Abstract in brief

  • Strepsiptera are specialized endoparasitoids with significant differences between males and females, affecting how they live and reproduce.
  • Adult males and first instar larvae are free-living, while adult females can either be free-living or parasitic, depending on their suborder.
  • Their parasitism starts when the host is in larval/nymphal stages, and they have evolved unique immune avoidance mechanisms that enable them to target a variety of host species.

Nesse vídeo são as larvas de Strepsiptera nascendo, isso deve acontecer quando a fêmea é só um saco de ovos, pois tem fêmeas de Strepsiptera q são de vida livre. As larvas praticam matrifagia, depois saem do hospedeiro da mãe para procurar um para elas. https://t.co/KIQKXd8UXi

Trouxe mais informações, os Strepsiptera, podem parasitar cerca de 30 famílias diferentes de insetos. Na subordem Stylopidia, as fêmeas estão presas obrigatoriamente ao hospedeiro, porque são neotênicas, sem pernas, asas, olhos... https://t.co/wUAKEmwWyV

@____kmmk この図版みると、アリに寄生してるの、メスみたいにみえますね。 オオアリ属で何種もみつかってるみたいだし、国内のフィールドでもいてるといいなあ。 https://t.co/mTL3ooRRon
