The importance of niche overlap between parasitoids in the single- or multiple-introduction problem in biological control is exhibited by mathematical...
Read moreTheoretical studies have presented conflicting conclusions about the value of introducing multiple parasitoid species to control insect pests, dependi...
Read moreAccurate identification of natural enemies is the cornerstone of biological control, and methods that can separate closely related species are essenti...
Read moreInsect parasitoids comprise a large fraction of terrestrial biodiversity. Because of this diversity, species-level conservation of most parasitoid spe...
Read moreDispersal and host-foraging activity are important behavioural characteristics for parasitoid species used as biological control agents. Appropriate m...
Read moreHeteronomous hyperparasitism, in which male parasitoids develop at the expense of conspecific females or competing parasitoid species, is characterist...
Read moreParasitoids often are selected for use as biological control agents because of their high host specificity, yet such host specificity can result in st...
