189. Derived from: Legner, E. F. 1979. The relationship between
host destruction and parasite reproductive potential in Muscidifurax raptor, M. zaraptor,
and Spalangia endius [Chalcidoidea:
Pteromalidae]. Entomophaga
24(2): 145-152. {NOTE: All Muscidifurax females regularly superparasitize
their hosts (i.e., deposit more than one egg on a host pupa). However, in gregarious
sibling species development results in the survival of more than one
individual to the adult stage. In solitary species only a single
individual survives to the adult stage.} Summary Page 145 Page 146 Page 147 Page 148 Page 149 Figure 1-a Figure 1-b Figure 1-c Figure 2 |
