Planthoppers and leafhoppers not only feed on rice plants but also act as highly efficient vectors for plant viruses, causing ...
A research group studying the diversity of parasitoid insects around the world. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are one of the most species rich animal taxa on Earth, but their tropical diversity is ...
Data and methodology -- Parasitoid species richness -- Host mortality -- Parasitoid impact -- Independent variables -- Dependent variables -- Statistical analysis ...
Parasitoid insects, unlike parasites, kill their hosts by consuming them during their larval stage. Most parasitoids are small wasps and flies, and they infect a wide range of insects and arachnids.
1. Gradients in elevation are increasingly used to investigate how species respond to changes in local climatic conditions. Whilst many studies have shown elevational patterns in species richness and ...

A group of parasitic insects tough enough to kill fire ants has shown researchers a nasty new trick. The creatures hide inside their victim by making the host form a protective bag of its own skin.
