An acquired distaste: sugar discrimination by the larval parasitoid Microplitis croceipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is affected by prior sugar exposure
2014
Journal of Experimental Biology
We examined gustatory responses of the larval parasitoid Microplitis croceipes to determine whether the adults discriminate among common sugars, including fructose, glucose, maltose and sucrose, found in plants. When given single sugar solutions of sucrose, glucose, fructose and maltose at concentrations of 0.008-2.0 mol l −1 , the estimated concentrations at which 50% of wasps initiated feeding ranged between 0.054 and 0.085 mol l −1 for sucrose, glucose and fructose, which was significantly
