Full textLes parasitoïdes démontrent une variation dans leurs tailles corporelles lorsqu'ils sont contraints par la quantité de ressources contenue dans l'hôte. La plasticité phénotypique des caractères reproducteurs du parasitoïde des œufs Trichogramma euproctidis ainsi que son impact sur le succès de reproduction en contexte de compétition ont été étudiés. Cette espèce a été choisie pour cette étude parce que différents aspects des stratégies de reproduction des mâles et des femelles sont bien connus.Une plasticité phénotypique des caractères reproducteurs a été observée pour T. euproctidis. Les résultats ont montré que la longueur des spermatozoïdes, et le volume et le nombre d'oocytes augmentent avec la taille corporelle. Un indice d'investissement maternel a été calculé pour déterminer l'effort investi en reproduction en lien avec la taille corporelle des femelles et suggère que les femelles de grandes tailles investissent plus de ressources en reproduction. Dans cette étude, la plasticité des caractères reproducteurs chez T. euproctidis est une conséquence d'une contrainte environnementale de disponibilité de la nourriture, suggérant que l'acquisition des ressources pendant le stade larvaire est un facteur déterminant de la valeur adaptative.En contexte de compétition spermatique, les petits spermatozoïdes ont fertilisé les œufs plus tôt dans la vie des femelles que les longs spermatozoïdes, mais seulement lorsque les petits spermatozoïdes étaient en infériorité numérique indiquant qu'ils peuvent compenser en étant plus compétitifs. Le volume des oocytes n'a pas influencé les résultats de la compétition larvaire, cependant la progéniture de la deuxième femelle qui pond a été avantagée sur la première, suggérant un comportement d'ovicide de la deuxième femelle.

The lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) is a species of prairie grouse native to the southwest Great Plains. Population declines and threats to populations of lesser prairie-chickens led U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the species as “threatened” under the protection of the Endangered Species Act in May 2014. Lesser prairie-chickens are found within three distinct ecoregions of Kansas and Colorado and portions of the species’ range are affected by tree encroachment into grasslands. The effect of trees on lesser prairie-chickens is poorly understood. I evaluated habitat selection and reproductive success and across the northern portion of the species’ range. I captured female lesser prairie-chickens within the three different ecoregions in Kansas and Colorado to track nest and brood survival and measure nest and brood habitat. My findings show that there are regional and annual variations in nest and brood survival. Mean nest survival during 2013 and 2014 was estimated to be 0.388 (95% CI = 0.343 – 0.433) for a 35-day exposure period. Brood survival during 2013 and 2014 was estimated to be 0.316 (95% CI = 0.184 – 0.457) for 56 days. Chick survival was the lowest during the first week of life and is probably a limiting factor for population growth. Chick and brood survival decreased as Julian hatch date increased. Across the northern portion of the species’ range, females consistently select visual obstruction between 2-3 dm. Vegetation at the nest changes between regions and years to reflect environmental and regional conditions. Broods consistently selected habitats with greater percent cover of forbs than was expected at random across all study sites. Broods also selected against areas of bare ground. The threshold of lesser prairie-chicken use was 2 trees/ha throughout the year. No nests were located within areas with greater densities. Lesser prairie-chickens had a greater probability of use at greater distances from trees and at lower tree densities. To provide adequate nesting habitat managers should provide 2-3 dm of visual obstruction. Providing forb cover with visual obstruction between 2.5-5 dm near nesting habitat should provide adequate habitat for broods. Removing trees in core habitats and expand removal efforts outward should expand potential habitat for lesser prairie-chickens.
