- Sustainable pest regulation in agricultural landscapes: a review on landscape composition, biodiversity and natural pest control (2006, background): “For example, the longevity and fecundity of parasitoids are substantially increased when nectar sources are available (Baggen & Gurr 1998; Siekmann et al. 2001; Wäckers 2001; Costamagna & Landis 2004; Lee et al. 2004).”
- Manipulating plant resources to enhance beneficial arthropods in agricultural landscapes (2005, background): “Costia rubecula (Marshall), a parasitoid of the cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae (L.)), requires a sugar meal approximately once per day to prevent starvation (Siekmann et al. 2001).”
- The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, background): “rubecula when a single honey meal is offered, with greater benefits when the sugar concentration is just below 50% (Siekmann et al. 2001).”
- Nutritional value of floral nectar sources for flight in the parasitoid wasp, Cotesia glomerata (2006, background): “Previous laboratory studies show that adult parasitoids deprived of access to nectar or sugar sources have a reduced longevity and/or fecundity (Jacob & Evans, 2000; Schmale et al., 2001; Siekmann et al., 2001).”
- Effects of honeydew sugar composition on the longevity of Aphidius ervi (2007, background): “It can increase reproductive fitness of parasitoids by increasing their longevity, fecundity, and/or parasitism rate (Jervis et al., 1996; Fadamiro & Heimpel, 2001; Siekmann et al., 2001; Wäckers, 2001; Winkler et al., 2006).”
- Effects of feeding frequency and sugar concentration on behavior and longevity of the adult aphid parasitoid: Aphidius ervi (Haliday) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) (2004, background): “Similar results were obtained with other insects for instance: ants (Josens et al., 1998), the braconid Cotesia rubecula (Siekmann et al., 2001), or the fruit fly Rhagoletis indifferens (Yee, 2003).”
- Food-searching in parasitoids: the dilemma of choosing between 'immediate' or future fitness gains (2008, background): “Siekmann et al. (2004) found, in wind tunnel experiments, that among one-day-old females of C.”
- Host and food searching in a parasitic wasp Venturia canescens: a trade-off between current and future reproduction? (2005, background): “…exclusive activities: they search for hosts (generally other insects) where their offspring develop, thus gaining immediate fitness, or they increase survival and/or future reproductive output (Idris & Grafius 1995; Siekmann et al. 2001) by searching for food (Roff 1992; Sirot & Bernstein 1996).”
- Enhancing the effectiveness of the parasitoid Diadegma semiclausum (Helen): Movement after use of nectar in the field (2005, background): “Many parasitoid longevity studies suggest that adults need to locate food at least once per day to avoid starvation (Azzouz et al., 2004; Idris and GraWus, 1995; Irvin et al., in press; Siekmann et al., 2001 ), stressing the importance of frequent sugar sources to parasitoids.”
