Effects of Food Source Availability, Host Egg:Parasitoid Ratios, and Host Exposure Times on the Developmental Biology of <i>Megacopta cribraria</i> Egg Parasitoids

Effects of Food Source Availability, Host Egg:Parasitoid Ratios, and Host Exposure Times on the Developmental Biology of <i>Megacopta cribraria</i> Egg Parasitoids

Parasitoids forage for hosts in dynamic ecosystems and generally have a short period of time to access hosts. The current study examined the optimal reproductive attributes of two egg parasitoids, <i>Paratelenomus saccharalis</i> Dodd (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) and <i>Ooencyrtus...
