Parasitoids of Drosophila

Studies have been conducted on various parasitoid species, and almost all different approaches of the biology of parasitoids have been studied on parasitoids of Drosophila. This book synthesizes the different fields of research that can be explored. It reports techniques and methods adapted to the study of larval parasitoid species.
