Parasitoid load affects plant fitness in a tritrophic system [PDF]
, 2008 Plants attacked by herbivorous insects emit volatile compounds that attract predators or parasitoids of the herbivores. Plant fitness increases when these herbivorous insects are parasitized by solitary parasitoids, but whether gregarious koinobiont ...

Host Searching by Egg Parasitoids: Exploitation of Host Chemical Cues [PDF]
, 2010 Insect parasitoids are considered “keystone species” in many ecosystems in terms of biodiversity, ecological impact and economic importance (Vinson 1985, LaSalle and Gauld 1993, Hawkins et al. 1999).

EntomoBrasilis, 2022 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 ...

Large-scale migration synchrony between parasitoids and their host [PDF]
, 2015 1. Parasitoids are a valuable group for conservation biological control. In their role as regulators of aphid pests, it is critical that their lifecycle is synchronised with their hosts in both space and time.

Interactions between Bacillus thuringiensis and entomophagous insects
Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020 The interactions between insect pathogens, parasitoids, and predators have been proposed as “intraguild predation (IGP).” It occurs when two species share a host or prey (and therefore may compete) or when they engage in a trophic interaction with each ...

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 ...
