    Notes: Abstract To test the hypothesis that natural enemy populations differ in their behavioral responses to plants or to plant allelochemicals, we compared two populations of the gregarious larval endoparasitoid, Cotesia congregata (Say) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) that differed in their historical and present exposure to tobacco. The major hosts for both populations were Manduca sexta L. and M. quinquemaculata (Haworth) (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae), but these hosts were typically encountered on tobacco by parasitoids in one population (Upper Marlboro) and on tomato by parasitoids in another population (Wye). Early in the season, Wye parasitoids preferred to oviposit in M. sexta on tomato rather than on tobacco and Upper Marlboro parasitoids showed no preference; neither population showed any preference later in the season. Neither of the strains originating from the two populations showed a landing preference for tobacco or tomato in flight chamber trials, but Upper Marlboro parasitoids searched longer on tobacco than on tomato, and Wye parasitoids searched longer on tomato. When nicotine solutions were applied to tobacco leaf, searching responses of Upper Marlboro parasitoids were enhanced by 0.001–1.0% nicotine, and searching responses of Wye parasitoids were decreased by 0.01–1.0% nicotine. We speculate that population differences in searching responses to tobacco and nicotine may explain the differential parasitism responses found early in the season.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Une expérimentation a été entreprise afin de déterminer si les différences enregistrées entre deux colonies distinctes deM. sexta, affectées également par le régime nicotiné, influencent le développement, la survie et la taille de son parasitoïdeCotesia congregata. Les sphynx du tabac d'une colonie du Maryland et de la Caroline du Nord ont été élevés sur un milieu à 0,1 % de nicotine et exposés au parasitisme parC. congregata. Les individus de la colonie du Maryland furent en général de meilleurs hôtes que ceux de la colonie de Caroline du Nord. Bien que la nicotine ait des effects négatifs sur les deux colonies, ceux-ci furent plus sévères chez les individus parasitant les sphynx de Caroline du Nord.
    Notes: Abstract Larval tobacco hornworms,Manduca sexta (L.), of 2 different colonies were exposed to parasitism by the gregarious endoparasitoid,Cotesia congregata (Say). A comparison was made of parasitoid larval, pre-pupal, and pupal mortality, female and male dry weight and larval development time. In general, “Maryland” hornworms were more suitable hosts than “North Carolina” hornworms. Although the presence of dietary nicotine increased parasitoid mortality in individuals reared from hornworms of both colonies, the effect was more severe among individuals parasitizing the North Carolina hornworms.
