Host recognition in Muscidifurax zaraptor (Hymenoptera :Pteromalidae) : a parasitoid of the house fly /

The pteromalid ectoparasitoid Muscidifurax zaraptor was studied in an attempt to understand the behavior and isolate the cues related to the recognition of its host, Musca domestica Linnaeus, the common house fly. Section I of this study involved the development of an ethogram in order to gain a b...
