Abstract The cleptoparasitoid Eupelmus vuilleti recognizes and prefers laying on hosts parasitized by Dinarmus basalis to unparasitized hosts. This recognition is based on the perception of a chemical substance deposited on the surface of the seed. Dufour’s gland secretion and cuticular hydrocarbons of D. basalis are attractive and may mediate the host discrimination. This activity is linked to a mixture of linear and methyl alkanes whose source is apparently the Dufour’s gland. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
