摘要

最近，我们报道了微小捕食螨Neoseiulus californicus（Acari：Phytoseiidae）的育雏寄生现象；该物种的成年雌螨喜欢将自己的卵添加到另一种捕食螨Gynaeseius liturivorus（Acari：Phytoseiidae）的卵群中，后者会保护自己的卵免受捕食者的攻击。在这里，我们研究了失明的加州蛱蝶用来探测 G. liturivorus 卵的线索。我们的研究表明，加州蛱蝶利用蝮蛇卵散发的挥发性物质来确定蝮蛇卵的产卵地点。成年雌性 G. liturivorus 会花更多时间守卫含有更多卵子的产卵地点，这导致卵子的人均存活率更高。因此，我们假设加州尼罗河蛙更喜欢有更多加州尼罗河蛙卵的产卵地点。事实上，加州蛱蝶更喜欢在有 6 枚以上 G. liturivorus 卵的产卵地点产卵，这相当于一只雌性 G. liturivorus 在 1 天内产卵的平均数量。我们的研究结果表明，加州蛱蝶利用卵的挥发性物质来确定 G. liturivorus 的产卵地点，从而有效地保护前者的卵免受天敌的捕食。

期刊介绍： Ecological Entomology publishes top-quality original research on the ecology of insects and related invertebrate taxa. Our aim is to publish papers that will be of considerable interest to the wide community of ecologists who are motivated by ecological or evolutionary theory. The suitability of a manuscript will usually be assessed within 5 days. We publish full-length Original Articles as well as Reviews, Short Communications, Methods and Natural History papers. In Original Articles, we greatly prefer papers that test specific hypotheses and which have a high degree of novelty. All categories aim for innovative contributions that advance the subject of ecological entomology.
