There is evidence that this “false head” (FH) defl ects predator attacks towards non-vital parts of the body. If the FH protects from visually oriented predators, its condition in an individual butterfl y could provide information about its quality to prospective mates. We tested two hypotheses based on this idea by comparing the probability of mating, duration of copulation and size of the ejaculate received by females of Callophrys xami (Lycaenidae) with an intact FH and those with an ablated FH in a paired experiment. The absence of a FH had no effect on the probability of mating, but females with an ablated FH copulated for longer and received larger ejaculates, which supports the hypothesis that males prefer females with damaged FHs because this reveals the female’s ability to defl ect attacks. Male or female (or both) cryptic choice could also account for our results, but more studies are needed to test this. * Corresponding author; e-mail: cordero@ecologia.unam.mx INTRODUCTION Deception is widespread in nature (Wickler, 1968; Ruxton et al., 2004; Howse, 2014; Stevens, 2016). In several species, some individuals provide misleading information that results in fi tness benefi ts for them and fi tness costs for the “tricked” organisms (Ruxton et al., 2014; Stevens, 2016). A classic example of deception is the “false head” present in many butterfl y species of the family Lycaenidae (Robbins, 1980). In these species, the posterior end of the hindwings resembles the head of a butterfl y that is perching with its wings closed. This resemblance is reinforced by specifi c behaviour, such as the back and forth movement of the hindwings that helps the hindwings tails (the “false antennae”) simulate the movements of real antennae (López-Palafox et al., 2015). This false head (FH hereafter) is explained as an adaptation that defl ects attacks from predators to non-vital parts of the body (Robbins, 1980; Cordero, 2001). There are only two experimental tests of this idea using species of Lycaenidae (Sourakov, 2013; López Palafox & Cordero, 2017), and in one case the results were inconsistent with the hypothesis (López Palafox & Cordero, 2017). However, comparative data on failed predator attacks on the hindwings support the predictions Eur. J.

The effects of adult age and body size on egg maturation in G. micromorpha were determined. The results showed that its egg load (number of mature eggs per female) increased when offered honey, water, but not hosts for 3 or 6 days after adult emergence. However, there was no signifi cant difference in the egg loads of 3and 6-day-old wasps. These fi ndings and the results of previous studies on other cynipoid parasitoids suggest that when hosts are not available, females of parasitoid Cynipoidea enhance their reproductive capacity in anticipation of a future improvement in the availability of hosts by using carbohydrates and reserves stored during the larval stage. Moreover, large female wasps had higher egg loads throughout their lifetime. Given that rapid increases in the population density of L. trifolii are commonly reported in greenhouses, the demographic data of 0and 3-day-old G. micromorpha females fed honey, need to be compared in the future. The effects of body size on the fecundity and longevity of G. micromorpha wasps should also be determined. * Corresponding author; e-mail: y_abe@scs.kyushu-u.ac.jp INTRODUCTION Egg maturation in parasitoid wasps has been extensively investigated in order to clarify the life-history and reproductive strategies employed by these wasps (e.g., Rosenheim et al., 2000; Jervis et al., 2001, 2008). An ovigeny index, calculated by dividing the number of mature eggs upon emergence by potential lifetime fecundity, is widely used to assess a variety of reproductive traits of parasitoids (Jervis et al., 2001, 2008; Jervis & Ferns, 2004). From the viewpoint of reproduction, parasitoid wasps are classifi ed as pro-ovigenic species, in which most or all of the potential lifetime egg complement is mature upon emergence, or synovigenic species, in which egg maturation continues throughout the adult stage (Flanders, 1950). However, a continuum between pro-ovigenic and synovigenic has also been identifi ed in parasitoids, and strict pro-ovigeny (ovigeny index = 1) is rare (Jervis et al., 2001; Ellers & Jervis, 2004). Females emerging with a considerable number of mature eggs, combined with maturation of additional eggs throughout the lifetime of the female, are referred to as prosynovigenic parasitoids (Quicke, 1997). Host feeding and production of yolk-rich eggs are common in females of synovigenic species, which are typically Eur. J.

