Data from: A well-studied parasitoid fly of field crickets uses multiple alternative hosts in its introduced range
<p>Organisms and their natural enemies can have dynamic coevolutionary trajectories, but anthropogenic effects like species introductions interrupt existing coevolutionary relationships. For parasites in particular, if they are introduced to a location without their hosts, they can only persist in the new environment if alternative hosts are 1) present, 2) detectable to parasites, and 3) capable of sustaining parasites. The circumstances surrounding the addition of alternative hosts to a parasite's repertoire are rarely observed. The parasitoid fly Ormia ochracea locates its field cricket hosts by orienting acoustically to their conspicuous mating songs. In Hawaii, O. ochracea is only known to parasitize one species, Teleogryllus oceanicus, but rapid evolution of T. oceanicus mating song over the past 20 years has led to several prevalent morphs of the cricket that produce no song or novel songs that the flies cannot detect. Yet flies persist in populations that lack ancestral singing T. oceanicus, prompting us to investigate the possibility of alternative hosts in Hawaii. We demonstrate first that three potential alternative hosts (Gryllodes sigillatus, Gryllus bimaculatus, and Modicogryllus pacificus) are present. Second, O. ochracea exhibits a positive phonotactic response to all three species' songs in the field and in the lab. And third, O. ochracea can successfully develop to pupae and emerge as adults in all three species. Our discovery of alternative hosts for O. ochracea in Hawaii infuses the system with intriguing complexity and offers extensive opportunities for future work.</p>

Quit bugging me: Phorid fly parasitoids affect expression of an immune gene in foraging fire ant workers
<p>This data contains RT-qPCR and diet measurements for quantifying gene expression of red imported fire ant, <em>Solenopsis invicta </em>workers in the presence and absence of the parasitoid fire ant decapitating fly, <em>Pseudacteon curvatus</em>, and assessing the amount of food after exposure to <em>P. curvatus</em>, respectively. The genes investigated were the <em>Solenopsis invicta</em> <em>foraging gene</em> (<em>Sifor</em>), <em>odorant binding protein 11 </em>(<em>OBP-11</em>), <em>abaecin, defensin-2 </em>(<em>Def-2</em>),<em> cytochrome P450 4C1-like </em>(<em>CYP4C1-like</em>), and <em>hymenoptaecin </em>(<em>hym</em>)<em>. Ribosomal Protein 18</em> (<em>RPL18</em>) was used as the reference gene. These genes of <em>S. invicta</em> workers of unknown infection status in fire ant colonies exposed to decapitating flies and control colonies were observed over a 48-h period. Two diets were measured before and after in control and treatment colonies (i.e., colonies exposed to <em>P. curvatus</em>).</p>

Data from: Selection on fruit traits is mediated by the interplay between frugivorous birds, fruit flies, parasitoid wasps, and seed-dispersing ants
Every organism on Earth must cope with a multitude of species interactions both directly and indirectly throughout its life cycle. However, how selection from multiple species occupying different trophic levels affects diffuse mutualisms has received little attention. As a result, how a given species amalgamates the combined effects of selection from multiple mutualists and antagonists to enhance its own fitness remains little understood. We investigated how multispecies interactions (frugivorous birds, ants, fruit flies, and parasitoid wasps) generate selection on fruit display traits in a seed dispersal mutualism. We used structural equation models to assess whether seed dispersers (frugivorous birds and ants) exerted phenotypic selection on fruit and seed traits in the Spiny Hackberry (Celtis ehrenbergiana), a fleshy-fruited tree, and how these selection regimes were influenced by fruit fly infestation and wasp parasitoidism levels. Birds exerted negative correlational selection on the combination of fruit crop size and mean seed weight, favoring either large crops with small seeds or small crops with large seeds. Parasitoids selected plants with higher fruit fly infestation levels, and fruit flies exerted positive directional selection on fruit size, which was positively correlated with seed weight. Therefore, higher parasitoidism indirectly correlated with higher plant fitness through increased bird fruit removal. In addition, ants exerted negative directional selection on mean seed weight. Our results show that strong selection on phenotypic traits may still arise in perceived diffuse species interactions. Overall, we emphasize the need to consider diverse direct and indirect partners to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms driving phenotypic trait evolution in multispecies interactions.
Data from: Molecular biogeography and host relations of a parasitoid fly
Successful geographic range expansion by parasites and parasitoids may also require host range expansion. Thus the evolutionary advantages of host specialization may trade off against the ability to exploit new host species encountered in new geographic regions. Here we use molecular techniques and confirmed host records to examine biogeography, population divergence, and host flexibility of the parasitoid fly, Ormia ochracea (Bigot). Gravid females of this fly find their cricket hosts acoustically by eavesdropping on male cricket calling songs; these songs vary greatly among the known host species of crickets. Using both nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers, we (1) describe the geographical distribution and sub-division of genetic variation in O. ochracea from across the continental United States, the Mexican states of Sonora and Oaxaca, and populations introduced to Hawaii; (2) demonstrate that the distribution of genetic variation among fly populations is consistent with a single widespread species with regional host specialization, rather than locally differentiated cryptic species, (3) identify the more-probable source populations for the flies introduced to the Hawaiian islands; (4) examine genetic variation and sub-structure within Hawaii; (5) show that among-population geographic, genetic, and host song distances are all correlated, and (6) discuss specialization and lability in host-finding behavior in light of the diversity of cricket songs serving as host cues in different geographically separate populations.
