Diet can influence parasitoid reproductive performance, and therefore, the efficacy of
biocontrol programs. We evaluated the influence of food deprivation on the reproductive …

Diet can have a direct influence on the reproductive success of parasitoid wasps. For
synovigenic parasitoids, the nutrients obtained from floral resources, such as nectar and …

Leaf miners belonging to the family Agromizydae (Diptera) include serious pests of
numerous vegetable crops such as beans, cucumber, potato and crucifers in the world (eg …

In this study, the effects of different food sources were tested on the longevity, fecundity, host-
feeding and parasitism rates of Gonatopus bonaerensis Virla (pincer wasp) using the …

Host feeding is the consumption of host tissue by the adult female parasitoid. We studied the
function of destructive host feeding and its advantage over non‐destructive feeding on host …

The diet of adult parasitoid wasps is vital for their survival and reproduction. However, the
availability of food resources, such as plant nectar, can vary widely in cropping systems …

Egg parasitoids play an important role in regulation and suppression of natural populations
of the Sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae). Trissolcus …

The effects of long-term laboratory rearing on the performance of Telenomus remus Nixon
(Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), an egg parasitoid of Spodoptera frugiperda (JE …

Neochrysocharis formosa (Westwood), an important biocontrol agent of agromyzid
leafminers worldwide, is a host-feeding, idiobiont parasitoid. Female wasps have three types …

Adult dietary regimes in insects may affect egg production, fecundity and ultimately fitness.
This is especially relevant in parasitoid wasps where many species serve as important …
