The total number of Apocephalus species at La Selva remains unknown, in spite of the extraordinarily large amount of collecting.1 aBrown, Brian, V.  u<Go to ISI>://ZOOREC:ZOOR14101003668 01822nas a2200145   4500008004500000020001400045245018400059210006900243300001200312490000700324520125400331100002401585700002501609856004201634       2003                        Engldsh    a0361-652500aIncidence of Apocephalus horridus in colonies of Camponotus vicinus and the effect of antibiotic/antimycotic mixtures on fly emergence (Diptera: Phoridae; Hymenoptera: Formicidae)0 aIncidence of Apocephalus horridus in colonies of Camponotus vici  a477-4840 v423 aThe incidence of the ant-decapitating fly (Apocephalus horridus (Borgmeier), Diptera:Phoridae) in colonies of the carpenter ant Camponotus vicinus (Mayr) (Hymenoptera:Formicidae) was investigated in western Oregon. Flies were present in 3 of 8 colonies sampled at levels ranging from 1 to 15 % of the workers sampled. Flies tended to be more prevalent in medium sized workers, suggesting that larger, major workers were not preferred by ovipositing flies. Feeding studies indicated that the addition of a mixture of propiconazole and tetracycline to a glucose diet increased ant decapitation, suggesting the fly larvae were given some advantage by the treatments. Exposure of workers to elevated temperature (39[degree]C) for 48 hours decreased the incidence of decapitation suggesting that heat affected the development of fly larvae in the parasitized ants. Exposure to high temperature for short periods may rid the ants of the parasites and could be a reason for the occurrence of satellite colonies in warmer and drier locations than the parent colony in C. vicinus. The results suggest that the incidence of A. horridus in carpenter ant colonies might be manipulated by feeding workers compounds that encourage successful parasite development.1 aMankowski, Mark, E.1 aMorrell, Jeffrey, J.  u<Go to ISI>://ZOOREC:ZOOR13900061767 00460nas a2200121   4500008004500000020001400045245012900059210006900188300001100257490000700268100002100275856004200296       1999                        Engldsh    a0361-652500aDifferential host use by Neotropical phorid flies (Diptera: Phoridae) that are parasitoids of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)0 aDifferential host use by Neotropical phorid flies Diptera Phorid  a95-1030 v331 aBrown, Brian, V.  u<Go to ISI>://ZOOREC:ZOOR13500062223
