Experimental evolution in host-parasitoid interactions.
Publication: Genetics, evolution and biological control
pp. 163-181
Abstract
This paper explores whether experimental evolution using host-parasitoid interactions can shed light on why resistance to parasitoids rarely, if ever, evolves under biological control. This paper brings together some observations from biological control projects which are suggestive of evolution taking place, either in the pest or in the parasitoids, and subsequently focuses in more detail on two host-parasitoid model systems, i.e. house flies (Musca domestica) and their pupal parasitoid (Nasonia vitripennis), and fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) and their larval parasitoids (including the braconid Asobara tabida and the eucoilids Leptopilina heterotoma and L. boulardi) which have been subject of experimental evolution in the laboratory.
