The timing of egg maturation in insects: ovigeny index and initial egg load as measures of fitness and of resource allocation by Jervis, Mark A., Ferns, Peter N.

“…Both the ovigeny index (OI) - defined as the proportion of the potential lifetime complement of eggs that is mature upon female emergence, and egg load -…”

unusual, but not unexpected, evolutionary step taken by syrphid flies: the first record of true primary parasitoidism of ants by Microdontinae by Pérez‐Lachaud, Gabriela, Jervis, Mark A, Reemer, Menno, Lachaud, Jean‐Paul

“…Parasitoidism of ants by flies is known only for Phoridae and Tachinidae. We report the first record of a hoverfly (Syrphidae, Microdontinae, Hypselosyrphus)…”

Egg maturation strategy and survival trade-offs in holometabolous insects: a comparative approach by JERVIS, MARK A, BOGGS, CAROL L, FERNS, PETER N
