Microorganisms inhabiting floral nectar can alter several nectar traits, including nectar odor by producing microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). Evidence showing that mVOCs can affect the foraging behavior of insect pollinators is increasing in the literature, whereas the role of mVOCs in altering the foraging behavior of third-trophic level organisms such as insect parasitoids is largely overlooked. Parasitoids are frequent visitors of flowers and are well known to feed on nectar. In this study, we isolated bacteria inhabiting floral nectar of buckwheat,\n Fagopyrum esculentum\n (Polygonales: Polygonaceae), to test the hypothesis that nectar bacteria affect the foraging behavior of the egg parasitoid\n Trissolcus basalis\n (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) via changes in odors of nectar. In behavioral assays, we found that\n T\n .\n basalis\n wasps are attracted toward nectar fermented by 4 out of the 14 bacterial strains isolated, which belong to\n Staphylococcus epidermidis\n ,\n Terrabacillus saccharophilus\n (both Firmicutes),\n Pantoea\n sp. (Proteobacteria), and\n Curtobacterium\n sp. (Actinobacteria). Results of chemical investigations revealed significant differences in the volatile blend composition of nectars fermented by the bacterial isolates. Our results indicate that nectar-inhabiting bacteria play an important role in the interactions between flowering plants and foraging parasitoids. These results are also relevant from an applied perspective as flowering resources, such as buckwheat, are largely used in agriculture to promote conservation biological control of insect pests."],["dc.description.sponsorship"," Università degli Studi di Palermo http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100004913"],["dc.description.sponsorship"," Università degli Studi di Palermo 501100004913"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00248-022-02078-6"],["dc.identifier.pii","2078"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/113968"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-597"],["dc.relation.eissn","1432-184X"],["dc.relation.issn","0095-3628"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Nectar-Inhabiting Bacteria Affect Olfactory Responses of an Insect Parasitoid by Altering Nectar Odors"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
