Cold storage of insect parasitoids is currently used before mass release in the field in biological control programmes. The physiological consequences of constant cold storage are known in various species of parasitic wasps, but there are few reports on the behaviour of survivors and even fewer reports where both sexes were tested. In this study, we observed the consequences of a long storage of Aphidius rhopalosiphi...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the physiological costs and the consequences on fitness of cold exposure on the parasitoid Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Aphidiinae) under non-lethal conditions. We exposed 1-day-old mummies to different treatments: control at 20°C, 7°C constant, 7°C fluctuating (7°C for 22 h and 20°C for 2 h). Two performances of fitness were particularly affected after two weeks...
