Egg load dynamics and the risk of egg and time limitation experienced by an aphid parasitoid in the field
Insect parasitoids and herbivores must balance the risk of egg limitation and time limitation in order to maximize reproductive success. Egg and time limitation are mediated by oviposition and egg maturation rates as well as by starvation risk and other determinants of adult lifespan. Here, we asses...
