Article Synopsis
- The article discusses hyperparasitism among parasitoids, focusing on the behavior of Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae, which parasitizes Drosophila puparia in a conspecific manner.
- It describes experiments where hosts were exposed to the parasitoid at different time intervals, leading to distinct offspring emergence events associated with primary and secondary parasitism.
- Findings reveal cannibalism among larvae from secondary foundresses on primary conspecific pupae, along with reduced fitness and body size in secondary parasitoids compared to those from primary parasitism, while indicating that offspring can recover when they encounter healthy hosts.
