| substrate vibrations elicit defensive behaviour in leafminer pupae. | late instar larvae and pupae of the spotted tentiform leafminer phyllonorycter malella (ger.) (lepidoptera: gracillariidae) react with defensive behaviour when attacked by one of their parasitoids, the eulophid wasp sympiesis sericeicornis nees (hymenoptera: eulophidae). vibrations produced during the insertion of the ovipositor into the mine are known to be important cues by which larvae detect the presence of their enemies. the aim of this study was to investigate which frequency components el ... | 1997 | 12770464 |
| matching host reactions to parasitoid wasp vibrations. | the sensory ecology of predator detection by prey has been little studied for any arthropod prey predator system, in contrast to the sensory ecology of prey finding by predators. the aim of this study was to quantify the foraging signals produced by the parasitoid sympiesis sericeicornis (hymenoptera: eulophidae) and the sensory ecology of enemy detection and the avoidance behaviour of the leaf-mining host, phyllonorycter spp. (lepidoptera: gracillariidae). we used synthetic vibrations approxima ... | 2001 | 11747557 |
