Dynamic virulence in a parasitoid wasp: the influence of clutch size and sequential oviposition on egg encapsulation
We examined factors affecting the virulence of Metaphycus flavus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), a facultatively gregarious endoparasitoid of Coccus hesperidum (Hemiptera: Coccidae). Clutch size significantly negatively influenced encapsulation rates of the parasitoid's eggs by the host (in some case...
