Conditional Mutualism between Allodynerus delphinalis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) and Ensliniella parasitica (Astigmata: Winterschmidtiidae) May Determine Maximum Parasitic Mite Infestation

Mutualism is a prominent interaction within ecosystems, yet most may actually be conditional. The symbiotic mite, Ensliniella parasitica Vitzthum, ingests the hemolymph of juvenile potter wasps, Allodynerus delphinalis (Giraud), but also protects them from a natural enemy, Melittobia acasta, and is...
