    Spatial population dynamics of a specialist aphid parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae): evidence for philopatry and restricted dispersal 

    Nyabuga, Franklin N.; Loxdale, Hugh D.; Heckel, David G.; Weisser, Wolfgang W. (Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010-01)
    Within insect communities, the population ecology of organisms representing higher trophic levels, for example, hymenopterous parasitoids, may be influenced by the structure of their insect hosts. Using microsatellite ...
