Do interactions between plant roots and the rhizosphere affect parasitoid behaviour? [PDF]
, 2004 Multitrophic interactions are powerful forces shaping the structure of living communities. Plants encounter a great diversity of organisms in their environment: some of these interactions are beneficial (e.g. symbiotic fungi and insect pollinators) while

Mating behaviour of Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): The role of antennae
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 In the mating behaviour of Aphidius ervi Haliday the antennae play a pivotal role in partner recognition and acceptance. Mating failure was always observed when antennal contact was experimentally prevented. The male of A.
