Functional response and searching efficiency in Pseudogonatopus flavifemur Esaki and Hash.(Hymenoptera: Dryinidae), a parasite of rice planthoppers

The functional response of Pseudogonatopus flavifemur E & H (Hym., Dryinidae) was investigated by offering hosts (brown planthopper) at densities ranging from 8 to 160 per cage. The response curve was found to be sigmoid, i. e. Holling's (1959) Type III curve. In experiments involving 310 h...
