Do egg parasitoids increase the tendency of Lestes sponsa (Odonata: Lestidae) to oviposit underwater?
The selection of oviposition sites by insects can significantly affect egg mortality. Spreadwing damselflies (Odonata: Lestidae) predominantly lay their eggs in parts of plants growing above the surface of water and only occasionally also those parts growing underwater. Factors affecting the choice...
