Effect of Host Plant Quality on Parasitoid Ecology

Öz

Parasitoids have a complex realtionships with interspesific and intraspesific species within their environment. Their relationships with host herbivor and host plants have an important place in parasitoid ecology. The host plants have direct and indirect effects on the survival of parasitoids. These effects may vary according to the chemical and morphological properties of the host plant. Chemical and morphological characteristics of a plant determine its quality. Plant quality having a tremendous role for the suitability of host herbivor for parasitoid. In this article, the effects of host plant quality on the performance and behavioural activities of parasitoids have been described

Konukçu Bitki Kalitesinin Parazitoit Ekolojisi Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Parazitoitler, bulundukları çevrede gerek tür içi ve gerek türler arasıyla karmaşık ilişkiler içerisindedirler. Konukçu herbivor ve konukçu bitkilerle olan ilişkileri parazitoit ekolojisinde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Konukçu bitkilerin parazitoitler üzerinde doğrudan ve dolaylı etkileri sözkonusudur. Bu etkiler, bitkilerin sahip olduğu kimyasal ve morfolojik özelliklere göre değişebilmektedir. Bir bitkinin kimyasal ve morfolojik özellikleri onun kalitesini de belirlemektedir. Bitki kalitesi ise konukçu herbivorun, parazitoit için uygunluğu üzerinde sonderece önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu yazıda konukçu bitki kalitesinin parazitoitler üzerindeki etkilerine değinilmiştir
