European Journal of Entomology, 2012 Age of host eggs can be a limiting factor for egg parasitoids. It is expected that old eggs are less preferred by egg parasitoids, which can discriminate between eggs of different ages by using chemical cues.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Female egg parasitoids must optimize their ability to find a suitable host for reproduction in a limited foraging time. Odorant cues associated with the plant–host complex play an essential role in guiding females toward the host.

Oviposition experience promotes active reproductive behaviour in a synovigenic parasitoid [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Parasitoids are important insects that are commonly released into the environment to reduce the population sizes of pest species. The lifetime reproductive success of parasitoids mainly depends on host availability and the availability of mature eggs ...

An exotic parasitoid provides an invasional lifeline for native parasitoids
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 The introduction of an exotic species may alter food webs within the ecosystem and significantly affect the biodiversity of indigenous species at different trophic levels.

Egg Parasitoids of Citrus Weevils in Guadeloupe
Florida Entomologist, 2008 To determine parasitism and mortality factors affecting citrus weevils in Guadeloupe an explor atory trip to the island was taken in the summer of 2006. Guadeloupe was surveyed for egg parasi toids and other natural enemies with the intent of augmenting the parasitoid species that have al ready been imported and released to control the citrus root ...

Phenotypic plasticity and fitness in egg parasitoids [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2010 Several proxies can be used to estimate the fitness of egg parasitoids: size, longevity, fecundity, mating ability and vagility. All these proxies are positively correlated with the lifetime fitness gain of an individual. However, the phenotypic plasticity, which is the ability of a genotype to produce distinct phenotypes depending on environmental ...
