Diet of adult ladybird beetle host modifies the postdiapause development of the parasitoid Dinocampus coccinellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Our study showed that under natural conditions the rate and speed of postdiapause emergence by overwintering larvae of the endoparasitic wasp, Dinocampus coccinellae (Schrank) is enhanced when its ladybird beetle host Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer) receives a nutritious (proteinaceous) diet during l...
