Encyrtid Parasitoids of Soft Scale Insects: Biology, Behavior, and Their Use in Biological Control
Parasitoids of the hymenopterous family Encyrtidae are one of the most important groups of natural enemies of soft scale insects and have been used extensively in biological control. We summarize existing knowledge of the biology, ecology, and behavior of these parasitoids and how it relates to biol...
