Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) aphid parasitoids of Malta : review and key to species [PDF]
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.

Plant species loss affects life-history traits of aphids and their parasitoids. [PDF]
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.

Rapid Establishment of a Regular Distribution of Adult Tropical Drosophila Parasitoids in a Multi-Patch Environment by Patch Defence Behaviour. [PDF]
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.

A checklist of the predators and parasitoids of the fall webworm Hyphantria cunea (Drury) (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) from around the world [PDF]
A checklist of 488 fall webworm Hyphantria cunea (Drury) natural enemies was compiled based on documentation in previous research across its world distribution, including 289 predators and 199 parasitoids.

Generalist predators disrupt parasitoid aphid control by direct and coincidental intraguild predation [PDF]
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.

Infectious Behavior in a Parasitoid
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.

Developmental temperature plays important roles in the expression of insect traits through thermal developmental plasticity. We exposed the aphid parasitoid Aphidius colemani to different temperature regimes (10, 20, or 28 °C) throughout larval ...

Social wasp nests create an environment rich in resources, such as food and shelter, which consequently attract predators, parasites, and parasitoids. Parasitoids attacks can be one of the main causes of mortality among social wasps in the early stages ...
