The impact of fluctuating thermal regimes on the survival of a cold‐exposed parasitic wasp, Aphidius colemani (2006, methodology): “Aphids were all synchronized at the same age to avoid host-age effects on parasitoids development (Colinet et al., 2005).”
Water Relations, Fat Reserves, Survival, and Longevity of a Cold-exposed Parasitic Wasp Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae) (2006, unknown): “To obtain mummies for the experiments, batches of 50 2-d-old aphids were offered to female parasitoids for 4 h. Aphids were synchronized at the same age to avoid host-age effects on parasitoid development (Colinet et al. 2005).”
Development, specificity and sublethal effects of symbiont‐conferred resistance to parasitoids in aphids (2012, background): “…resources 40 provided by later host stages typically allow parasitoids to develop faster and to a larger body 41 size (Sequeira & Mackauer 1992; Colinet et al. 2005), yet attacking larger aphids is more 42 dangerous and time-consuming because of their more effective behavioral defenses (Chau &…”
