Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Egg parasitoids foraging for suitable hosts scattered in the environment rely mainly on chemical cues. Elucidating the chemical ecology of natural enemies is important in the development of effective and successful strategies for conservation biological ...

Antennal Structures Used in Communication by Egg Parasitoids [PDF]
, 2009 Egg parasitoids are considered the most effective biocontrol agents of crop pests among parasitic wasps, since they are able to remove the herbivore from the agroecosystem before larval eclosion. The use of arthropod eggs as hosts by parasitoids has evolved in the Hymenoptera at least in 14 families.

Diversity of Hymenopteran Egg Parasitoids in Organic and Conventional Paddy Ecosystems
Tropical Agricultural Research, 2012 Organic farming; cultivation without chemical pesticides and fertilizers, has been known to promote the general plant diversity as well as animal diversity including many groups of animal taxa.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2005 AbstractGeneralist parasitoids are well‐known to be able to cope with the high genotypic and phenotypic plasticity of plant volatiles by learning odours during their host encounters. In contrast, specialised parasitoids often respond innately to host‐specific cues.

Trichogramma galloi and Trichogramma pretiosum for the management of Duponchelia fovealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in strawberry plants [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017 : The objective of this work was to determine the ideal number for field release of Trichogramma galloi and T.pretiosum for controlling Duponchelia fovealis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa). The experiment was carried out in a

Biological ControlEgg parasitoids are important natural enemies of several insect pests. The ability to kill the pest before it can inflict damage to the plant makes egg parasitoids ideal candidates for biological control.

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...
