Intraguild predation interactions have substantial theoretical and practical implications for the dynamics of natural competitor populations used for biological control. Intraguild predation on parasitized aphids not only has a direct, negative effect on the parasitoid species, but it may indirectly influence the predator’s development, survival, reproduction and predation rates. In this study, we used two-sex life table theory, life table parameters and predation rates of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) to compare when its populations fed on aphids (Myzus persicae Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) that were either unparasitized or parasitized by Aphidius gifuensis (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Our results showed that individuals of A. aphidimyza were capable of completing their development and attaining maturity when they fed on parasitized aphids. Although feeding on parasitized aphids did not influence the survival rates of immature A. aphidimyza, it did significantly slow their development and extended their longevity, thereby reducing the fecundity and predation rates of A. aphidimyza. These findings may be pivotal for better understanding the sustained coexistence of predators with parasitoids in the biological control of aphids.
