Effect Host Plants on Parasitism Rate of the Parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae (M'intosh) on the Aphid Brevicoryne brassicae L., [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2016 The experiments were carried out in laboratory at Plant Protection Institute, Sharkia branch, Sharkia Governorate during 2013-2014 seasons. The results indicate that the female of D. rapae accepted all stages of the cabbage aphid B. brassicae. The number

Differing success of defense strategies in two parasitoid wasps in protecting their pupae against a secondary hyperparasitoid [PDF]
, 2011 During their larval development, endoparasitoids are known to dispose of host resources in several different ways. Some parasitoid wasps consume most or all tissues of the host, whereas others consume a small fraction of host resources and either ensure ...

Smelling the wood from the trees: non-linear parasitoid responses to volatile attractants produced by wild and cultivated cabbage [PDF]
, 2011 Despite a large number of studies on herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), little is known about which specific compounds are used by natural enemies to locate prey- or host- infested plants.

Tri-trophic effects of seasonally variable induced plant defenses vary across the development of a shelter building moth larva and its parasitoid. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Plant chemical defenses can negatively affect insect herbivore fitness, but they can also decrease herbivore palatability to predators or decrease parasitoid fitness, potentially changing selective pressures on both plant investment in production of ...
