DOI: 10.1016/j.cois.2022.100896
Abstract: Both hosts and parasitoids evolved a diverse array of traits and strategies for their antagonistic interactions, affecting their chances of encounter, attack and survival after parasitoid attack. This review summarizes the recent progress that has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2021.109656
Abstract: Abstract Discrete-time models are the traditional approach for capturing population dynamics of insects living in the temperate regions of the world. We revisit classical discrete-time models of host–parasitoid population dynamics and provide novel results on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1758-2229.70196
Abstract: ABSTRACT Leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) are important vectors of plant pathogens in agricultural systems. Biological control via parasitisation is a key management strategy, but little is known about how microbial symbionts mediate host‐parasitoid interactions. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14518
Abstract: Determining the host–parasitoid interactions and parasitism rates for invasive species entering novel environments is an important first step in assessing potential routes for biocontrol and integrated pest management. Conventional insect rearing techniques followed by taxonomic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/phen.12280
Abstract: Studies of thermal level‐related asynchrony in a host–parasitoid relationship are necessary to understand the effects of climate change on new host–parasitoid interactions. In the Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) and its Chalcidoidea… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0267037
Abstract: Species distributions are affected by landscape structure at different spatial scales. Here we study how the interplay between dispersal at different spatial scales and landscape connectivity and composition affect local species dynamics. Using a host-parasitoid… read more here.
