Impact of herbivore-induced plant volatiles on parasitoid foraging success: A spatial simulation of the Cotesia rubecula, pieris rapae, and Brassica oleracea system
Puente, M., Magori, K., Kennedy, G. G., & Gould, F. (2008, July). JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ECOLOGY, Vol. 34, pp. 959–970.
author keywords: tritrophic interactions; herbivore-induced plant volatiles; parasitoid behavior; signal utility; spatial simulation model
MeSH headings : Animals; Brassica / parasitology; Feeding Behavior / physiology; Female; Hymenoptera / growth & development; Hymenoptera / physiology; Larva / physiology; Lepidoptera / growth & development; Lepidoptera / physiology; Models, Biological

Under the most likely natural conditions, the model predicts that C. rubecula gains fitness from following plant cues, and in most of the parameter combinations studied, parasitoids that responded to cues attacked more hosts than those that foraged randomly.

Intraspecific aggression and colony fusion in the Argentine ant
ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 75, 583–593.
author keywords: aggression; Argentine ant; colony fusion; cuticular hydrocarbons; genetic similarity; invasive species; Linepithema humile (Mayr); nestmate recognition; unicoloniality
