Sparks, V., Kang, I., Carrere, M., Broadley, H., & Diaz, R. 2025 Differential oviposition timing by seasonality and oviposition timing of parasitoids of the invasive roseau cane scale (Nipponaclerda biwakoensis) as revealed by multiplex PCR assays. Journal of Hymenoptera Research 98: 1133–1152

Notes: The objectives of this study were to (1) develop species-specific PCR primers for Aprostocetus sp., (2) incorporate the newly developed primers into the already existing encyrtid multiplex, and (3) determine the host life stage window each species parasitizes their host by performing PCR with the multiplex on different RCS life stages. https://doi.org/10.3897/jhr.98.150721
