Hyperparasitoids are some of the most diverse members of insect food webs. True hyperparasitoids parasitize the larvae of other parasitoids, reaching these larvae with their ovipositor through the herbivore that hosts the parasitoid larva. During pupation, primary parasitoids also may be attacked by …

Introduction: The Netherlands does not have a national guideline for performing radiographic exami nations on pregnant patients.

Adults of many mosquito species feed on plants to obtain metabolic energy and to enhance reproduction. Mosquitoes primarily rely on olfaction to locate plants and are known to respond to a range of plant volatiles. We studied the olfactory response of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti to methyl …

Heatwaves are expected to increase in the future due to climate change. Heatwaves cause heat stress to humans and some of the effects are dehydration and hyperthermia. In general it is known what can be done to reduce heat stress. However, applying this knowledge on a local scale requires a clear overview …

Animals can alter their foraging behavior through associative learning, where an encounter with an essential resource (e.g., food or a reproductive opportunity) is associated with nearby environmental cues (e.g., volatiles). This can subsequently improve the animal’s foraging efficiency. However, when …
