“…Males do not contribute directly to biological control. Small mesh sizes might favour smaller females to enter, but smaller female parasitoids typically parasitize fewer hosts (Heinz, 1991). The impact of mesh size on control efficiency therefore requires further studies.…”

“…Most studies of the host quality model assumption provide data on how female fitness vs. male fitness is affected by either host size (Jones 1982;Garcia Saez de Nanclares 1988) or parasitoid size (van den Assem et al 1989;Heinz 1991;Ueno 1998Ueno , 1999Ji et al 2004), but not both. The present study illustrates the value of providing both.…”

“…Sexual size dimorphism is female-biased in most parasitoid wasp species (Hurlbutt 1987). However, reported effects of size on relative fitness appear to be quite variable among species and not related to sexual size dimorphism in a consistent pattern (van den Assem et al 1989;Heinz 1991;Seidl and King 1993;King and King 1994;Ueno 1998Ueno , 1999Ji et al 2004). In most species, size positively affects female fitness; however, effects on male fitness are more variable among species and have been less studied.…”

“…En particulier, chez les parasitoïdes idiobiontes et solitaires qui ne consomment qu'un seul hôte, la sélection a favorisé l'évolution vers l'utilisation optimale des ressources alimentaires limitées à un seul hôte. Ces ressources fixées par la taille de l'hôte influent sur la taille des parasitoïdes en développement, de telle sorte que les tests qualitatifs concluent à une corrélation positive entre la taille des hôtes, la survie et le succès reproducteur des adultes émergeants [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. L'histoire des traits de vie des femelles E. vuilleti et E. orientalis développées sur leur hôte primaire C. maculatus a été analysée par l'étendue de la période de reproduction, de la production journalière en oeufs et des descendants [3,23,25].…”
