Abstract: BACKGROUND In its invaded regions, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) is a novel host for the community of resident parasitoids of Drosophila. To attain a high parasitization rate on the novel host, the parasitoids have to locate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13355-020-00669-8
Abstract: Female parasitoids distinguish between host-infested and intact plants using chemical cues; however, the contribution of intact plants to host searching of parasitoids has not been investigated so far. Here, we tested how host-searching behavior of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182018000288
Abstract: Abstract The transmission from one host to another constitutes a challenging obstacle for parasites and is a key determinant of their fitness. Due to their complex life histories involving several different hosts, the free-living dispersal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09583157.2021.1950124
Abstract: ABSTRACT The host-searching capacity of the parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was evaluated in field cages with Anastrepha ludens (Loew)-infested mangoes. The main objective was to determine whether the data collected from these evaluations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/ary001
Abstract: When animals search for resources, they often make more accurate decisions when they specialize on a subset of available resources. This strategy might be particularly useful in complex environments where there is an overwhelming amount… read more here.
