The total number of galls and wasps were counted per syconium.
In each generation, 25-30 pairs of wasps, chosen randomly from 500-600 wasps of the current generation, were used to start the next generation.
Distances in the other two ecological wasp groups did not correlate significantly with floristic distances.
Further study is needed to determine whether wasp infestation influences pathogen infection in ticks.
The wasps rarely appeared before the sun reached the ant nest and would retreat when clouds blocked the sun or the nest was shaded.
Ten-percent honey solution was brushed on the inner sides of plastic cage as food for wasps.
The host larvae were then reared to pupation and kept at the test temperature until emergence of adult wasps.
Mated female wasps were collected three to four days after emergence for use in the observations.
