Abstract: The suitability and quality of herbivorous insect hosts for hymenopteran parasitoids is dynamic, varying with host development. Generally, within a host species, large hosts (i.e. older instars) are considered of higher quality for parasitoid development.… read more here.

Abstract: Synopsis Biodiversity–disease studies typically focus on how changes in community composition (e.g., species richness, abundance, and functional or phylogenetic metrics of biodiversity) affect disease risk. In doing so, these studies tend to overlook intraspecific variation… read more here.
