Learning of Host-Finding Cues by Hymenopterous Parasitoids

  • Chapter
Insect Learning

Abstract

Interactions between insect parasitoids and their arthropod hosts characteristically result in the premature death of the hosts, and are obligatory for the development of the parasitic insects. This obviously places strong pressure on the hosts to avoid detection by parasitoids, and on the parasitoids themselves to improve encounter rates with suitable hosts. To confront the challenge of finding the often-inconspicuous, well-hidden hosts, parasitoids have developed various sophisticated searching strategies that depend on a vast array of environmental cues.
