Sex ratio shift caused by hyperparasitism in the solitary parasitoid Lysiphlebus hirticornis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae)
We examined the influence of offspring mortality caused by hyperparasitism on the secondary sex ratio of Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer, a solitary endoparasitoid of the aphid Metopeurum fuscoviride Stroyan, in the field.
