Predation of a prey by a predator usually takes much more time than the parasitization of a host by a parasitoid. |
We tested the reproductive compensation hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis that parasitization depresses host resource allocation to reproduction. |
The effect of organic fertilizers on fungi parasitization of beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii eggs in sugar beet cultivated in a three years rotation. |
They are known to attack Brown-headed Cowbirds, and the low rate of cowbird parasitization of their nests seems to indicate that their defense is effective. |
Vasogenic edema from compressive ischemia, venous stasis or parasitization of pial vessels may also occur and can be extensive. |
However, we have found little evidence of parasitization by varroa or tracheal mites. |
