DOI: 10.1016/j.fooweb.2020.e00170
Abstract: Abstract Parasitism represents an important ecosystem service, reducing pest abundance. Since most hosts of parasitoids are herbivores, plant diversity likely shapes both herbivore and parasitoid assemblages. While restoration efforts are being adopted worldwide, mitigating habitat… read more here.
