Spatial overlap and temporal synchrony between guilds of insect hosts and parasitoids
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study identified a spatial overlap between insect host guild richness and parasitoid richness. Species richness in parasitoid guilds always increased later in the season than richness of their host guilds. These findings suggest that shifts in climate and land‐use may alter the synchrony of insect trophic layers.
