Oviposition site selection and clutch size in insects
From MaRDI portal
Publication:1086202
Oviposition site selection and clutch size in parasitic insects can be viewed as problems in foraging theory. In this paper, a number of models for site selection and clutch size are developed, based on a dynamic state variable approach to optimal oviposition strategies. The models lead to predictions that are consistent with existing experimental data and suggest future experiments. Using these models shows the importance of constraints and state variables in the analysis of behavioral problems.
