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 …

Arthropods that prey on or parasitize other arthropods frequently employ those chemical
cues that reliably indicate the presence of their prey or hosts. Eavesdropping on the sex …

The first third of this paper discusses the general host selection behavior of parasitoid
Hymenoptera with some modifications of previous interpretations and presentations. This is …

Brassica crops are grown worldwide for oil, food and feed purposes, and constitute a
significant economic value due to their nutritional, medicinal, bioindustrial, biocontrol and …

Parasitoids are insects that spend their immature stages feeding from the tissues of other
arthropods, eventually killing them. Many insects that serve as hosts for parasitoids are …

Abstract The parasitoids Trichogramma chilonis (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and
Cotesia plutellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), and the predator Chrysoperla carnea …

Allelochemicals are known to serve important roles at all steps in the host-searching
sequence of parasitoids. We discuss the various roles of these allelochemics and the type of …

In this paper the question is addressed whether or not responses to semiochemicals are
relevant to the quality of entomophagous insects for inundative biological pest control. Four …

Heliothis zea (Boddie) larvae fed cowpea seedlings produced volatile semiochemicals to
which Microplitis demolitor Wilkinson responded in a wind tunnel. However, most M …

The lacewing Chrysopa cognata, one of the principal predators of aphids in Korea, was
tested for responses to the aphid sex pheromone components (4a S, 7 S, 7a R) …
