Summary 1 Ecologists concerned with life‐history strategies of parasitoid wasps have
recently focused on interspecific variation in the fraction of the maximum potential lifetime …

Abstract Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are species used worldwide for
the biological control of Lepidopteran pests, notably through inundative releases on millions …

Although there is widespread agreement that the cost of oviposition underlies selective
oviposition in insects, there is no consensus regarding which factors mediate the cost of …

Bacteria in the genus Wolbachia have evolved numerous strategies to manipulate arthropod
sex, including the conversion of would-be male offspring to asexually reproducing females …

The age of Trichogramma parasitoids could influence biological traits which are of great
importance for effectiveness of mass rearing systems. Recent studies demonstrated that …
