Resumo: | Symbiosis is one of the main players in evolution and ecology of organisms. Such intimate interactions may be diverse and have a great impact in biological diversification. One of the main associations that occur in nature is that of insects and microbes. Insect associated microbes are, capable of altering a wide range of physiological, behavioral, ecological and evolutionary events for their hosts. Two very common insect microbial symbionts are Wolbachia and Spiroplasma. Wolbachia is also common to other arthropods and nematodes. To better understand how these relations could influence the behavior of insects, we selected two biological systems to investigate how these symbionts can interfere in the host - parasitoid interactions. We investigated the behavior of two species of parasitoids, Aphelinus asychis (Hymenoptera: Aphididae) and Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) when exploting patches with their respective hosts, Aphis citricidus (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Anagasta kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). In the first case we looked into how Spiroplasma infecting hosts, and in the second case how Wolbachia infecting the parasitoid may affect parasitoid patch exploitation. We recorded the wasp\'s behaviors when exploiting their patches, as well as the aphid defensive behavior in response to parasitoid attack. Our data demonstrate Spiroplasma and Wolbachia influence the parasitoid patch exploitation decisions. Spiroplasma also affected the defense behavior and aggressiveness of A. citricidus in response to A. asychis attack. Wolbachia increased the patch residence time and reduced the successful parasitization of host eggs in T. pretiosum. The understanding of such effects will certainly contribute to provide a better knowledge of the outcome of the associations of insects with microbial symbionts, providing ground base for the proper exploitation of such interactions for biological control purposes. |

Tais interações são muito íntimas, podendo ser muito diversas e ter grandes impactos na diversidade biológica. Uma das principais associações que ocorrem na natureza é aquela entre insetos e microrganismos. Microrganismos associados a insetos são capazes de alterar uma gama de eventos fisiológicos, comportamentais, ecológicos e evolutivos em seus hospedeiros. Dois simbiontes de insetos muito comuns são Wolbachia e Spiroplasma. Wolbachia é também muito comum a outros artrópodes e nematoides. Para melhor compreender como essas relações podem influenciar o comportamento de insetos, dois sistemas biológicos foram selecionados para investigar como esses simbiontes podem interferir nas interações hospedeiro-parasitoide. O comportamento de duas espécies de parasitoides, Aphelinus asychis (Hymenoptera: Aphididae) e Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) foi investigado quando explorando patches com seus respectivos hospedeiros, Aphis citricidus (Hemiptera: Aphididae) e Anagasta kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). No primeiro caso foi investigado como a infecção do hospedeiro por Spiroplasma, e no segundo caso como a infecção do parasitoide por Wolbachia, afetariam a exploração da patch pelos parasitoides. O comportamento dos parasitoides ao explorarem suas patches foi registrado, assim como os comportamentos de defesa dos pulgões em resposta ao ataque do parasitoide. Os dados obtidos demonstraram que Spiroplasma afetaram o comportamento de defesa e a agressividade de A. citricidus em resposta aos ataques de A. asychis. Wolbachia aumentou o tempo de residência e reduziu o sucesso de parasitismo de ovos do hospedeiro por T. pretiosum. A compreensão de tais efeitos certamente contribuirá para o melhor entendimento dos efeitos da associação de insetos a simbiontes, fornecendo bases sólidas para a melhor exploração de tais interações para propósitos de controle biológico de pragas.Biblioteca Digitais de Teses e Dissertações da USPCônsoli, Fernando LuisZitelli, Caio Henrique Lopes2018-12-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/11/11146/tde-20032019-155515/reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USPinstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPLiberar o conteúdo para acesso público.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesseng2022-12-04T12:57:29Zoai:teses.usp.br:tde-20032019-155515Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://www.teses.usp.br/PUBhttp://www.teses.usp.br/cgi-bin/mtd2br.plvirginia@if.usp.br|| atendimento@aguia.usp.br||virginia@if.usp.bropendoar:27212022-12-04T12:57:29Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USP - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false |

Symbiosis is one of the main players in evolution and ecology of organisms. Such intimate interactions may be diverse and have a great impact in biological diversification. One of the main associations that occur in nature is that of insects and microbes. Insect associated microbes are, capable of altering a wide range of physiological, behavioral, ecological and evolutionary events for their hosts. Two very common insect microbial symbionts are Wolbachia and Spiroplasma. Wolbachia is also common to other arthropods and nematodes. To better understand how these relations could influence the behavior of insects, we selected two biological systems to investigate how these symbionts can interfere in the host - parasitoid interactions. We investigated the behavior of two species of parasitoids, Aphelinus asychis (Hymenoptera: Aphididae) and Trichogramma pretiosum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) when exploting patches with their respective hosts, Aphis citricidus (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Anagasta kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). In the first case we looked into how Spiroplasma infecting hosts, and in the second case how Wolbachia infecting the parasitoid may affect parasitoid patch exploitation. We recorded the wasp\'s behaviors when exploiting their patches, as well as the aphid defensive behavior in response to parasitoid attack. Our data demonstrate Spiroplasma and Wolbachia influence the parasitoid patch exploitation decisions. Spiroplasma also affected the defense behavior and aggressiveness of A. citricidus in response to A. asychis attack.
