Extract

Because the detectability of host eggs is low, egg parasitoids rely on infochemicals other than those from the host egg itself, such as host plant synomones (Nordlund 1994; Meiners et al. 2000) and adult host kairomones (Nordlund et al. 1983; Nordlund 1994; Colazza et al. 1999; Meiners et al. 2000). Egg kairomones are used only in the final stages of host selection (Kainoh et al. 1982; Strand and Vinson 1982, 1983; Nordlund et al. 1987; Meiners et al. 2000; Takasu and Nordlund 2001).
