摘要
The heritable nature of differential responses by Microplitis croceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to airborne allelochemicals was investigated. Four isofemale lines were tested for three generations in a flight tunnel. Flight response was found to be strongly dependent on the familial origin, with two highly responsive lines being clearly differentiated from two less responsive ones. Each isofemale line could also be recognized by typical behaviors that suggested that M. croceipes females may inherit independent characters of sensory acuity to plant and to host chemicals and of learning ability. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
