Coevolutionary fine-tuning: evidence for genetic tracking between a specialist wasp parasitoid and its aphid host in a dual metapopulation interaction
(2012-09)
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 ...
Stay at home aphids: comparative spatial and seasonal metapopulation structure and dynamics of two specialist tansy aphid species studied using microsatellite markers
(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 ...
Spatial population dynamics of a specialist aphid parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae): evidence for philopatry and restricted dispersal
(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 ...
