Abstract
Chemical Ecology of Parasitic Hymenoptera.
Highlights
The effects of abiotic factors on biotic interactions mediated by herbivore-induced plant volatiles have received only limited attention
Over the past one hundred years, the evolutionary chemical ecology of arthropods has been deeply investigated by a wide range of scientists, including chemists, ecologists, neurobiologists, entomologists, and behavioural and evolutionary biologists
A substantial number of studies focused on the ecology of parasitic Hymenoptera, wasp species that have evolved to utilize insect herbivores
Summary
The effects of abiotic factors on biotic interactions mediated by herbivore-induced plant volatiles have received only limited attention. A substantial number of studies focused on the ecology of parasitic Hymenoptera, wasp species that have evolved to utilize insect herbivores. Parasitoids are considered key organisms in both natural and agricultural systems, for their role in ecosystem services and biological pest control.
