Conditioning the biocontrol agent Trissolcus japonicus on rearing hosts and plant-herbivore microcosms affects its foraging behaviour

Conditioning the biocontrol agent Trissolcus japonicus on rearing hosts and plant-herbivore microcosms affects its foraging behaviour

Pre-adult conditioning on rearing hosts and adult conditioning on plant-herbivore cues can induce phenotypic plasticity in parasitoids. This is particularly important in pre-emptive biocontrol, when parasitoids may be mass reared on alternative hosts prior to the arrival of the target pest. We evalu...
