Identification of candidate genes associated with host-seeking behavior in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
BackgroundDiachasmimorpha longicaudata is a hymenopteran fruit fly endoparasitoid. Females of this species find their hosts for oviposition by using...

Conspecific scent marks may influence underground site selection by a fossorial reptile
AbstractConspecific cues often provide social information on habitat quality that is considered when deciding to settle at a specific site. The type...
