A Comparative Functional Approach to the Host Detection Behaviour of Parasitic Wasps. 1. A Qualitative Study on Eucoilidae and Alysiinae [PDF]
We studied host detection behaviour in Alysiinae (Braconidae; Ichneumonoidea) and Eucoilidae (Cynipoidea), the larvae of which are endoparasitoids of fly larvae and in- vestigated whether this behaviour is determined by their descent or can be considered

First Canadian Record of \u3ci\u3eHexacola Neoscatellae\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Eucoilinae), A Parasitoid of the Shore Fly, \u3ci\u3eScatella Stagnalis\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]
This paper documents the first occurrence of Hexacola neoscatellae, a shore fly parasitoid, in Canada. The discovery of H. neoscatellae is significant because currently there are no suitable biological control agents available for shore fly control to ...

The Malaise Trap: Its Utility and Potential for Sampling Insect Populations [PDF]
Slightly over three decades have elapsed since Malaise (1937) first published plans for the insect trap now bearing his name a stationary mesh tent with open sides, a central baffle, and a top-mounted collecting apparatus (Fig. 1).

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...
