• Factors affecting the evolution of development strategies in parasitoid wasps: the importance of functional constraints and incorporating complexity (2005, background): “…does not feed and grow), parasitoid offspring size is usually correlated with the size of the host when it is parasitized (Salt, 1940, 1941; Arthur & Wylie, 1959; Sandlan, 1982; Otto & Mackauer, 1998; Fidgen et al., 2000; Harvey et al., 2003, 2004a, 2004b; Nakamatsu & Tanaka, 2004) (Figure 1A).”
• Host age and fitness‐related traits in a koinobiont aphid parasitoid (2005, background): “…relationships (Fox et al., 1967; Bertschy et al., 2000; Bell et al., 2003; Hu et al., 2003), (3) constant relationship (Liu, 1985), (4) shorter development time in first and fourth instars (Sequeira & Mackauer, 1993), and (5) U-shaped relationships (Jones & Greenberg, 1998; Harvey et al., 2004).”
• Effects of Soil Organisms on Aboveground Plant-Insect Interactions in the Field: Patterns, Mechanisms and the Role of Methodology (2018, unknown): “Furthermore, parasitoids are affected by changes in the quality of their herbivore hosts, as their life cycles intimately depend on host ecophysiology (e.g., MacKauer, 1996; Harvey, 2000; Harvey et al., 2004).”
• Predicting the effects of climate change on natural enemies of agricultural pests (2010, background): “Given that parasitoid fecundity is often positively correlated with size, host quality represents an important constraint on parasitoid fitness (Harvey et al., 1999) with some exceptions (Harvey et al., 2004; Hackermann et al., 2007).”
