Resumen

Los himenópteros parasitoides son importantes enemigos naturales de las plagas y se utilizan en programas de control biológico debido a su especificidad y capacidad para suprimir la abundancia de plagas. Sin embargo, el consumo de polen de plantas transgénicas puede afectar la biología de estos enemigos naturales. El propósito de esta investigación fue evaluar los efectos del polen de maíz Bt sobre ciertas características biológicas del parasitoide Tetrastichus howardi (Olliff) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Las características biológicas utilizadas para evaluar los efectos del polen transgénico fueron: parasitismo (%), emergencia de parasitoides (%), tiempo de desarrollo (huevo a adulto, días), número de hembras emergidas de los hospedadores, número total de parasitoides (machos y hembras) emergidos de los hospedadores, proporción sexual, número de descendientes por hembra y longevidad de la descendencia (días). El estudio se realizó durante cuatro generaciones del parasitoide. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que el consumo de polen no afectó significativamente las características biológicas del parasitoide evaluadas durante cuatro generaciones. Además, solo algunos parámetros de la biología del insecto variaron entre las generaciones, pero, según la literatura científica, esta variación biológica observada en nuestro estudio es natural para esta especie.
