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 ...

Annual Review of Entomology, 1997
▪ Abstract Parasitoids in the insect order Diptera include an estimated 16,000 species, or approximately 20% of the total number of species with this life-style. Parasitoids in this order are exceedingly diverse in both their habits and evolutionary origins, which makes them an underutilized but highly suitable group for quantitative studies of ...

Host/parasitoid interactions: critical timing of parasitoid-derived products
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1998Short-term in vitro incubations were used to examine the ability of endoparasitoid larvae to produce and release both ecdysteroids and proteins into their environment. Second instar larvae of both Chelonus near curvimaculatus and Ascogaster quadridentata were observed by SDS-PAGE to release temporally-similar polypeptides in the 20-30kD M(r) range ...

Parasitoid communities, parasitoid guilds, and biological control
1994Abstract In the native home of a given phytophagous insect species, we can expect to find several species of parasitoids characteristically associated with the particular insect at a given location. Such a cluster of species constitutes a ‘parasitoid community’, the members of which may either remain relatively constant or vary ...

Parasitoid Foraging and Learning
1995The diminutive size of most parasitoids undoubtedly has limited their choice as subjects for behavioral study, despite their great diversity in lifestyles and reproductive strategies. The present chapter addresses their foraging behavior as influenced by learning.
