• Reproductive tradeoffs of learning in a butterfly (2011, background): “Additionally, delaying reproduction may lead to missed opportunities due to egg limitation upon emergence (Rosenheim et al. 2000; Jervis et al. 2001)—for instance, butterflies may encounter host plants during their first day of adulthood, but ovary immaturity may preclude the use of these plants.”
• Influence of flowering cover crops on Anagrus parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) and Erythroneura leafhoppers (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) in New York vineyards (2003, background): “Pro-ovigenic Anagrus wasps emerge as adults with a full complement of eggs (Jervis et al., 2001), and do not require protein resources to develop additional eggs, although adults may still require food to provide the energy to search for and parasitize eggs (Jervis et al., 1996).”
• Comparing floral nectar and aphid honeydew diets on the longevity and nutrient levels of a parasitoid wasp (2004, background): “The egg loads of newly emerged D. insulare were significantly lower than the endpoint egg loads from all four treatments (Figure 6), indicating that this species is synovigenic (Jervis et al., 2001).”
• Body size and the timing of egg production in parasitoid wasps: a comparative analysis (2003, background): “In common with certain other life-history traits (Blackburn 1991a,b), a continuum of ovigeny index exists among Hymenoptera (Jervis et al. 2001).”
• Egg maturation strategy and its associated trade‐offs: a synthesis focusing on Lepidoptera (2005, background): “Among parasitoid wasps OI and adult lifespan are negatively correlated both within (Jervis et al., 2001; using data in Ellers & van Alphen, 1997) and between species (Jervis et al.”
• Extrafloral nectar from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) as a food source for parasitic wasps (2006, background): “croceipes is slightly synovigenic (ovigenity index 0·34) and adults emerge with some immature eggs (Jervis et al. 2001).”
• The physiology of host feeding in parasitic wasps: implications for survival (2002, unknown): “The nature of nutritional resources and the pattern of allocation of nutrients are both fundamental aspects of the life history of organisms and, as such, have critical consequences for fitness (Roff 1992; O'Brien, Schrag & Martinez del Rio 2000; Jervis et al. 2001; Rivero et al. 2001).”
• Molecular phylogenetics of Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea), based on multiple nuclear genes, and implications for classification (2011, unknown): “…well as evolutionary studies on the development of parasitism (Shaw, 1983; Gauld, 1988; Whitfield, 1992; Quicke & Belshaw, 1999; Jervis et al., 2001; Belshaw & Quicke, 2002; Zaldivar-Riverón et al., 2008), host–parasite interactions (Clausen, 1954; Strand & Obrycki, 1996;…”
• The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, background): “Proovigenic parasitoid species, which emerge with an egg-load ready for oviposition (Jervis et al. 2001) and consume a relatively simple diet, mainly or exclusively constituted by carbohydrates (Wäckers 2001), can exploit dietary restriction.”
• Factors affecting the evolution of development strategies in parasitoid wasps: the importance of functional constraints and incorporating complexity (2005, background): “Recent evidence has also suggested that most idiobiont and koinobiont parasitoids are ‘synovigenic’, meaning they continue to mature eggs throughout the course of their lives (Jervis et al., 2001).”
