The effects of thelytoky-inducing Wolbachia ( α-proteobacteria) on Trichogramma cordubensis and T. deion (Hymenoptera, Trichogrammatidae) were studied in laboratory and greenhouse conditions. One infected (thelytokous, all female) line of each wasp species was compared with its conspecific uninfected (arrhenotokous, sexual) counterpart for several fecundity and dispersal traits. Arrhenotokous lines had a higher fecundity than their thelytokous counterparts, which suggests that Wolbachia negatively affect the fecundity of Trichogramma females. The arrhenotokous females dispersed more in the laboratory than their thelytokous counterparts. In the greenhouse, the opposite effect or no difference between lines was found, indicating that the laboratory set-up used to measure dispersal is not useful to predict relative dispersal of the females in the greenhouse. Calculations show that by releasing 100 adult wasps of both lines, thus including arrhenotokous males in the sexual line, more eggs are parasitized by the thelytokous wasps. Therefore, in spite of their lower individual female fecundity, thelytokous lines have a better potential for biological control than their arrhenotokous counterparts. |
