Evolutionary aspects of the parasitoid life strategy, with a particular emphasis on fly–spider interactions

Abstract: Parasitoids are significant ecological elements of terrestrial food webs and have evolved within seven insect orders. Interestingly, however, associations with spiders as hosts have evolved only in two insect orders, Diptera and Hymenoptera. Here, we summarize various aspects of host utilization by dipteran flies with an emphasis on associations with spiders. Our synthesis reveals that spider flies (family Acroceridae) have evolved a unique life strategy among all the parasitoid taxa associated with spiders, i… Show more
