ABSTRACT When searching for hosts, parasitoids may experience competition between adults exploiting the same host (extrinsic), or between larvae developing inside the host (intrinsic competition). Differences in competitive abilities like host location and resource utilisation promote coexistence. In this sense, extrinsically superior parasitoids better locate hosts, and intrinsically superior ones can have a shorter preimaginal development, which gives them a competitive advantage in physiological suppression against its competitor. Piezodorus guildinii (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an important soybean pest, and its main natural enemies are egg parasitoids Telenomus podisi and Trissolcus urichi (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae). We compared the ability of wasps to locate host eggs, and larval development time of both parasitoids. Both species took the same amount of time to find and contact eggs, and to start parasitising them. There were no differences in average development time of larvae, pupae, and the entire preimaginal period. Both parasitoid species compared in this study are closely related, having very similar life history strategies. These factors could have covered up other aspects of the host foraging abilities of each species, which can make differences between them when searching for hosts in the field. Moreover, searching abilities of both species could be similar under laboratory conditions but different under field conditions. Understanding competitive interactions between parasitoids is important to improve the biological control of the pest.

两种卵寄生蜂的成虫前发育时间及其宿主搜索效率

摘要 在寻找宿主时,寄生蜂可能会遇到利用同一宿主的成虫之间的竞争(外源性),或在宿主体内发育的幼虫之间的竞争(内源性竞争)。主机位置和资源利用等竞争能力的差异促进了共存。从这个意义上说,外在优势的寄生蜂更好地定位宿主,而内在优势的寄生蜂可以具有更短的前成虫发育,这使它们在生理抑制方面具有竞争优势。Piezodorus guildinii(半翅目:Pentatomidae)是一种重要的大豆害虫,其主要天敌是卵寄生蜂Tenomus podisi和Trissolcus urichi(膜翅目:Platygastridae)。我们比较了黄蜂定位寄主卵的能力和两种寄生蜂的幼虫发育时间。这两个物种花费相同的时间来寻找和接触卵,并开始寄生它们。幼虫、蛹和整个前成虫期的平均发育时间没有差异。本研究中比较的两种寄生蜂物种密切相关,具有非常相似的生活史策略。这些因素可能掩盖了每个物种宿主觅食能力的其他方面,这可能会在野外寻找宿主时造成它们之间的差异。此外,两个物种的搜索能力在实验室条件下可能相似,但在野外条件下可能不同。了解寄生蜂之间的竞争性相互作用对于改善害虫的生物防治非常重要。幼虫、蛹和整个前成虫期的平均发育时间没有差异。本研究中比较的两种寄生蜂物种密切相关,具有非常相似的生活史策略。这些因素可能掩盖了每个物种宿主觅食能力的其他方面,这可能会在野外寻找宿主时造成它们之间的差异。此外,两个物种的搜索能力在实验室条件下可能相似,但在野外条件下可能不同。了解寄生蜂之间的竞争性相互作用对于改善害虫的生物防治非常重要。幼虫、蛹和整个前成虫期的平均发育时间没有差异。本研究中比较的两种寄生蜂物种密切相关,具有非常相似的生活史策略。这些因素可能掩盖了每个物种宿主觅食能力的其他方面,这可能会在野外寻找宿主时造成它们之间的差异。此外,两个物种的搜索能力在实验室条件下可能相似,但在野外条件下可能不同。了解寄生蜂之间的竞争性相互作用对于改善害虫的生物防治非常重要。这些因素可能掩盖了每个物种宿主觅食能力的其他方面,这可能会在野外寻找宿主时造成它们之间的差异。此外,两个物种的搜索能力在实验室条件下可能相似,但在野外条件下可能不同。了解寄生蜂之间的竞争性相互作用对于改善害虫的生物防治非常重要。这些因素可能掩盖了每个物种宿主觅食能力的其他方面,这可能会在野外寻找宿主时造成它们之间的差异。此外,两个物种的搜索能力在实验室条件下可能相似,但在野外条件下可能不同。了解寄生蜂之间的竞争性相互作用对于改善害虫的生物防治非常重要。
