Superparasitism in Cotesia glomerata: response of hosts and consequences for parasitoids (2003, background): “If the relative quality of habitats is high, i.e. without limitation of host supply, such an egg load can still be a limiting factor for the lifetime reproductive success of parasitoids (Zaviezo & Mills, 2000).”
Clutch size decisions of a gregarious parasitoid under laboratory and field conditions (2003, background): “Zaviezo & Mills (2000) provided evidence that egg supply is an important limitation for Hyssopus pallidus under laboratory conditions, and that the consequent reduction in clutch size results in a maximization of lifetime fitness rather than the fitness gain from individual hosts (see also Flanagan…”
Size dependent predation risk in cryptic and conspicuous insects (2007, background): “It is way possible that other predators or parasitoids can inflict mortality with various degrees of size-dependence to the larvae (e.g. Weseloh 1990; Grushecky et al. 1998; Zaviezo and Mills 2000; Henry and Day 2001; Teder and Tammaru 2001; Cogni et al. 2002).”
Evolutionary Ecology of Oviposition Strategies (2008, background): “Many researchers have found a positive correlation between clutch size and the size or local density of the food resource (Pilson and Rausher, 1988; Vasconcellosneto and Monteiro, 1993; Lemasurier, 1994; Fox et al., 1996; Zaviezo and Mills, 2000).”
