handling times; younger parasitoids had higher
attack rates and lower handling times than older parasitoids. Search rates and handling times also varied with the host stage
available for attack. Search rates were higher and handling times were lower on larger stages. The results are discussed with
reference to their impact on the dynamical behavior of insect parasitoid-host populations. 相似文献

Charnov's host-size model explains parasitoid host-size-dependent sex ratio as an adaptive consequence when there is a differential
effect of host size on the offspring fitness of parasitoid males versus females. This article tests the predictions and the
assumptions of the host-size model. The parasitoid wasp Pimpla nipponica Uchida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) laid more female eggs in larger or fresher host pupae when choice among hosts of different
sizes or ages was allowed. Then, whether an asymmetrical effect of host size and age on the fitness of females versus males
existed in P. nipponica was examined. Larger or fresher host pupae yielded larger wasps. Larger females lived longer, whereas male size did not influence
male longevity. Large males mated successfully with relatively large females but failed with small females, whereas small
males could mate successfully either with small or with large females. Thus, small-male advantages were found, and this held
true even under male–male competition. Ovariole and egg numbers at any one time did not differ among females of different
sizes. Larger females attained higher oviposition success and spent less time and energy for oviposition in hosts. Larger
females produced more eggs from a single host meal. Taken together, females gained more, and males lost more, by being large.
Host size and age thus asymmetrically affected the fitness of offspring males versus females through the relationships between
host size or hast age and wasp size, which means the basic assumption of the host-size model was satisfied. Therefore, sex
ratio control by P. nipponica in response to host size and age is adaptive.

Successful multiparasitism by five parasitoid wasps of the scale insectNipponaclerda biwakoensis was investigated at a reed bed in Lake Biwa. The wasps were gregarious endoparasitoids consuming the entire body of the host.
The rate of successful multiparasitism for a parasitoid species was defined as the proportion of the number of individual
hosts from which the species emergedwith other species to the total number of hosts from which the species emerged. The rates were high for each parasitoid species,
ranging from 17 to 82%. Successful multiparasitism frequently involved two species with similar adult size, but rarely involved
species with different adult size. For four of the five species, the number of wasps per host was significantly less when
wasps emerged from a host with other species relative to when emerged alone. For the other one species, the number of wasps
was less, but the difference was not significant. With only one species, female wasps were significantly smaller when they
emerged from a host with other species relative to when emerged alone. 相似文献

Summary Until now, mathematical models of parasitoid-host interactions have not incorporated the tendency for destructively host-feeding
parasitoids to partition their feeding and oviposition behaviour in relation to different host stages. A literature survey
reveals a trend for female parasitoids to feed preferentially or exclusively on earlier host stages and to oviposit preferentially
or exclusively in/or later ones.
We explore the relative advantages to host-feeding parasitoids of a number of possible host stage selection strategies. We
develop hypotheses, formalizing and testing them using modifications to our earlier simulation model of host-feeding strategies
(Jervis and Kidd, 1986).
We conclude from our modelling that the advantage to be gained from feeding on early host stages and ovipositing in late ones
is likely to be associated with: 1) reduced handling times when feeding on early stage hosts; 2) reduced wastage of progeny
from mortality factors other than host-feeding by the parent parasitoid, achieved by confining oviposition to late host stages;
and 3) reduced probability of progeny mortality resulting from the parent's host-feeding activities. 相似文献

Summary The functional response parameters of the parasitoid,Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) to the third instar, the fourth instar and the pupae ofCallosobruchus maculatus (F.) were estimated from the Random Parasitoid Equation. By modifying this equation for a two host situation and using the
parameters estimated above, a no switch model could be obtained. This model was then used to test for switching. In the preference
experiments where two stages of the host were presented to the female parasitoid, a definite preference for the fourth instar
followed by the pupa and the third instar, respectively was shown. There was, however, no evidence of switching. There was
also no evidence that the data fitted the no switch models which suggests that when the parasitoid is searching in an environment
with two or more hosts, its searching behaviour is more complex. 相似文献

