Defensive Symbionts and the Evolution of Parasitoid Host Specialization

Christoph Vorburger

Summary: Insect host-parasitoid interactions are common in nature and characterized by host specialization. Many host species rely on heritable bacterial endosymbionts for defense against parasitoids. These symbionts provide strong and specific resistance, potentially due to variation in symbiont-produced toxins. Defensive symbionts are thus important for diversifying selection and may alter host-parasitoid food web structures. Additionally, other defensive mutualisms may also exert diversifying selection on insect parasitoids.

Extrinsic Inter- and Intraspecific Competition in Parasitoid Wasps

Paul J. Ode et al.

Summary: The diverse ecology of parasitoids is influenced by extrinsic competition among adult females and males for hosts and mates. Adult females use various mechanisms to compete, while adult males primarily compete within the same species. Extrinsic competition plays a role in competitive displacement and apparent competition, and anthropogenic changes can have significant effects on host-parasitoid communities.
