Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) aphid parasitoids of Malta : review and key to species [PDF]
, 2015 This paper brings an annotated list of the 16 aphid parasitoids detected up to 2015 in Malta. All the species were reared from identified aphid-plant associations. An illustrated key to the identification of the recorded species from Malta is provided.

Life-history traits in closely related secondary parasitoids sharing the same primary parasitoid host: evolutionary opportunities and constraints [PDF]
, 2009 Thus far, few studies have compared life-history traits amongst secondary parasitoids attacking and developing in cocoons of their primary parasitoid hosts.

Rapid Establishment of a Regular Distribution of Adult Tropical Drosophila Parasitoids in a Multi-Patch Environment by Patch Defence Behaviour. [PDF]
, 2011 Females of the larval parasitoid of Drosophila, Asobara citri, from sub-Saharan Africa, defend patches with hosts by fighting and chasing conspecific females upon encounter.

Plant-mediated effects in the Brassicaceae on the performance and behaviour of parasitoids [PDF]
, 2009 Direct and indirect plant defences are well studied, particularly in the Brassicaceae. Glucosinolates (GS) are secondary plant compounds characteristic in this plant family. They play an important role in defence against herbivores and pathogens.

Plant species loss affects life-history traits of aphids and their parasitoids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The consequences of plant species loss are rarely assessed in a multi-trophic context and especially effects on life-history traits of organisms at higher trophic levels have remained largely unstudied.

Infectious Behavior in a Parasitoid
Science, 2003 Solitary parasitoid insects usually lay only one egg per host and reject already parasitized hosts, because only one offspring can successfully develop ([ 1 ][1]). Despite the constraints, superparasitism is commonly observed.

Generalist predators disrupt parasitoid aphid control by direct and coincidental intraguild predation [PDF]
, 2011 Generalist predators and parasitoids are considered to be important regulators of aphids. The former not only feed on these pests, but might also consume parasitoids at all stages of development.
