Effects of high temperature stress on parasitoid wasps and their adaptation mechanisms
Insects,including parasitoid wasps,as a group of poikilotherm,are highly susceptible to high-temperature stress.Parasitoid wasps are the most commonly used natural enemy insects in the field of,in which Trichogramma spp.have been widely used in China for the control of lepidopteran pests in agroforestry.The study of effects of high temperature stress on parasitoid wasps can provide an important theoretical basis for biological control of agricultural and forestry pests in the context of global warming.Here we provide a systematic review on the life activities of parasitoid wasps affected by high temperature stress and the response mechanism of parasitoid wasps.Finally,we also look forward to the problems and challenges of high temperature as an ecological factor in the future large-scale rearing and application of parasitoid wasps,with a view to playing a more important role in biological control in agricultural production.
