Reproductive attributes and functional response of Anastatus japonicus on eggs of Antheraea pernyi, a factitious host [PDF]
Pest Management Science, 2022 Single 1‐day‐old mated Anastatus japonicus females exhibited a type II functional response to increasing host densities (1–50 Antheraea pernyi eggs), with an inverse host density‐dependent pattern of percent parasitism. The upper limit to the daily attack rate was estimated as 7.6 Antheraea pernyi eggs.

Courtship Is a Major Factor of Mating-Shortened Male Lifespan in an Egg Parasitoid. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMating is vital for population survival but often leads to reduced post‐mating longevity in both sexes. In many insects, sperm‐related factors are thought to cut male longevity, while in Anastatus disparis, mating also affects male longevity, with courtship being the main cause. Transcriptomic analyses of A.
