Abstract
The ichneumonid parasitoid Exeristes comstockii apparently has no characteristic fatty acid composition of its own but duplicates that of its host. Thus it differs from three species of Diptera previously studied which, irrespective of diet, synthesize fatty acids and retain patterns characteristic of the species.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
