Abstract

Response to the alarm pheromone, (E)-b-farnesene, produced by many species of aphids, was assessed in laboratory bioassays using an aphid pest, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), and its primary endoparasitoid, Diaeretiella rapae (McIntosh). This was done in three separate studies, the first investigating responses of a large number of M. persicae clones carrying different combinations of metabolic (carboxylesterase) and target site (kdr) insecticide resistance mechanisms, and the other two investigating the responses of young virgin female adult parasitoids. In M. persicae, both insecticide resistance mechanisms were associated with reduced repellence suggesting that each has a pleiotropic effect on aphid behaviour. In contrast, D. rapae females were attracted to the alarm pheromone source. The implications of this apparent fitness trade-off for the evolution and dynamics of insecticide resistance, and the potential for using beneficial insects to combat resistance development are discussed.
