Abstract
Field-collected Melanoplus sanguinipes (F.) were reared in laboratory containers as isolated male/female couples, and the parasitization status of each individual was determined. Although number of eggs per pod and viability of eggs were similar for all females, parasitized females produced fewer egg pods than nonparasitized females.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
