A female-emitted pheromone component is associated with reduced male courtship in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia endius (2013)
Journal Article
Mowles, S. L., King, B. H., Linforth, R. S., & Hardy, I. C. (2013). A female-emitted pheromone component is associated with reduced male courtship in the parasitoid wasp Spalangia endius. PLoS ONE, 8(11), Article e82010. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0082010

During courtship interactions, the courted individual may not always be prepared to mate. For example, mating or courtship may be detrimental to its fitness and resistance is expected under these circumstances. As such, various resistance strategies...

Consequences of resource competition for sex allocation and discriminative behaviors in a hyperparasitoid wasp (2013)
Journal Article
Visser, B., Le Lann, C., Snaas, H., Hardy, I. C., & Harvey, J. A. (2014). Consequences of resource competition for sex allocation and discriminative behaviors in a hyperparasitoid wasp. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 68(1), 105-113. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-013-1627-1

Population-wide mating patterns can select for equal parental investment in both sexes, but limiting resources, such as mates or developmental substrates, can increase competition leading to biased sex ratios in favor of either sex. Such competition... Read More about Consequences of resource competition for sex allocation and discriminative behaviors in a hyperparasitoid wasp.

Subjective and objective components of resource value additively increase aggression in parasitoid contests (2013)
Journal Article
Stockermans, B. . C., & Hardy, I. C. W. (2013). Subjective and objective components of resource value additively increase aggression in parasitoid contests. Biology Letters, 9(4), 20130391-20130391. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2013.0391

Two major categories of factors are predicted to influence behaviour in dyadic contests; differences in the abilities of the contestants to acquire and retain resources (resource holding potential), and the value of the contested resource (resource v...
