As synthetic insecticides can have environmentally detrimental side effects, it is desirable to limit their use while still achieving good marketable yield. One approach is to apply pesticides only when needed, as determined by an action threshold (A...

Encountering competitors reduces clutch size and increases offspring size in a parasitoid with female–female fighting (2007)
Journal Article
Goubault, M., Mack, A. F., & Hardy, I. C. (2007). Encountering competitors reduces clutch size and increases offspring size in a parasitoid with female–female fighting. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 274(1625), 2571-2577. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2007.0867

Understanding the size of clutches produced by only one parent may require a game-theoretic approach: clutch size may affect offspring fitness in terms of future competitive ability. If larger clutches generate smaller offspring and larger adults are...