Among them, Drosophila has emerged as an invertebrate model for investigating innate immune responses in which antimicrobial peptides play a crucial role. In the present study, immune-induced antimicrobial peptides were characterized in D. melanogaster and D. ananassae using the agar well diffusion method, HPLC, SDS-PAGE and LC-MS/MS after infection with either S. aureus or E. coli. The HPLC revealed two and three differentially induced components, respectively, in D. melanogaster and D. ananassae fl ies infected with S. aureus and E. coli. The tricine SDS-PAGE analysis also revealed two and fi ve differentially induced proteins, respectively, in D. melanogaster and D. ananassae infected with E. coli. In E. coli infected fl ies, the ~6 kDa band was produced at higher level. Based on LCMS/MS and Mascot analysis, the peptide was identifi ed as a putative cecropin A-like peptide, and the data suggested that both species of Drosophila have exhibited a clear immune response. The fl ies were also able to discriminate between bacteria, as this putative cecropin A-like peptide was produced in fl ies infected with E. coli but not S. aureus. * Corresponding author; e-mail: knagarajv@gmail.com INTRODUCTION The fruit fl y, Drosophila melanogaster has innate immunity against invading microbes. This includes both cellular and humoral immune responses (Lye, 2018; Meghashree & Nagaraj, 2020). Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an important component in the fi rst line of defence (Yuchen et al., 2019). AMPs are endogenous peptides with a molecular weight (MW) of ~2–22 kDa and they are released by the fat body (analogue of the liver) into haemolymph to clear off the microbial infections (Troha et al., 2019). The interactions of AMPs with Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria differ. The positively charged AMPs selectively interact with prokaryotes having a negatively charged bacterial cell-wall, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and phospholipids. Based on the available data (FlyBase), nine distinct classes of AMPs (23 members) are identifi ed in Drosophila (Thurmond et al., 2019). Among them, attacin, diptericin, cecropin and drosocin are produced in response to Gram-negative bacterial infections (Imd pathway), metchnikowin and defensin in response to a Gram-positive bacterial infection (Toll pathway) and drosomycin only in response to fungal infection (Sheehan et al., 2018).

Here we tested this prediction using cytogenetic and molecular analysis of Armenian and Belarusian populations of Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say, 1824) and by comparing the results with those of native (North America) and those introduced into Europe. This revealed that the karyotype of males from Armenia and Belarus is remarkably conserved with 2n = 35 (34 + X0), n = 17AA + X0; and includes a pair of large acrocentric chromosomes. Thus, these populations belong to the so-called acrocentric chromosome race of the Colorado potato beetle. At diakinesis there are clearly visible argentophilic signals, probably NORs (the nucleolus organizer regions) present on some autosomal bivalents, while the X chromosome was homogenously argentophilic during different stages of meiosis. C-banding revealed a small amount of constitutive heterochromatin weakly visible in the pericentromeric regions of some chromosomes. Analysis of the DNA-barcode fragment of the gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) revealed a single haplotype (we call it “the European haplotype”) and lack of inter-population variability in all the samples collected from different locations in Armenia and Belarus. The comparison of our karyological and molecular data with that available in the literature and GenBank shows that all the populations studied from the Old World are monomorphic with respect to karyotype and the mitochondrial DNA-barcode. We assume that (1) the presence of acrocentric chromosomes in the karyotype and (2) the European haplotype of mitochondrial genome are the ancestral states for all populations in the Old World and inherited from the New World invaders who colonized Europe 100 years ago. New World populations are polymorphic with respect to karyotype and mitochondrial genes; however, the European haplotype has not yet been found in America. We believe that in the future it will be found in North America, which will shed light on the origin of populations of this dangerous pest in Eurasia.","PeriodicalId":11940,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Entomology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44435153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the rate of decay and suitability of this method for use in the fi eld assessments, we carried out a laboratory feeding calibration experiment on 355 females of C. attenuata, which were killed at different intervals of time after ingestion (10 time points from 0 to 48 h). The prey species tested were: Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae: Trialeurodini), Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), Diglyphus isaea (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Cirrospilini), Bradysia impatiens (Johannsen) (Diptera: Sciaridae) and Drosophila mercatorum Patterson & Wheeler (Diptera: Drosophilidae: Drosophilini). Based on a probit model, amplifi cation success of prey DNA declined exponentially with increasing time after ingestion. The half-time molecular detection differed between species, ranging from an average of 5 h for T. vaporariorum and D. isaea, 6 h for B. impatiens, 15 h for L. huidobrensis to more than 40 h for D. mercatorum.

When considering introducing or enhancing a particular generalist predator species for pest control, its prey preference and effect on pests (target) and non-pests (non-target) should be studied (Stilin & Simberloff, 2000; Louda et al., 2003), even when native control agents are considered (Howarth, 2000).
