Description

Flowers are bagged to prevent natural parasitism, then exposed to controlled introductions of parasitoid wasps or ambient parasitoid activity, followed by assessment of parasitism effects on seed predators.

Typical Equipment

  • GPS
  • bags
  • nets
  • traps

Output Measurements

  • parasitism rates
  • larval mass
  • capitulum damage area