Population dynamics and variability were examined in one-host–two-parasitoid experimental systems with different resource
distributions: resource-clumped and resource-sparse conditions. The system consists of a seed beetle host, Callosobruchus chinensis, and two parasitoid wasps, Anisopteromalus calandrae (Pteromalidae) and Heterospilus prosopidis (Braconidae). In the resource-clumped condition, suitable hosts for parasitism (the late fourth-instar larvae and pupae)
were clumped in 1 large resource patch, but they were scattered evenly among 16 small patches in the resource-sparse condition.
Population censuses were conducted at 10-day intervals in long-term cultures, renewing 10 g of azuki beans (Vigna angularis). In both resource conditions, the first period was a single-species system of C. chinensis only, and A. calandrae was added in the second period. The one-host–one-parasitoid system with C. chinensis and A. calandrae showed stable population dynamics with small fluctuations. After addition of H. prosopidis in the third period, two of three replicates persisted to day 800 in each resource condition, although one replicate in each
went to extinction at an immediate outbreak of the H. prosopidis population after the introduction. Population variabilities of C. chinensis and H. prosopidis were significantly higher and the mean population size of A. calandrae was significantly smaller in the resource-sparse condition than that in the resource-clumped one. A short-term experiment
on parasitism efficiencies revealed that H. prosopidis parasitized significantly more at a low host density in the resource-sparse condition than in the resource-clumped one. Mutual
interference of H. prosopidis was weak enough at low parasitoid densities but became abruptly stronger with high densities. Providing fresh hosts in a
mixture of already parasitized ones, host-searching behaviors of a parasitoid were recorded by video for 3 h and were compared
between the two wasp species. H. prosopidis could parasitize fresh hosts more efficiently than A. calandrae through frequent long-distance walks (walking to distant beans at one bout or outside a clump of beans with hosts and back
soon on a distant bean of the clump) after reencounters with parasitized hosts. Considering all the experimental results,
populations were judged to be more fragile and more likely to go to extinction in the resource-sparse condition than in the
resource-clumped one. A higher attacking efficiency of H. prosopidis destabilized population dynamics more in the resource-sparse condition.

Summary Effects of niche shift in ecological time scale on the population dynamics of competing species were studied in the experimental
populations of two parasitoid wasp species,Anisopteromalus calandrae andHeterospilus prosopidis (both are solitary parasites), on a host, the azuki bean weevil,Callosobruchus chinensis. Four resource conditions were set up with combination of kind of bean (azuki or black eye), and host distribution (uniform
or clumped). In each resource condition, four developmental stages of hosts were provided as a resource spectrum for parasitoid
wasps.
Population dynamics of the two wasp populations were investigated in each resource condition in Multi-Generation Competitive
Systems (MGCS), in which fresh hosts of four developmental stages were periodically introduced and were parasitized competitively
by the two wasp species. Competitive coexistence of both wasps occurred in the azuki-clumped condition, where the peaks of
the resource utilization curves separated in the two species; pupae inA. calandrae and the early or late fourth instar inH. prosopidis, A. calandrae was eliminated in the azuki-uniform condition andH. prosopidis went extinct in two black eye conditions irrespective of host distributions. The degrees of overlap of the resource utilization
patterns of the two wasp species during population dynamics were not significantly different among resource conditions irrespective
of the results of coexistence or extinction. Even in the azuki-clumped condition, however, extinction ofA. calandrae was observed when resource partitioning could not be realized with only the late fourth instar larvae available to wasps.
Further analytical experiments showed that parasitizing ability ofA. calandrae increased with host density per bean with azuki beans, butA. calandrae could express higher parasitizing ability with black eye beans thanH. prosopidis irrespective of host density per bean.
The flexibility in parasitizing ability byA. calandrae for various host stages under different resource conditions was thought to be the major factor in determining the competitive
coexistence or the extinction of either species under different resource conditions. The present experiments also suggested
that different second-best host stages between competitors could be a major contributing factor to competitive coexistence. 相似文献

Summary We studied the rules used by the female parasitoid,Dacnusa sibirica Telenga (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), for deciding when to leave a tomato leaflet on which she is searching for larvae of the
leafminer,Liriomyza bryoniae Kalt. (Diptera: Agromyzidae). Females would deposit a marking pheromone on the leaflet and would leave the leaflet when the
amount of the pheromone accumulated to the thresholdL, which is proportional to the amount of search effort on the leaflet.L appears to increase with host density since it rises after every encounter with a host (or mine).D. sibirica would employ an area-concentrated search, which is advantageous in foraging for hosts showing a clumped distribution. 相似文献

