| Descricão e Informacões Adicionais | Insect parasitoids use a variety of chemical and physical cues when foraging for hosts and food.

Two sets of experiments were conducted: in one the innate preference for substrate colours was examined, in the other associative learning of substrate colour and host presence was tested in multiple-choice and dual-choice experiments. In the associative learning experiments,Te.podisiandTr.basalisweretrainedtorespondtodifferentlycolouredsubstratescontaining hosts in two sessions of 2 h each, with 1-h intervals. In multiple-choice experiments, the wasps displayed innate preference for yellow substrates over green, brown, black, or white ones. Even after being trained on substrates of different colours, both parasitoids continued to show preference for yellow substrates. The response to the colours of substrates of both parasitoids was related with the orientationtotheplantfoliageduringthesearchforhosts. |
