Selectivity of chlorantraniliprole to parasitoid wasps
Pest Management Science, 2010AbstractBACKGROUND: Chlorantraniliprole is a novel anthranilic diamide insecticide registered for use in vegetables, fruits, grains and turf against a variety of insect pests. The objective of this article is to summarize results of acute toxicity testing of chlorantraniliprole on seven species of parasitic wasps with wide geographic distribution and ...

Optimal Foraging by Parasitoid Wasps
The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1978(1) Experiments have been described in which insect parasites were observed continuously searching in a patchy host habitat. (2) The results of these experiments have been used to examine in greater detail the predictions of the Cook & Hubbard (1977) model for the outcome of search by insect parasites and predators.

Current Biology
Parasitoids - insects that parasitize other insects - have fascinating biologies that have made them darlings of the science fiction genre, owing to their wide array of innovative and often gruesome strategies for living off other organisms. These insects do not sting, but rather lay eggs on or inside their hosts, typically another insect or spider ...

Intrinsic Inter- and Intraspecific Competition in Parasitoid Wasps
Annual Review of Entomology, 2013Immature development of parasitoid wasps is restricted to resources found in a single host that is often similar in size to the adult parasitoid. When two or more parasitoids of the same or different species attack the same host, there is competition for monopolization of host resources.

The state of parasitoid wasp genomics
Trends in ParasitologyParasitoid wasps represent a group of parasitic insects with high species diversity that have played a pivotal role in biological control and evolutionary studies. Over the past 20 years, developments in genomics have greatly enhanced our understanding of the biology of these species.

The evolution of polyembryony in parasitoid wasps.
Journal of evolutionary biology, 2010Polyembryony has evolved independently in four families of parasitoid wasps. We review three main hypotheses for the selective forces favouring this developmental mode in parasitoids: polyembryony (i) reduces the costs of egg limitation; (ii) reduces the genetic conflict among offspring; and (iii) allows offspring to adjust their numbers to the quality

Systematics, Biology, and Evolution of Microgastrine Parasitoid Wasps
Annual Review of Entomology, 2018The braconid parasitoid wasp subfamily Microgastrinae is perhaps the most species-rich subfamily of animals on Earth. Despite their small size, they are familiar to agriculturalists and field ecologists alike as one of the principal groups of natural enemies of caterpillars feeding on plants.

Virus in a Parasitoid Wasp: Suppression of the Cellular Immune Response in the Parasitoid's Host
Science, 1981A virus that replicates in the ovary of a parasitoid wasp is injected into the parasitoid's host during oviposition. Successful development of the parasitoid egg within the host depends on the presence of the virus, which acts to suppress the host's immune response (encapsulation) toward the egg.