Parasitoid sex ratios are influenced by mating systems, whether complete inbreeding, partial inbreeding, complete inbreeding
avoidance, or production of all-male broods by unmated females. Population genetic theory demonstrates that inbreeding is
possible in haplodiploids because the purging of deleterious and lethal mutations through haploid males reduces inbreeding
depression. However, this purging does not act quickly for deleterious mutations or female-limited traits (e.g., fecundity,
host searching, sex ratio). The relationship between sex ratio, inbreeding, and inbreeding depression has not been explored
in depth in parasitoids. The gregarious egg parasitoid, Trichogramma pretiosum Riley, collected from Riverside, CA (USA) produced a female-biased sex ratio of 0.24 (proportion of males). Six generations
of sibling mating in the laboratory uncovered considerable inbreeding depression (∼ 20%) in fecundity and sex ratio. A population
genetic study (based upon allozymes) showed the population was inbred (F
it = 0.246), which corresponds to 56.6% sib-mating. However, average relatedness among females emerging from the same host egg
was only 0.646, which is less than expected (0.75) if ovipositing females mate randomly. This lower relatedness could arise
from inbreeding avoidance, multiple mating by females, or superparasitism. A review of the literature in general shows relatively
low inbreeding depression in haplodiploid species, but indicates that inbreeding depression can be as high as that found in
Drosophila. Finally, mating systems and inbreeding depression are thought to evolve in concert (in plants), but similar dynamic models
of the joint evolution of sex ratio, mating systems, and inbreeding depression have not been developed for parasitoid wasps.

Host-feeding and oviposition by parasitoids in relation to host stage: Consequences for parasitoid-host population dynamics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary Among parasitoids which host-feed destructively, there is a tendency for females to partition their feeding and oviposition
behaviour in relation to different host stages, feeding preferentially or exclusively on earlier host stages and ovipositing
preferentially or exclusively in (or on) later ones. We explored the dynamic implications of this behaviour for parasitoid-host
population dynamics, using modifications of the age-structured simulation models of Kidd and Jervis (1989, 1991).
Using the new versions of the models, we compared the situation where parasitoids practice host stage discrimination with
respect to feeding and oviposition, with the situation where they do not. Additionally, we examined the effects of host stage
discrimination on populations by (a) having generations either discrete or overlapping, (b) varying initial age structure,
(c) having varying degrees of density dependence acting on host adult mortality, and (d) varying parasitoid develoment times
in relation to the length of host development.
With either discrete or overlapping generations of the host population, a reduction in the parasitoid development time had
a destabilizing influence on the parasitoid-host population interaction. With discrete generations stage discrimination had
no effect on the risk of extinction, irrespective of either the degree of density dependence acting on the host population,
or the initial age structure of the host population. When parasitoid search was uncoupled from the insect's adult energy requirements,
the interaction was always unstable. With continuous generations, stage discrimination affected stability at certain parasitoid
development times, but not at others. The relative lengths of parasitoid and host development times also influenced the tendency
of the host population to show discrete or overlapping generations. 相似文献

The effects of spatial structure in terms of local capacity, or the maximum number of larvae surviving competition at resource
patches, and temporal structure in terms of the period vulnerable to parasitoid attack in host populations on the persistence
of host-parasitoid systems were quantitatively evaluated by laboratory experiments and well-parameterized model analyses.
One of two bruchid beetles,Callosobruchus maculatus andC. phaseoli, were used as a host with Heterospilus prosopidis used as the parasitoid.C. maculatus, in which few larvae survive competition to become adults in each bean, andC. phaseoli, in which many larvae become adults in each bean, along with two kinds of beans, the mung and the azuki, were combined to
construct four (2×2) resource-herbivorous host-parasitoid systems that differed in local capacity and vulnerable period. The
mung-C. maculatus system with the parasitoid was the most persistent, i.e., took the longest time for extinction of either the host or parasitoid
to occur. Since this resource-herbivorous host combination exhibited the lowest local capacity and the shortest vulnerable
period, these two conditions possibly promoted the persistence of the system. A model incorporating the host population structure
supported the observed persistence. Furthermore, the possible contribution of the timing of density-dependent competition
of the host on the host-parasitoid persistence is predicted. 相似文献

Summary The present paper studies how the female parasite ofKratochviliana sp. visits and attacks its host larvae of Ranunculus leaf mining fly,P. ranunculi at a single leaf visit. The parasite visited its hosts at random on the leaf. The frequency of host visits was independent
of the host density and the proportion of hosts survived from the parasite attack, in a leaf and its distribution was expressed
as a single straight line. It almost always attacked living hosts at the first host visit after isolated from them for one
day but with the rate of about 0.5 at the subsequent visits. In consequence, the relationships of the number of host attacks
and killed hosts to the host density drew satulated curves in each. A model of host attack by this parasite at its single
leaf visit was formulated by modifyingBakker
et al.'s model (1972) basing upon these observations and the attack avoidance by the parasite to already attacked hosts previously
reported.

