Shifting Preference between Oviposition vs. Host-Feeding under Changing Host Densities in Two Aphelinid Parasitoids

Destructive host-feeding is common in hymenopteran parasitoids. Such feeding may be restricted to host stages not preferred for oviposition. However, whether this is a fixed strategy or can vary according to resource levels or parasitoid needs is less clear. We tested the trade-off between host feed...
