Competition Within and Between Species of Parasitoid Wasps

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Although competition plays a significant role in communities, it is sometimes difficult to demonstrate the complexity of competitive interactions to an introductory class. This exercise investigates the effects of competition on reproduction within and between two species. Students design an experiment by placing females on a host, alone, or with conspecific or interspecific competitors. In a subsequent lab, students gather data on the number of offspring produced by females under each condition and discuss implications of the results. For more advanced students, information is included on using statistical analyses to compare the impacts of interspecific vs. intraspecific competition.

Investigative Laboratories in Cell Biology Using a Host-Parasitoid Model

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: A series of exercises were developed in the cell biology laboratory using a host-parasite system: the tobacco hornworm and an inoffensive parasitoid wasp. Exercises are fully investigative and no initial schedule is given to the students who, after becoming acquainted with the system, raise questions and decide as a group what they wish to study next (Cell morphology? Cytoskeleton? Protein synthesis?). This workshop involved introduction to the system of study, phase contrast microscopy, and digital image capturing as examples of how the system can be used. Some of the numerous biological concepts that may be taught using this system are outlined herein. The development of this system was funded by a CCLI-NSF grant (DUE 99-51371).
