The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Foraging behavior of egg parasitoids exploiting chemical information (2008, background): “to respond to volatiles derived from undamaged plants or plant extracts (e.g., Bar et al. 1979; Altieri et al. 1982; Nordlund et al. 1985; Kaiser et al. 1989; Boo and Yang 1998; Reddy et al. 2002; Romeis et al. 2005) (Table 1).”
Genetically engineered crops help support conservation biological control (2019, background): “The exceptions are studies conducted with adult egg parasitoids belonging to the genus Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) which, due to their minute size, are not able to feed on maize pollen grains (Romeis et al., 2005).”
Resistance Mechanisms Against Arthropod Herbivores in Cotton and Their Interactions with Natural Enemies (2013, background): “For example, several studies have reported a lower efficacy of Trichogramma spp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) egg parasitoids on pubescent versus glabrous cotton cultivars (Romeis et al., 2005).”
