The Ecology of Hyperparasitoids

Erik H. Poelman et al.

Summary: Hyperparasitoids are diverse members of insect food webs that parasitize the larvae of other parasitoids. They can affect herbivore population dynamics and pose a major challenge in biological control. Recent research has shown that hyperparasitoids challenge nutrient use efficiency, impact herbivore outbreaks, and use cues from complex interaction networks to locate their hosts.

Antenna-Biased Odorant Receptor HvarOR25 in Hippodamia variegata Tuned to Allelochemicals from Hosts and Habitat Involved in Perceiving Preys

Jiaoxin Xie et al.

Summary: The study identified 37 odorant receptors (ORs) in the antennae of ladybird Hippodamia variegata, with HvarOR25 being specifically enriched. HvarOR25 was found to have a narrow tuning to six chemical ligands, and it showed attractive responses to four of these ligands in H. variegata. Molecular docking results indicated a high binding affinity between HvarOR25 and all ligands.

Skin microbiome alters attractiveness to Anopheles mosquitoes

Alicia Showering et al.

Summary: This study found that the variation in attractiveness of individuals to mosquitoes is related to the composition of the skin microbiota, particularly specific bacterial groups and metabolic pathways. These findings could improve odour-baited traps and other vector control tools.

Evolution of koinobiont parasitoid host regulation and consequences for indirect plant defence

Maximilien A. C. Cuny et al.

Summary: Recent studies have revealed that koinobiont parasitoids can indirectly alter plant responses against herbivory by manipulating the development and feeding behavior of their herbivorous hosts. The mechanisms and ecological factors influencing the direction of parasitoid host regulation, either arresting or promoting host growth, are discussed. These findings highlight the importance of studying the mechanisms, ecology and evolution of host regulation in parasitoids for better understanding of plant-insect interactions mediated by parasitoids.

Associations between Afrotropical bats, eukaryotic parasites, and microbial symbionts

Holly L. Lutz et al.

Summary: This study identified significant correlations between bacterial community composition of the skin and dipteran ectoparasite prevalence across major bat lineages, as well as differences in skin microbial network characteristics between ectoparasitized and nonectoparasitized bats. There were also links between the oral microbiome and presence of malarial parasites among miniopterid bats. These results support the hypothesis that microbial symbionts may serve as indirect mediators of parasitism among eukaryotic hosts and parasites.

Larval response to frass and guaiacol: detection of an attractant produced by bacteria from Spodoptera littoralis frass

Santosh V. Revadi et al.

Summary: Research shows that larvae of Spodoptera littoralis are attracted to their own frass volatiles, with the key ligand being guaiacol. Bacteria producing guaiacol were isolated from frass of larvae fed on different foods. The study demonstrates that guaiacol is attractive to the larvae and could be used for pest management.

Microbial volatile organic compounds in intra-kingdom and inter-kingdom interactions

Laure Weisskopf et al.

Summary: Microorganisms produce and excrete a versatile array of metabolites with different physico-chemical properties and biological activities. Recent research has revealed that microbial volatiles are chemically diverse and play important roles in microbial interactions and inter-kingdom communication. The potential biotechnological applications of microbial volatiles, along with challenges and perspectives in this emerging research field, have also been discussed.

Microbially Mediated Chemical Ecology of Animals: A Review of Its Role in Conspecific Communication, Parasitism and Predation

Monica Mazorra-Alonso et al.

Summary: Symbiotic bacteria and fungi play crucial roles in facilitating nutrient acquisition, protecting against predators and parasites, and modulating animal behavior through chemical signaling. Their odors can inform conspecifics, but also be used by parasites and predators. Microbial symbionts can have both positive and negative effects on hosts, influencing interactions with enemies and potentially driving evolution of animal microbiomes.

Parasitism by endoparasitoid wasps alters the internal but not the external microbiome in host caterpillars

Gabriele Gloder et al.

Summary: The study found that biotic interactions such as parasitism have significant effects on the microbiome of an insect host, especially in the internal microbiome. Parasitoids transfer a Wolbachia strain to the caterpillar hosts during oviposition, which is completely absent in healthy caterpillars.
