Hyperparasitoids use herbivore-induced plant volatiles to locate their parasitoid host. by Erik H Poelman, Maaike Bruinsma, Feng Zhu, Berhane T Weldegergis, Aline E Boursault, Yde Jongema, Joop J A van Loon, Louise E M Vet, Jeffrey A Harvey, Marcel Dicke

“…We show that hyperparasitoids find their victims through herbivore-induced plant volatiles emitted in response to attack by caterpillars that in turn had been parasitized by primary parasitoids. Moreover, only one of two species of parasitoids affected herbivore-induced plant volatiles resulting in the attraction of more hyperparasitoids than volatiles from plants damaged by healthy caterpillars. …”
