Thermal resilience may shape population abundance of two sympatric congeneric Cotesia species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).

Basal and plasticity of thermal tolerance determine abundance, biogeographical patterns and activity of insects over spatial and temporal scales. For coexisting stemborer parasitoids, offering synergistic impact for biological control, mismatches in thermal tolerance may influence their ultimate imp...
