Temporal fluctuations and geographic distributions of Leptopilina (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) species in North Carolina: Implications for biological control of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

To better understand populations of spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila
suzukii) parasitoids, especially the newly established Leptopilina
japonica, we compare detection methods and report on temporal fluctuations
and geographic distributions in North Carolina blackberry fields. Data
were collected from October 2022 to November 2023.

为深入解析斑翅果蝇（Drosophila suzukii）寄生蜂种群，尤其是新定殖的日本潜蝇茧蜂（Leptopilina japonica）种群，本研究对比了多种检测手段，并报道了北卡罗来纳州黑莓田内该类群的时间动态波动与地理分布特征。相关数据采集于2022年10月至2023年11月期间。
