Host size and spatiotemporal patterns mediate the coexistence of specialist parasitoids
Many insect parasitoids are highly specialized and thus develop on only one or a few related host species, yet some hosts are attacked by many different parasitoid species in nature. For this reason, they have been often used to examine the consequences of competitive interactions. Hosts represent l...
