Spatial population dynamics of a specialist aphid parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae): evidence for philopatry and restricted dispersal
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010-01)
Within insect communities, the population ecology of organisms
representing higher trophic levels, for example, hymenopterous
parasitoids, may be influenced by the structure of
their insect hosts. Using microsatellite ...
Stay at home aphids: comparative spatial and seasonal metapopulation structure and dynamics of two specialist tansy aphid species studied using microsatellite markers
(The Linnean Society of London, 2011-06)
Two tansy-feeding aphids, Macrosiphoniella tanacetaria (MA) and Metopeurum fuscoviride (ME), were studied at a
small spatial scale in and around Jena (< 80 km2) using polymorphic microsatellite markers. Both species were ...
Coevolutionary fine-tuning: evidence for genetic tracking between a specialist wasp parasitoid and its aphid host in a dual metapopulation interaction
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-04)
In the interaction between two ecologically-associated species, the population structure of one species may affect the population structure of the other. Here, we examine the population structures of the aphid Metopeurum ...

Effects of pea aphid secondary endosymbionts on aphid resistance and development of the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi: a correlative study
(2010-05)
In order to reduce parasite-induced mortality, hosts may be involved in mutualistic interactions in
which the partner contributes to resistance against the parasite. The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum

Temporal genetic structuring of a specialist parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) attacking a specialist aphid on tansy
(The Linnean Society of London, 2011)
In insect species characterized by inbreeding, limited dispersal, and a metapopulation structure, high genetic
differentiation and reduced genetic diversity within local populations are expected. Using the model ...
