Functional and evolutionary aspects of mouthpart structure in parasitoid wasps

This paper considers specializations in mouthpart structure among parasitoid wasps. I commence with a brief survey of mouthpart specializations (mostly involving the mandibles only) that serve functions other than feeding: facilitating emergence of the parasitoid adult from its place of pupation; fa...
