摘要：

Highly significant correlations existed between parasite reproduction and host destruction statistics calculated for 3 hymenopterous parasites of muscoid flies, Muscidifurax raptorGirault & Sanders, M. zaraptorKogan & Legner, and Spalangia endiusWalker, ovipositing under varied environmentally controlled conditions. A consideration of an individual parasite's host destructive capacity is important in order to correctly evaluate the direct impact of periodic inundative releases in the field. In this study mortality resulting from host-feeding, probing and aborted parasitism averaged ca. 37, 28, and 31% for S. endius, M. raptor and M. zaraptor, respectively. The observation of such highly significant correlations with reproductive potential indicates a means for more accurate evaluation of field performance (hosts destroyed both reproductively and incidentally) in 3 useful species. © 1979 Le François.
