• The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, background): “Thus, the mere presence of flowering weeds or cover crops does not ensure food accessibility for parasitoids (Lee et al. 2006), since many naturally occurring plants are not attractive or are even repellent to them (Heimpel and Jervis 2005; Wäckers 2004).”
• Honeydew as a food source for natural enemies: Making the best of a bad meal? (2008, unknown): “Other studies found a relatively high incidence of sugar feeding in parasitoids collected from nectar-poor fields and concluded that parasitoids must have exploited alternative sugar sources, most likely honeydew (Casas et al., 2003; Lee and Heimpel, 2003; Lee et al., 2006).”
• Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control (2010, background): “As alternative food sources were extremely rare in the studies by Lee et al. (2006), they suggest between-treatment dispersal of a least 67 m for D. insulare.”
• A handbook for uncovering the complete energetic budget in insects: the van Handel's method (1985) revisited (2012, methodology): “This method has already been used to analyze the feeding source of parasitoids; notably to discriminate nectar and honeydew (Lee et al., 2006; Wyckhuys et al., 2008).”
• Pick and Mix: Selecting Flowering Plants to Meet the Requirements of Target Biological Control Insects (2012, background): “…strategy has been demonstrated to be effective in enhancing the nutritional state of targeted benefi cial insect groups (Olsen and W ä ckers, 2007 ; Lee et al ., 2006 ), as well as their local abundance (Baggen et al ., 1999 ; Vattala et al ., 2006 ; Pontin et al ., 2006 ; Carvell et al ., 2007 ).”
