Zhang, F.P., Zhu, J.-H., Li, L., Han, D.-Y., Chen, J.-Y., Niu, L.-M., & Fu, Y.-G 2017 Effect of host size on the oviposition selection and reproduction of Metahycus parasaissetiae. Environmental Entomology 39(5): 1130-1134
Keywords:
Notes: To clarify the effect of host size on the oviposition selection and reproduction of Metaphycus parasaiddetiae the fecundity, parasitic rate, developmental duration and sex ratio were studied on the different size Parasaissetia nigra. The parasitoid can adjust their fecundity and progeny sex ratio to ensure the maximum offspring suitability according to the host size
