Abstract

Laboratory experiments demonstrated that females of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma buesi started parasitization of the Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella, eggs at 25 °C faster than at 15 °C. Obviously, high temperature increases host search, inspection, and parasitization activity. Moreover, most of females that started to parasitize at 25 °C, continued parasitization at 15 °C. However, in the absence of host eggs or in the dark (when Trichogramma did not start to parasitize) high temperature did not influence further parasitization. Special experiments show that parasitization of at least one host is necessary to promote further parasitization at low temperature. Thus, the minimal effective time of exposure to high temperature in an individual female is equal to several minutes which are required to parasitize one host egg. However, the period of time from offering hosts to the beginning of parasitization vary considerably even among females of laboratory line kept under standard conditions, and, that is why, at the population level the effect on the further parasitization gradually increases with the duration of the exposure to high temperature.
