The metabolic costs of fighting and host exploitation in a seed-drilling parasitic wasp

Romain P. Boisseau, H. Arthur Woods, Marlène Goubault
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology

Published: 1 November 2017
.... Using flow-through respirometry, we quantified the metabolic costs of fighting and of drilling through the seed to access the host, to understand the wasp’s fighting strategies and the occurrence of superparasitism. Agonistic interactions such as kicks or pushes generated very small instantaneous costs...