Intra- and interspecific larval interactions that take place in a host body were investigated for two tachnid fliesEpicampocera succincta andCompsilura concinnata (Diptera: Tachinidae) parasitizingPieris butterfly larvae.E. succincta, a specialist onPieris butterflies, showed contest-type intraspecific competition, eliminating all the other conspecific larvae. On the other hand,
an extreme generalist parasitoidC. concinnata exhibited scramble-type competition, sharing the host with other conspecifics and suffering reduced body size as a result.
However, when these two species occurred together in a single host,C. concinnata had a much higher chance of survival. Moreover,C. concinnata could often survive in the presence of a parasitoid waspCotesia glomerata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) whileE. succincta could not. The high tolerance ofC. concinnata could be attributable to its being an extreme generalist: To attack and survive on many different hosts, one has to be able
to deal with various competitors. The competitive inferiority of the specialistE. succincta, on the other hand, may be a result of relatively recent encounter with, those competitors. 相似文献

Summary Survival rates and mortality factors of a migrant skipperParnara guttata were censused in paddy fields in 4 localities of central and western Japan during 1975–1980, and 10 life tables were developed
for 3 generations. Mortality rates of eggs, older larvae and pupae were high but those of younger larvae were very low. The
high mortality rate was caused by parasitoids. Ten primary and 6 secondary parasitoids were recorded. Out of three egg parasitoids,Telenomus sp. was predominant. Larval parasitoids,Apanteles baoris andPediobus mitsukurii which are specific to genusParnara were predominant in wet land habitat, i.e. paddy land. On the other hand, tachinid flies which have a wide host range and
a high searching ability were predominant in dry land habitats. Mortalities of eggs and pupae contribute more to the change
in the total mortality of immature stages than those of other stages. egg parasitoids which are the major mortality factor
of eggs acted density-dependently but larval and pupal parasitoids did not do so. The total mortality of immature stages occurred
more or less density-dependently. Larval density on rice plants scarecely affected the survival rate of larvae. 相似文献

In an insect host (the cowpea weevilCallosobruchus maculatus)- parasitoidHeterospilus prosopidis) experimental system, the population densities of the component species oscillated for the first 20 generations and then
abruptly stabilized as the parasitoid density decreased. Examination of the host and parasitoid after the 40th generation
in the long-term experiment showed that (1) host larvae exhibited contest-type competition (killing other larvae inhabiting
the same bean), in contrast to the founder population being scramble-type competitors and (2) the parasitoid attack rate on
the host did not change. There was also an evolutionary trade-off between body size and the rates of larval survival and development,
suggesting a cost of contest competition on larval survivorship and development. I tested model predictions (Tuda and Iwasa
1998) that (1) host equilibrium population size should gradually decrease as the proportion of the contest type increases
and that (2) random attacks of the parasitoid on the host should reduce the rate of increase in proportion of the contest
type, and the effect should become manifest especially during the first 20 generations. Two of three host-only replicates
showed significant decrease in population sizes. Although the density of emerging adults per bean did not differ between replicates
of the host-only and host-parasitoid systems, comparison of the host body size between them on day 270 (at the 13th generation)
showed that the host was more contest-type in the host-only system than in the host-parasitoid system, as the model predicted,
and later on day 650 the effect of the parasitoid had disappeared. 相似文献

Indirect interactions between populations of different species can be important in structuring natural communities. Indirect
effects are either mediated by changes in population densities (trophic or density-mediated effects) or by changes in the
behavior of species that are not trophically connected (behavioral or trait-mediated effects). We reviewed the literature
on aphids and their parasitoids to explore the various possible indirect interactions that can occur in such communities.
The review was motivated by our study of a particular aphid–parasitoid community in a natural (i.e., nonagricultural) habitat,
and by the wealth of information that exists about aphid–parasitoid systems in agricultural settings. We focused our review
on aphid–parasitoid interactions, but considered how these were influenced by the other aphid natural enemies and also by
aphid mutualists and host plants. We conclude that indirect effects are likely to have a major effect in structuring aphid–parasitoid
communities, and that the latter are a valuable model system for testing ideas about community interactions.
