▪ Abstract Parasitoid wasps have evolved a wide spectrum of developmental interactions
with hosts. In this review we synthesize and interpret results from the phylogenetic …

Immature development of parasitoid wasps is restricted to resources found in a single host
that is often similar in size to the adult parasitoid. When two or more parasitoids of the same …
