Host-Plant-Mediated Effects on the Demography, Parasitism Rates and Functional Response of Bracon hebetor on Spodoptera frugiperda
Tritrophic interactions among host plants, herbivores and parasitoids can influence biological control efficacy, yet plant-mediated effects on parasitoid performance against the invasive fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, are poorly understood. We evaluated the effects of maize and castor on the life-history traits,...
