Female parasitic wasps seek hosts for their offspring often in a dynamic environment.
Foraging egg parasitoids rely on a variety of chemical cues originating from the adult host …

For the location of hosts and prey, insect carnivores (ie, parasitoids or predators) often use
infochemical cues that may originate from the host/prey itself but also from the food of the …

Parasitoids searching for polyphagous herbivores can find their hosts in a variety of habitats.
Under this scenario, chemical cues from the host habitat (not related to the host) represent …

Chemical information is crucial to insect parasitoids for successful host location. Here, we
evaluated the innate response of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead)(Hymenoptera …

Wood borers are important forest insect pests and difficult to be controlled owing to their
concealed behavior. However, parasitic wasps can effectively ascertain and parasitize wood …

Ultimately, the success of augmentative fruit fly biological control depends upon the survival,
dispersal, attack rate and multi-generational persistence of mass-reared parasitoids in the …

This review draws together available information on the biology, methods for study, and
