Evolutionary Biology of Animal Cognition (2004, background): “…et al. 1985); (b) increased reproductive success in parasitoid wasps (Biosteres arizanus) that were allowed to rely on learning for host choice (Dukas & Duan 2000); and (c) higher survival and reproduction of herbivorous mites (Tetranychus urticae) that learned to prefer one host plant species…”
Animal cognition and animal behaviour (2001, background): “…of learning has been investigated by showing that growth or reproduction are greater in experimental environments where important resources like mates or oviposition sites can be associated with simple cues than in environments where the same resources are unpredictable (see Dukas & Duan 2000).”
