Host and food searching in a parasitic wasp Venturia canescens: A trade-off between current and future reproduction?
Article Abstract:
The food and host searching decisions made by the insect parasitoid Venturia canescens in both laboratory and field conditions were investigated. Venturia canescens might reduce the costs associated with food searching, so that more time and energy can be allocated to foraging for hosts by integrating responses to infochemicals related to host and food.
