| Abstract | A native parasitoid, Apanteles polychrosidis, shifted hosts to exploit the invasive leaf miner, Caloptilia fraxinella, on horticultural ash, Fraxinus spp. in Edmonton, AB, Canada. A. polychrosidis has the potential to control populations of the invasive leaf miner, and parasitism rates are studied on two host plants, black ash, F. nigra, and green ash, F. pennsylvanica. Parasitism by A. polychrosidis of C. fraxinella differs on the two ash species. Parasitism is independent of leaf miner density on black ash, but is negatively density dependent on green ash. On green but not black ash, the host plant appears to mediate the numerical response of the parasitoid. Parasitoids are less effective at high host densities on green ash which may be because foraging behavior is not enhanced by leaf miner activity on green ash. Thirteen volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) released by green ash are detected by the antennae of A. polychrosidis, and eleven are identified here. The potential for host location mediated by VOCs is examined with olfactometer studies. Parasitoid females are differentially attracted to volatile cues of each ash species. Undamaged and mechanically damaged green ash leaflets attract female parasitoids, but in black ash, only leaflets mined by host larvae are attractive to parasitoids in olfactometer tests. These results suggest that A. polychrosidis uses host location cues induced by feeding damage on black ash but not on green ash. This differential attraction to VOCs from each ash species may mediate the differential parasitism observed in field studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
