A Parasitoid of Aphids Manipulates Host Mummification Site, With Effects on Survival but Not Hyperparasitism [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMany parasites change the behavior of their host. Parasitoid wasps, for example, frequently engage in body guard manipulation to induce behaviors in their hosts that enhance parasite survival after pupation.
