Molecular detection of trophic links in a complex insect host?parasitoid food web
Original language description
We present a general method for molecular detection of host?parasitoid links applied to a complex caterpillar?parasitoid food web from tropical rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Our analysis affirmed 93 hitherto unknown trophic links between 37 host species from a wide range of Lepidoptera families and 46 parasitoid species from Hymenoptera and Diptera by identifying DNA sequences for both the host and the parasitoid involved in the interaction. Molecular detection proved especially useful in cases wheredistinguishing host species in caterpillar stage was difficult morphologically, or when the caterpillar died during rearing. Using the molecular approach outlined here leads to better understanding of parasitoid host specificity, opens new possibilitiesfor rapid surveys of food web structure and allows inference of species associations not already anticipated.
