“…Arthur, 1962;Herrebout & Van der Veer, 1969;Read et al, 1970), whereas other parasitoids search preferentially among plants which emit cues of infestation by the host, such as odours released from plant tissues which have been damaged by the host (e.g. Monteith, 1958Monteith, , 1964. This difference in the refinement with which the species of parasitoid searches for its host's habitat may be correlated with the average abundance and distribution of a host.…”

“…Behavioural evidence suggests that parasitoids possess similar abilities to detect and distinguish different olfactory stimuli from plants (e.g. Thorpe & Caudle, 1938;Monteith, 1955Monteith, , 1966Arthur, 1962;Read et al, 1970;Schuster & Starks, 1974;Nettles, 1979Nettles, , 1980Elzen etal., 1983Elzen etal., , 1984aElzen etal., , b, 1986Elzen etal., , 1987, as well as volatile chemical stimuli from other host microhabitats (e.g. Thorpe & Jones, 1937;Vet, 1983Vet, , 1985Vet & van Opzeeland, 1984.…”

“…(Martin et al, 1990). Although, some tachinids have been found to use other cues such as auditory (Cade, 1975), visual (Herrebout & van der Veer, 1969;Monteith, 1955;1958), and vibration (Monteith 1956).…”
