F1000Research, 2018 Background: Parasitic wasps (parasitoids) use volatile organic compounds released by herbivore-infested plants to locate their hosts. Response of parasitoids to plant odors may be plastic and dependent on their physiological state.

Biodiversity of hymenopteran parasitoids
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2023 Parasitoid wasps are the most successful group of insect parasitoids, comprising more than half the known diversity of Hymenoptera and probably most of the unknown diversity. This lifestyle has enabled them to be used as pest control agents conferring substantial economic benefits to global agriculture.

Noncrop flowering plants restore top-down herbivore control in agricultural fields [PDF]
, 2013 Herbivore populations are regulated by bottom-up control through food availability and quality and by top-down control through natural enemies. Intensive agricultural monocultures provide abundant food to specialized herbivores and at the same time ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 Herbivorous insects can escape the strong pressure of parasitoids by switching to feeding on new host plants. Parasitoids can adapt to this change but at the cost of changing their preferences and performance.

EFFICACY OF NATURAL ENEMIES AGAINST PIERIS BRASSICAE UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS OF CAULIFLOWER
FUUAST Journal of Biology, 2021 In the present study, four primary parasitoids and two hyper parasitoids were collected during 2012-2014 from cauliflower genotypes under field conditions. There were two larval parasitoids (Cotesia glomerata and Diadegma pierisae), two pupal parasitoids

Drought and root herbivory interact to alter the response of above-ground parasitoids to aphid infested plants and associated plant volatile signals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Multitrophic interactions are likely to be altered by climate change but there is little empirical evidence relating the responses of herbivores and parasitoids to abiotic factors.

Chemical ecology of insect parasitoids: towards a new era [PDF]
, 2013 Over the course of evolutionary time, insect parasitoids have developed diverse strategies for using chemical compounds to communicate with various protagonists within their environment (i.e.

Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2012 BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.
