254.  Revised 2003 from: Legner, E. F.  1991a.  Estimations of number of active loci, dominance and heritability in polygenic inheritance of gregarious behavior in Muscidifurax raptorellus [Hymenoptera:  Pteromalidae]. Entomophaga 36(1):  1-18.

 

     {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.  Although the number of eggs laid on a host may

       also influence survival number, the present account measures only adult emergence.
