摘要
Many parasitoids superparasitize, in which an insect attacks a previously parasitized host, laying an egg in the host even though only one offspring will emerge from the host. In this paper superparasitism is considered from the perspectives of optimal foraging theory, evolutionarily stable strategies, and quantitative genetics. The focal question is: at what point in its life should an individual parasitoid begin attacking previously parasitized hosts? Each of the three theoretical methods can be used to answer the question and by doing so, we see how the three methods are connected. Qualitative, empirical predictions based on the theories are described.
